Not to demotivate anyone but joined Nielsen last week.
As a data engineer, they told initially work on java and spark and aws which indeed is there. I thought it will adventurous.

But seems like it's overwhelming as I come from service based company along with azure experience.

I have 5 yoe. Finding it tough to cope up with java.

Also the codebase seems to be big.

My prev exp mostly on azure and databricks limited one on databricks.

I left many higher offer please guide

If anyone can please share their insights

I also got selected for nielsen waiting for offer, can they give 30lpa to 3.5 exp candidate?

Also, seeing your condition, are there any positives you see that is worthing staying there or you want to leave asap? What about company culture, manager and everything, because from the outside i can see many positives : good reputed company, product based, lot of learning, highly intellogent folks, i know folks from visa, microsoft have also joined recently.

But i also know many of them are already complaining a lot regarding it not being mainstream data engineering tech stack wise and intense.

What is the CTC did Nielsen offered you now

Don't be disheartened. Indeed the code base is quite large. Keep seeking help whenever required, do lots of chatgpt. Create a list of functions and variables in your free time in google sheet coz they expecting deliverables after 8 weeks.

So the project involves a lot of legacy support & maintanence rather than developments?

They give you data scientist role and make you work as a Data Engineer.

Vice versa

Hi I got an offer from Nielsen media as a data scientist, can you please share your experience?

Looking for advice on career change. I’m a 45 year old single mom - I’ve been at my job for 18 years. I know I could be doing more. The job isn’t fulfilling and the workplace is rather toxic. The pay is pretty good - when I look at other open positions in my field / the pay is much less or the same. Honestly just unsure of what I “want” to do. Stay where I am and get a side hustle that may be fulfilling or change careers altogether. I’m a placement coordinator at a home care agency.

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago.

Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?
