Can't get an interview data science
I have 2+ years experience working with ML, Neural Networks, NLP, and python development and am pursuing a masters in CS with a bachelors in M Eng. Been applying for 6 months and have gotten a few non-technical phone interviews but haven't gotten a single in person. Applying in NY, CT, and PHL. Every time I get rejected after a phone interview since they decided to go with a candidate with more experience. I'm making 60k TC working 60 hour weeks + grad school and it's fucking kill me. What do I do?
Apply at Slice. They’ll hire anyone with a pulse
Leetcode and go into SWE. Don't need grad school and pay's better too
I'll gladly do SWE but I'm only proficient in Python for now. Also I love ML and AI and want to do that later in my career. How do I transition to SWE?
Come to the SF Bay Area

The problem is location. Come to Bay Area. High TC negates the high COL
Most DS at Amazon are PhDs, I think that is what they mean when they say not enough experience.
How many applications did you send out? I have 0 YoE, so I sent out 100 applications. Got two solid offers. Maybe your resume+ cover letter have issues and hence not converting. Try fixing that first.
What do you have on your resume?
I don't think interviewing is the issue. I've only gotten 3 interviews and I think they went well I just get the feedback that I don't have enough experience.
