I am a DS with 2YOE (plus about 6 coops). I’m looking for feedback from folks specifically transitioned out of early career and into mid-career phase. (Unfortunately I don’t have any in my immediate network)<\/p>\n
Context: I’m coming upto 2 years in my role and have been seriously evaluating the next stage of my career.<\/p>\n
Questions: 1. Does having a decent resume land you your next role, or even for a mid-level role do you need to network extensively i.e. what’s the most optimal method for this stage of career progression.<\/p>\n
Most of the work I’ve done so far has been POC-based i.e. we find business problems and work with teams to create MVPs. Its been an interesting experience as I get to experiment with different methods and almost derive the solution from scratch, without having to worry too much about MLE\/MLOps. Does this kind of work exist at this next Intermediate level? And will this kind of role even exist into the future?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
How do you decide between being able to climb up the ladder in your current company? Or switch to a different industry, maybe one that aligns more with your passion\/interests, but also risk losing all of that “capital” you’ve invested into in the current company?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Apologies if this is a bit all over the place, but it was a little tough getting my thoughts across.<\/p>\n
Also would love if anyone is down to discuss more in detail on dm, if that’s preferred.<\/p>\n
Thanks a lot!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
