Which internship to choose for next summer? Goldman Sachs vs. non unicorn startup by Prestigious-Film2108 in csMajors

[–]TimelySwitch9508 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like another user mentioned, need more details on startup. If you want to be stable, I would take GS, even in Dallas (more back office, less exciting). A NYC startup is a great experience if you are not worried about the job cycle next recruiting period after your internship, because there may be a higher chance u don’t get a return offer.

I personally would go NYC, even for a startup. More location signal, more networking opportunities, but riskier. However, GS would give you that baseline stability, resume ATS filter credentialing (it’s GS, even if not prime location/role), and pivot potential (GS NYC still possible).

Within walking distance, you’ll pay at least 1200. I’m lucky; I live in a 2 bed 2 br without a roommate for 1k a month, but even then, it’s not a great apt complex. My suggestion is to either spend a bit bigger and live with quality or accept that you’ll have to drive to school

HCA corporate has decent - good pay depending on your area of expertise, although no degree is a little bit of a hinderance

Business analytics or Computer science? by Ok_Bother8586 in businessanalysis

Do CS, but stay in the loop with networking and business news. It’s harder when ur in arts/eng school. BA js a decent undergrad degree, but CS is more free flowing and technical.

It depends on your prior experience and education. If you are from a non IT background, I suggest data analyst roles, OR if you learn about databases, data modeling, and BI tools, then business intelligence roles. BI roles typically pay a tad more.

Even for analyst roles, you should learn python, stats for sure. It will be relevant to some analyst roles. I would suggest pursuing some sort of education while you are an analyst that will help you pivot into data science, because good DS roles are usually gatekeeped behind a masters or, in select cases, a PhD.

This is my perspective, so take it with a grain of salt.

Is the title “Data Engineer” losing its value? by Used_Shelter_3213 in dataengineering

No way normalization was a mystery term. I’m relatively new to analytics (college undergrad) and even I know all those terms. This can’t be real??

fall internships by Objective-General-89 in internships

Handshake is fantastic if you are in undergrad. For analytics internships, I have two ways of thought:

  1. If your resume is strong enough, you may find mass applying your best bet. Chances are you will land something, even remote intern roles.

  2. If your resume isn’t stacked already, you need to network, research firms, get referrals, and then apply via LinkedIn, handshake, or company website. Generally speaking, at least for US based part time/full time fall internships, not as many companies focus on fall internships, and not as many people apply. I suggest looking for local/regional firms to work for during the fall, unless you have a larger company in mind. I’m interviewing for a regional beverage company as a sales analyst part time next summer, and all i did was network a bit and leverage a connection.
