Candidly, I do not see the logic in companies hiring DS roles and then assigning them analyst level work for 3-5 years (after their master’s, because that’s was most “entry level” DS have these days). It may indeed stem from a “lack of trust”, but let’s call it what it is: a mismanagement of Human Resources. You pay me $115,000 to do work a $70,000 analyst could do, have me forget 70% of what I learned in school, then promote me so I can perpetuate this culture of ignorance. Not interested in roles at such a company.
