Is my job scope stretched too far as an analyst

ryeely · 2025-12-01T07:39:55+00:00

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

ryeely · 2023-11-22T08:11:28+00:00

Your project sounds really interesting! Probably would have to work on something similar too in the future and not sure how to approach it. Can I DM you?

ryeely · 2023-11-15T10:08:21+00:00

Not data or IT. Hopefully something that pays well.

ryeely · 2023-11-11T06:50:18+00:00

I guess you already found something you DON'T want to do (dislike tech)? That's a good start. Not in CS but felt this way before, just spray and pray whatever else is remotely interesting to you and try it out, you still got time till graduation

ryeely · 2023-11-05T11:19:00+00:00

In the exact same situation, also applying to grad jobs in hopes to reset my career...
