Ya could def switch if you showed initiative and data literacy, so my below tho, the grass isn’t always greener

Agreed with your move. I’m kinda going the other way around now. Being a data scientist for some years and want to pick up more strategy related skills. I believe in diversity😛

An additional FYI, in traditional consulting firms, strategy folks are still the highest paid by a large margin in some cases. Keep that in mind as you look at switching, the days of the 500k TC Facebook data scientist are likely behind us, data is becoming more and more accessible and more and more niche, essentially the skill is becoming commoditized

Hi everyone,

I have got the ey hr mail stating i should provide him with aadhar card, information sheet and latest resume for a audit and assurance contract for 6 months as iam a semi qualified CA.

Here my question is should i take this opportunity. Cause since this is only for 6 months. After that, what i can do, where should I try to get the job?

In mid size firms, people won't pay as much as big 4 pays.

Should I take it or am I making a mistake by taking this.

Hi all,
I’m currently working for a small technical consulting start-up firm. I make good money, have great benefits, and they seem very happy with the work I’m doing, so I know I could move up quickly. However, tech consulting is definitely not my dream job. I want to get into data analytics, and I have an offer from a big company to do just that. I’ve only been at my current company for about 8 months, but I don’t ever see myself loving this job. How do I know when it’s time to make a change?

In reality, most of these DSA concepts are already implemented in some libraries our code uses and we rarely have to code such Algorithms by hand.
