Not bad to take a contract role to develop yourself and gain experience immediately if you need to start earning immediately

You’ve got a good degree from a great school with a solid major, you’ll find something soon

I’m a DA and recent college grad (May 2019). BuiltInLA (there’s a “BuiltIn” for most major cities I think) was my go to for my 1st few interviews. There’s a whole section for data roles and there were really great companies listed. I’d try that! Tip: previous exp and side projects are all the recruiters I spoke too seemed to care about so highlight those as well as you can.

Flagged by the community.

Thank you so much! I've looked into roles at Yelp, would I be able to pick your brain regarding them?
