Is there such a thing as going client-side too quick? Overall benefits seem way better but worried it might stunt my growth (i.e. less responsibilities, more menial tasks)

it depends on a couple of things.

1) what kind of analyst are you ? data analyst [analytics] ? search analyst ? research analyst ?

2) what are you trying to learn ? what’s your end goal ?

I started my career client side, 11 years in the agency world, now back client side.

Depends a little on the business - I’m at a large ecom site where the analytics team is 30+ - no shortage of room for growth on my team. most of the team started in entry positions - a few as interns. I’m the only one with an agency background.

I will say - at the more senior levels client side - am MBA or Masters is very common.

"Too quick," as in thats the inevitable path? Just a matter of time?

Going client side is most likely the end, creativity wise. More security for no more variation and fun, thats the deal. So if youre ready for that...if that sounds good....maybe youre already a client in your heart....

Hello fishes, recently I have received the job offers from Akamai & Nasdaq with kind of equivalent pay. I've an experience of 2.7 yrs in Java Backend. In Nasdaq, I feel the project is slightly on better side and also domain driven in comparison of Akamai. The only thing that is troubling me is 90 days notice policy in Nasdaq. Just want to check if it's a bad thing or would it still be worthy against the project & domain.
