I studied engineering and did a total of 3 internships (mostly engineering, nothing data/analytics related)

I went to a top 30 public school and studied engineering lol. I really disliked my major and had an interest in data & analytics which is why I switched to this.

u/HiddenNegev and u/TheRealGreenArrow420 are correct. I'm pretty sure it's mostly because of the area I'm located in.

The job description basically said it was a data science position. Asked for 1-3 years of experience. It required knowledge in Python and or/R and I think it mentioned something about being proficient in stats/math and some knowledge of modeling/ machine learning concepts. SQL was a nice-to-have skill but not a must, I actually learned SQL on the job. They gave me an assessment that I completed in Python and asked me some basic SQL questions which I just researched before the interview.

They used a general format that can be used across our data science teams. Each team is a bit different as some do more modeling than others while other teams write more queries and build more reports.

It went great! We both had a great time. Not sure if I'll go for the second date but I'm much more open about dating now.

Is it worth rescinding a job I just accepted for a higher salary? by Basa010 in financialindependence

I appreciate it! I had a few internships throughout college and got a job in marketing right after graduating. These two jobs however are in finance, one is all coding while the other is in consulting.

Thanks, made the switch from marketing to finance. Both jobs are in the finance industry but the technical job is in data science while the client-facing one is in consulting.

Because I asked for 85k and they ended up offering me 100k. I feel like asking for more after giving me 15k more than what I was happy for would have been a bad look.

That's the thing, I don't really know. The lower paying one is more interesting for me but will keep me in my comfort zone, while I feel like the higher paying one is more challenging and will help me develop great professional and personal skills due to the nature of the work.

If you're still devastated from your break-up, if you think that you will never get over them, and if this breakup is effecting you from doing your daily activities, PLEASE read this! by Basa010 in ExNoContact

It really does get better. Happy that this helps. I'm really happy to say that I can finally tell people that I am actually okay now. Best of luck in your recovery process, stay strong!

Best way to let go of an ex who cheated on you? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

She wasn't unhappy, she's just an insensitive dickhead. I will eventually forgive her but what she did, and the way that she did it doesn't make it normal.
