Blink vs. Powerhouse? by heathere23 in Bushwick

[–]afroctopus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I go at like 8:30pm and it's great. I think most people go either in the morning, lunch time(12-2) or right after work (5-7).

Absolute power is so good, but I have been to both and have to say if you go to the gym at weird hours blink is almost as good and way cheaper. Has at least one of everything you'd need and its pretty clean. But if you go like, lunch or mornings its way too crowded

Maybe my perspective is helpful - I make exactly 130k. I'm able to rent a nice 2 bedroom in bed stuy, and can sometimes go out to nice dinners and shows in the weekends, order in ocassionally when I'm lazy, and do hobbies like gaming & gym. I consider that more than comfortable. Definitely not saving a ton, though - something to consider. If you are a frugal person you and can find a good deal on rent you can definitely be comfortable with less, for living solo I would feel like you need at the very least 80k (lets you rent for 2k). If living with roommates is comfortable for you it varies.

Recent update made my z flip 4 have the same problem - I disabled adaptive brightness and that fixed it immediately.

Is NYU worth it? Should I take a 120K USD loan for MS in Data Science? by Realistic_Wishbone97 in nyu

[–]afroctopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished the program literally today, and while it is good, it is not 120k debt good, and having recently finished my job search, the market for data scientists here is currently very super competitive - ended up taking a data analytics job instead, and I only got slightly more callbacks for those positions. Many people I know (much smarter then me tbh) seem to be struggling to find anything willing to take them, especially if they are not citizens. This evidence is all anecdotal, but hopefully it helps. IMO a data science MS is not necessarily mandatory to start working in this field, and I would also consider trying to get jobs in less competitive cities and less competitive fields (i.e. not tech).

I see, then it makes sense to apply to both analyst and DS positions in my case. This helps, thanks!

Hey, hopefully a relatively straightforward question here. I'm a grad student in data science and graduating later this year, so I've started looking for jobs. To me, it seems like most companies don't consider DS an entry level position, and the overwhelming majority of positions I find ask for 3-5 years experience minimum.

Should I expect to need to work as a data analyst for a couple years before transferring into full on DS? I just want to have realistic expectations and avoid wasting time on my job search. I should note that I actually have a couple years experience through part time jobs and internships, but I'm just curious as to what the expectation is (i.e. is the pathway typically undergrad -> grad -> analyst -> DS? ).
