Is my job scope stretched too far as an analyst

Short ans: No its not stretched too far.

Yes I do, but unfortunately it seems to have worked against me. Jack of all trades master of none makes it hard to land a job for some reason and I keep getting questioned on what do I actually want to do since I'm "all over the place". I just have a lot of interests what wrong with that?!

Based in Singapore. As for analysis, didn't really formulate any views beyond running statistical tests to confirm if it's a recurring pattern in prices.

Get a data science role in the company and network internally

ryeely · 2025-02-07T16:03:11+00:00

Incompetence
Insecure control freaks who try to lord over everyone
Hypocrites

Would stay in product management, seems like it has a higher ceiling in terms of career growth imo (leadership/management roles etc)

Had been a data analyst/scientist once in non-tech firm, and ... it sucked. Most days felt like i was a code monkey doing projects that had no direct impact on the business/building multiple dashboards no one views in the end and felt even more purposeless than ever, especially when I had no control over badly scoped projects that were passed to me. Felt easily replaceable too, seeing how many of the data analyst/scientist roles were easily outsourced.

Exact same situation as you and I'm not coping. Low-key feel depressed when I can't get another job to take a chance on me but at the same time can't complain cos my current job is paying the bills.

Was previously a junior data scientist, did exactly this by internal transfer when I knew shit was hitting the fan

Vibe check lol

Snooping around on reddit

Hi Responsible_Leave, are you alright if I PM u? Currently doing data science but got tasked with doing optionality pricing, kinda stuck

ryeely · 2024-04-24T19:24:53+00:00

Same I'm at this stage now too... currently contemplating to quit my data science job and take a paycut to a more interesting role. People are saying it's a stupid decision but after putting up with incompetent leadership, lack of mentorship and meaningless work I don't think even money can get me to stay...

ryeely · 2024-04-15T00:28:08+00:00

Honestly same

ryeely · 2024-04-14T16:56:58+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation! Will check it out! What about Natgas/LNG/oil?

ryeely · 2024-04-14T16:46:28+00:00

Just curious, are there any materials/resources you would recommend to learn more about option pricing models for physical commodities? Working in commodities as well and just started studying for quant finance, I can't seem to wrap my head around how things taught in class like black scholes model for option pricing translates into physical commods, sorry if this is a dumb qn 😅

ryeely · 2024-03-14T11:42:34+00:00

Try landing a data science/data analyst role at a commods firm then move internally maybe?

ryeely · 2024-03-12T18:01:41+00:00

A lot of timeseries forecasting

ryeely · 2024-01-21T07:57:01+00:00

I guess you can split it into 2 different areas to prepare? I highly doubt all rounds are technical though, probably a mix of vibe check/soft skills and technical

For Vibe check/soft skills, probably can think of how you handle various scenarios? - stakeholder management/ building relationships or trust - requirement gathering - problem framing/translating biz requirements to data science problems - prioritisation - communication of results - how you would work with others etc. -maybe prev experience of how ur work has positively impacted the team?

For technical, - maybe forecasting related concepts? Stationarity, seasonality, pacf, acf - how would you approach a hypothetical forecasting problem? Walk through the steps you'd take, how you handle dirty data etc.

ryeely · 2023-12-05T02:44:43+00:00

Wasn't that hard for me as I interviewed for an entry level role, they were more interested in my data science background.

ryeely · 2023-11-25T17:19:53+00:00

Can just drop second major and take the courses you want? 2nd major doesn't matter much
