I recently finished a DS program while in college (graduating in one year for BS Data Analytics). I’ve been job searching, now currently I’ve only had 2 internships. If I want to land a job in Data Science field, what’s the best approach? Do I first start as a Data Analyst then work my way up to Data Scientist? I’ve applied to about 100 jobs+ for an Entry Level position for Data Analyst but have gotten nothing. Should I just stop applying and just finish my BS as quickly as possible then reapply

Without knowing your actual financial situation, I’m going to presume you’re on a tight budget. While further education can be a good investment, you really want to make sure you have a source of income. You don’t want to come out of schooling with a load of debt and no job.

I’d recommend you look for any paying relevant experience, even if it’s not what you want long term. Many degrees can be done online/after hours so you can get work experience, have an income, and continue you education at the same time.

You may find you have an easier time switching jobs with some actual work experience.

Wanted to highlight Prudential Financial’s hiring practices. They rescinded my offer once I attempted to negotiate the salary. The official reason given was that I didn’t “sound excited enough”.
