Which one to choose between Optum and Tiger Analytics for Data Scientist position? Where can I expect better data science domain expertise (In my previous companies I found very less understanding of Data Science practices as team)? Heared good things about both of these. Also hearing Tiger is expanding rapidly and getting some crap projects as well in the name of data science. Could someone put light on these things?
YOE: 4.5 Years
Tiger: 18L Fixed + 1L JB
Optum: 21L Fixed + 1.5L JB

My family has only been myself and my daughter and my friends. Many friends have deceived me. Very few people especially at work are allowed to have information about me or attend functions or events outside of work. There are a limited handful of nurses and techs who I do talk and share with but currently we all have different employers.
When you live in a small community where you are not just co-workers but are also neighbors and friends your relations with coworkers have to come with a certain level of respect for the roles that everyone plays in life. You have to have emotional maturity, strong character and be genuine . In my opinion your work relationships mold who you are at home and vice versa Respect the different roles people play, stay in the right lanes and enjoy the destination. The people you spend a good portion of your life with doesn’t have to be strangers , but should have mutual respect and understanding. I would be a cold world not to have friends in the workplace especially since you spend more hours awake on the job than you do at home.
Definitely not. I have heard people echo this sentiment so I know you're not alone, but my work team is just that: a team. I try to keep them at a distance because being too friendly or familiar with colleagues is a liability in my opinion.

I agree but I think that's also so sad and disconnecting

I understand that feeling. When you share intense shifts, stressful situations, and long hours together, those bonds become very real. It is a different kind of connection that people outside healthcare often struggle to understand.
Heck no, I'm sorry that's the way things are for you. I don't get as much time with my SO as I'd like, but I'm still very much aware that what we have is a million times stronger than any amount of camaraderie I have with my coworkers. You need to get your priorities in check my friend.
Nope. Those are co-workers. Not family. Not friends. I leave those I people behind at the end of shift.

I understand the bond that can happen when you do intense work but it is important to have boundaries with coworkers in my experience.

I don't feel like they are my family but we spend a LOT of time together so I get how this could come up
