Starting off as a Project Manager for Analytics/Data Science projects after a Masters in Analytics. I was hoping to work as a Data Analyst though, with more focus on tech skills. Anyway- if in future I want to be moving into more tech focused roles, what should my path look like? I am quite good with Sql and Python, fairly decent with ML, so is Data Eng a viable option?

Just make them change the title to Technical PM/PgM and take a more hands-on role with your team. The PM/PgM track is more of a management track than a technical track for sure though. You should note this in your professional development plan (or get another job as a Data Analyst/Scientist/Engineer).

Thank you, I really appreciate the advice. Not sure if it makes a difference, but I work at a consulting firm/IT services firm, and I have only ever worked at consulting- before the Master's .

Hi guys,

I need an advice/suggestion here. I got an offer from 2 different organisations and choose one among them (Role: Analyst) because of the culture and benefits.

I feel like I have settled down for a lower package and a lower designation. Is there anything that I can do in the current organisation that I’ve joined at a week back
