Is Data Scientist at Deloitte a good move if my goal is short-term experience building (2-3 yrs) while looking for another move to a better WLB company?

4 YOE in Analytics, but feel like I've missed out on certain soft skills (ex: prioritizing, presenting, managing client expectations, etc) not being in a consulting role + I've plateau'd with basic analytics hence the move for DS.

My end goal is to get to a true Director/VP leadership role in Analytics (200k+). Collect $5MM in retirement funds, then do side-hustle consulting jobs when I feel like working till I totally retire all-together.

I like the idea of being a people leader and making an impact through data analysis. Past 4 years I got really good experience in a variety of work, so I crossed data engineering off my list. The reason for consulting is im usually hand-fed work and not taught to hunt.

Hey OP - genuinely curious. If your tech skills outweigh your soft skills why not gear towards big tech route. That comp will be what your goal comp is and would allow you to get to your retirement goal $ sooner.

Unless you truly just want to be in a leadership position then go for it!

Sounds like it'll hit the skills you want to build up exactly. Solid plan if that's the priority.

I'd also look into solution architect positions at data companies. And of course try to get more consulting company options in the mix.

What's your long term career plan?

For B4 - For teams with temp (contractor) seniors - I’ve noted that they are held to the same work quality standards of normal full time seniors, while not getting any of the senior trainings or perks that would go with that perm role (just some basic survivals trainings at best), nor the access to the perm positions once they prove they can do the job. Then heard they are viewed as little higher than outsource teams (i.e., the offshore teams only given non-judgmental work). What’s your opinion?
