OP - Thank you for your insight and suggestions.

How many hours do you work per week?

In my first job, ranges between 40 to 60, more as I was more junior and steadily decreased, but of course there are weeks of higher burn.

In my new role, it’s been 50 to 55 mostly.

What skills do you need to possess to make an entry into data science? I’m interested and have background with data wrangling but with low codes tools such as alteryx. Are Python and sql critical skills to have?

Not but knowing the ones needed for whatever DS role you are applying for will be useful.

What does your current role involve?

Mainly identifying opportunities for, leading, and running AI initiatives at various portcos for EBITDA uplift, but also pre-deal diligence involvement.

What’s your comp breakdown?

Almost 40/60 base/bonus

What type of firm were you consulting at? Big 4/Accenture? MBB? Boutique?

MBB

How do I become a data scientist 🤓

I do know some Python and sql lol but math isn’t my speciality

Nice bowl to avoid lowering the average in the US-centric threads. Anybody else finding that with the lack of pay rises this year, it’s become even harder to benchmark? Had a few recruiters recently suggesting I’d get 25% more by moving to a competitor but no telling whether that’s a short term-gain for a longer term hit.

I honestly struggle with the politics of Afghanistan. It does appear that after 20 years we leave and within months it goes back to very similar or on its way. It’s not the US job to be the world police we did try to build coalitions and fail at the end of the day unless we’re willing to keep troops there forever which most Americans don’t want to I am not sure what the right thing to do is. And I’m sick of criticism just for the sake of the president. I don’t think there’s a perfect solution
