I’m taking on a data science lead role at a small-ish consultancy next month - moving on from my role at a Big4 company. They currently have no data science offering and are looking for me to build a team and the overall capability. Does anyone have any advice to share please?

When you’re building a practice, you need to have 2 layers;
Layer 1 - someone with strong technical skills + someone great at selling. These are the two you will lean on every single day.
Layer 2 - muscle that gets the work done, ideally interested in learning / gaining experience.

Populate Layer 1 and 1 person in Layer 2 asap. Then get the Layer 1 folks to help populate the rest of Layer 2.

Hi Fishes,

I am currently working as an Analyst in HCL Technologies BSERV which is considered as a BPO. I received a promotion to a new job post Sr. Associate-WPC. Is this new position also a part of BPO or does it come under IT or Technical Department? Also currently there is no hike being provided even though the band has changed from 0.3 to 1.1, can I expect a hike once the yearly cycle is completed?
