Got messaged by a C3 . ai recruiter. Read that wlb is bad and that the interview process is absurdly long, but the Glassdoor reviews are 4.2 and can't find actual hours worked posted by anyone. How's the culture really? I'd be aiming for DS consulting, something more functional but with DS/ML concepts as my differentiator.

I would join a tech company in an operations role that leveraged data a lot (product operations, business operations, maybe finance, maybe account management, or a role relevant to your current consulting background) and learn some SQL to pivot internally. Bootcamps are overrated, expensive, and companies have the preconceived notion that the bootcamp graduates aren’t very good and will not want to hire you.
In my experience that applies more to data analyst roles, that can range from SQL to coding. I have yet to see a data science role that didn’t require me to pass a statistics based screening.
Having said that, I don’t doubt some companies slap the title data scientist on a random role to try to get more applications.
If you just want to work with data and use coding languages or BI softwares, analyst is the way to go. If you are interested in machine learning/predictive analytics or other statistical analyses, data science tends to cover that. I made the pivot after getting a masters in DS. It definitely requires a much more technical foundation.
