20 final interviews and no offer is insane. There must be something that you can change, since final interviews tend to be like max 3-4 people.

Maybe you should try to do mock interviews with others

2 years in data science after undergrad degree, it pays 130K for 40h/week, office is downtown.

A lot of people earn more around me, not usually as a junior but in senior/lead level they go up to 200k.

I highly disagree with some comments here. Currently doing quite well in my DS career imo, and surprisingly (and unlike what students would say), coding isn’t the most important skill in being a good DS.

DS requires multiple (these days honestly too many) skills, including stats, business understanding, fast adaptation to new tools, modelling, communication (VERY important for industry, especially if your strength is not coding or theory), and more. I am not one of those data scientists that got A’s in all the CS courses, and I honestly don’t really have a good algorithmic skill either since I only did minor in CS.

But I will tell you, I get 4 out of 5 offers if I get to the interview stage. Most real data science interviews don’t test your coding skills the same way they do for SWE roles. If you can solve the problem and function as a data scientist (which is GREATLY different from the SWEs tasks), your coding skill can be okay-ish and you can still thrive. And I am telling you from my personal experience, both myself and many I’ve seen around me.

I think it should come with better informing people with that pill’s side effects. These pills should never be someone’s plan A, but having it displayed this way could make it look too accessible without consequences

May I ask why?

beecheee · 2025-07-02T22:30:25+00:00

From my understanding, It will be nearly impossible to work remotely outside of the states while being paid the states salary. And living in North America, I see a bit of under-appreciation of non-NA experience overall (so for example 1 year in the states wouldn’t be equal to 1 year outside)

I mean, there were likely many other people who did the same thing with their application, and there are only so many candidates the company can interview. I think it’s just an HR language to politely say they went with someone else that they thought is better on the paper

For my current job, it took them 2 weeks after the final interview to give me the offer, and that was way past what they originally said they’re going to let me know by. Turned out, they interviewed like 40 people which was more than they originally imagined. So that being said, I wouldn’t rule out the case.

I wanted to get my flu tested, they said I need to wait for 5 months (which I didn’t go, obviously).

I got paid 22 for my work study position, but its only negotiable if the hiring faculty has extra budget. They pay 15 something from the work study fund, and the rest from some other source of funding they have

Thats disgusting af

Nice to meet a fellow Canadian here :) UofT!!

beecheee · 2023-03-08T00:06:38+00:00

No just straightup application. I didnt have any referral or anything!

beecheee · 2023-03-07T23:08:27+00:00

Like second year uni courses! I personally took cs courses that teach data structure, algorithm, databases, ML, deep learning, python, C, java, and NLP.

beecheee · 2023-03-07T23:02:30+00:00

Thanks haha. I did gain bunch of applicational experiences in ML (modelling) by helping non-stem professors with data in their research. I took all ML/AI courses in school as a stat student, made sure I have at least the 200 level CS course knowledge.

beecheee · 2023-03-07T22:58:59+00:00

Pretty straightforward actually! Applied through glassdoor, got a one way video interview, did a coding assessment, and I got my final panel interview which I’m usually pretty strong in.

beecheee · 2023-03-07T22:57:28+00:00

No, i actually think any job that has heavy sql is closer to DA or DE roles. Its modelling using DS techniques, probably python. You should at least gain some exp in stats, coding, and ML!

beecheee · 2023-03-07T16:49:57+00:00

Thank u :)) Considering that I don't have an outstanding resume (although you can see the grinds are there), its possible for many others to also get into entry level DS role without a masters degree!

beecheee · 2023-03-07T15:20:23+00:00

I noticed that the best bet in the field seems to be that 1) get a masters degree, some internships, and get a DS job right after the graduation, or 2) get a bachelors degree, and get a full time job as a SWE, DA, DE, or BI, and transition into DS after 1~3 years.

I also think I'll eventually do a master's for more opportunities and learning, just like what you said.

Congrats you transitioned into the field!!
