I'm currently a Scrum Master that is looking to make an exit! I have a new profound love for data! However when looking at the salary for data analytics, it appears that I would have to take a pay cut. I currently make 123k in the state of NC...any insight? Should I transition to Data Engineering instead?

Are you looking to transition into being a Data Engineer or a Data Scientist?

Data Scientists can definitely make massive amounts of money especially if you eventually land a Senior/Lead position at top companies. Not entirely sure about Data Engineering but there should be positions out there where you can earn $130k+.

That being said and based on what you've said, your only experience is being a Scrum Master (and potentially non-tech roles), so why would a company give you a max amount of money for a Data position? If you don't have relevant experience, I would focus more on the potential career/salary growth in that field rather than what you get paid right away.

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
