What is the average salary of a Senior 1?
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

You'll take a pay hit moving to analytics, more tech isn't a way around that. This is because analytics is business-first rather than tech-first. At the end of the day no stakeholders care that you have XYZ tool in your belt, the buzzwords are just nice to have. The only way I see analytics comp staying on par is with excellent business acumen that lands you a level or two higher. Idk if that counts as "no hit" to you.
The in-between where tech matters is MLE. This just means moving to a team of SWEs that focuses on that, or maybe to a support role on a research team. Not an analytics team.
You've already got the formal tech stack for either btw, assuming that "Python" is all the right Python libraries and not just the syntax.
Ugh negotiation and people skill? It’s my understanding that SDE salary band is generally higher than DE/DS roles at same level so looks like you need to aim for higher rank or non IC role
What would I need heads-down-skill-wise to basically be able to write my own ticket in that space?
Oh and I’m good at math, so there’s no cognitive ceiling really.
