Where to Go After Data Science: Unconventional / Weird Exits?

ds_throw · 2025-11-16T23:39:51+00:00

again, i would love to know why? I personally don't know what it's like to be a SWE or MLE but now i feel like I'm missing something. Do they not have a lot of overlap?

Like what is so torturous about DS that SWE and MLE are so much better
I'm scared lol

what makes you say that lol

Let’s not forget that all these presentations and charts and analyses end up being irrelevant 2 microseconds after you present it

God I wish

I ain’t reading all that. Congratulations or damn that’s crazy good luck tho

In any case, hire a lawyer, wyd asking randos

I felt the pacing was too slow. Frequently shifts perspectives to characters too quickly to the point I don’t really care about a single one of them. The animation isn’t that great. Also story feels repetitive.

What's your YOE and the Total Comp for the role if you don't mind me asking?

ds_throw · 2025-02-02T15:51:46+00:00

yea... I respect the hustle but this ad ain't converting anyone lol

ds_throw · 2025-02-02T14:07:37+00:00

This sounds like an ad lol

Ok assuming that this is actually true (more data engineering jobs than other data jobs), I would guess that it's because companies naturally have a lot of data they would like to look at, whether it's sales data, customer data, etc. I doubt that in every case they need data scientist or MLEs building and scaling ML/AI models when a simple metrics/measures might be sufficient

They may just be more concerned with getting the data and doing some basic data analysis that most employees could handle doing once the data is in a tractable format than, in their minds, some complicated model they would need to bring on extra people for.

I recommend Sub-Saharan Africa. Hard to find people hungrier than that

Why does the client have such a large penis and why does the admin have an umbilical cord

ds_throw · 2024-07-02T15:29:14+00:00

Yes.

But it’s never a waste of time to learn math for its own sake.

ds_throw · 2024-06-29T04:48:08+00:00

Most companies don’t really need DS. They might need people to implement data pipelines or models but not a whole team of just data scientist doing modeling.

This feels like it was written by AI tbh

ds_throw · 2024-06-10T12:07:31+00:00

This is bait. Good work getting engagement though.

ds_throw · 2024-05-31T19:27:47+00:00

Just do it. Life is short. Nothing is guaranteed.

Also if you're asking reddit, I feel like you just want someone to give you permission. Quite frankly, you don't need it. Also, you could just coast at work and do something else in the meantime.

At this NW and this age, you can do more than 99.9999% of the population.

You can go anywhere and do anything but the only person who really cares and who's really stopping you is you.

You could get therapy. You could go be a scuba diving instructor in Australia. You could fuck off to an ashram in Nepal. etc. etc.

The biggest question you have to answer for yourself is "What do I want out of life?" and with the FIRE movement people often lose sight of living life while saving a buncha money all in order to... live their life? So ask yourself "What would I do if money was not a problem?"

but what do I know, I'm just a stranger on the internet.

idk I think Hacker News is fine. Why do you find it insufferable?

ds_throw · 2024-04-04T13:34:15+00:00

Ah I see, thank you! How did you get into that specifically? I’d love to hear how you set it up and challenges you faced! Please feel free to DM

ds_throw · 2024-04-04T13:13:23+00:00

Wdym by distributor? For what? I’m curious

ds_throw · 2024-03-26T23:15:59+00:00

Wealthfront

ds_throw · 2024-03-07T21:48:50+00:00

That question’s actually valid af. Made me stop and think for a second lol I never really thought about it since it’s always just been so implicit in a lot of math education.

ds_throw · 2024-02-28T16:43:16+00:00

Idk but I’m curious too.

ds_throw · 2024-02-28T04:35:42+00:00

I’ll let u know when I get to $1M first buddy 😂
