As you see, i am at a mediocre company working as a data scientist, and for some complex reason I cleared all of interviews for solutions consultant position at Google (gTech). I heard a lot of mixed things about this position. Basically, this is a lamed project manager role... I wonder if the position is worth of giving up data scientist title? My current base is actually 20k higher than the estimated base for solutions consultant according to my recruiter...

I did not, and can not, see that you are at a mediocre company.

Sounds like a potentially poor fit from a roles and responsibilities point of view. You are not only giving up the DS title, but maybe more importantly taking on different type of work, and sounds like work that’s less desirable to you. If you want to get into Google and then transfer to a DS or product analyst role, this may be worth considering. I’m assuming TC is good even though base is lower, which is normal.

Thank you for your advice. Definitely will do. You sound like a Google recruiter!

The only thing I can think of is a promotion ie from DS to Sr. DS, that can be earned with a potential Google offer. If I am going for that route, I will continue pursuing a DS path... Otherwise, not really any development recently since the company is very laidback

When I moved in-house a year ago as a BigLaw mid-level, I took a 45% pay cut, far more than I was comfortable with (although I was fine with a 20-30% cut). I took the job because it was a great role and I was focused on making the jump in house and developing the skills I wanted, which required me moving away from my firm practice area. Now that my year-end review is coming up, how do I ask my company for a significant pay raise (not just a 2-5% inflation-matching raise)?

Does the recruiter typically wait for all candidates to finish their onsites before communicating a decision? Or if I haven’t heard back yet, it’s probably a reject?
