I’m currently in the Expert path for data science at McK. Thoughts on the switch to “Data Science, Analytics” role at Facebook? Curious about the difference in earning potential and work life balance! (And yes I know the data scientist position at Facebook isn’t real data science - whereas what I’m doing at McK is)

Any insights/opinions/advice would be super helpful! Just trying to plan for my future :)

you can't go wrong either way. switching will get you plugged into the valley and find your way around there. otoh mckinsey data science is getting better day by day and growth is good. you can go from specialist to sr. expert in 3 years and make well over 350K in a lcol city

Isn't McK massively shifting its DS teams? Kevin essentially merged all the DS folks into Quantum Black and they are now all client facing/more generalist

They’ve always been client facing but yes to the movement towards highly integrated teams

Hi Fishes,

My last working date with TCS is on 4th March 2022 and now they are offering me 80% hike and Canada onsite opportunity and telling that will initiate visa as soon as I take resignation back and also ready to provide written confirmation. On the other hand I have an offer from IBM of 120% hike fixed and performance bonus would be there which I am not considering now.

Which one would be better? please suggest based on your knowledge and experience.

I interviewed for Data Analyst role at EY, it went well and the job sounds great, but I'm a bit hesitant to leave PwC because I really like the firm and I'm just 8 months in my job as an associate at a subgroup of ITS that has some focus on technology and analytics but it's mostly tax compliance.

I do want to transition to data analytics but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to go to another big 4, or maybe just look for a position in industry.

Any advice or similar experience?
