Where are good companies to apply for to get into data science? My offer right now for data science in the big4 is only 66k and I definitely can’t go that low. Industrial engineering background with experience in analytics.

I think there's a lot of startups that might be worth looking into...but personally, I would go for the big 4 first and then exit out

Data science job descriptions tend to vary a lot. I would say compensation depends on what skill you know. 60k definitely sounds like lower end of the spectrum and is probably more of a business analyst job and assuming it doesn't expect you to know any programming language. It would be helpful if you share what you know and your experience.

Agree that you should probably aim for a smaller companies to start out. Get yourself a portfolio of awesome things you have built, put as much as you can on GitHub, maybe meet some people, and go back out on the market again.

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?

Hi All, I am currently a Data Analyst with 1 year of experience and pursuing a masters in Computer Science (expected to graduate 5/2023). I am looking to transition into an entry Data Scientist role (preferably remote or Philadelphia, PA). Can someone refer me or let me know who is hiring?

I can provide my resume if needed.

I have a bad habit of giving too much background info and not getting straight to the point. I just feel like every little detail is important (even though that’s not always the case).
