I am looking to make a transition to Data Science/Commercial Analytics role in the pharma manufacturer space. Was hoping to get some referrals from the blind community. YoE : 6 TC : 250k #referral #healthcare
I have a Sr Data Analyst offer (90k base, discretionary bonus, $10k signing) from a firearm manufacturer and I am curious if Blind thinks that it might hurt future chances at FAANG as they are typically left leaning. Worried if I take it that I risk closing doors.
