My wife has a background in BI and Analytics. She has managed delivery teams before. She had to leave her Job and during her break she studied Data Science and performed excepiontally well in Kaggle competitions. She is great at deep learning with R and TensorFlow+Keras. She wants to apply for a job in Amazon either as a SDM or TPM. Which one will be easier for her? given that she has real company experience with old BI and Analytics (Teradata, Oracle BI) and Data Science experience (on her own). Does she have any chance?
Ds @Amzn — 1 y— TPM — 2 to 4 y — SDM Promo required if not starting at L6 DS/Analyst/BIE
@thealpha, What level is an Amazon data science manager?
@OP, is there a leetcode equivalent for data science stream?
Kaggle
The data science on her own would not be counted much. She can try to get in as a DS, I doubt manager though.
I have heard that Amazon and other big companies only hire PHDs when it come to DS role. Can you confirm if a non-phd has any chance to enter into a DS role?
Strong non-PhD's can be hired in theory, but there are enough strong PhD's that even there's competition among them. I have seen non PhD DS on the business teams, not core DS though.

Sure. But she needs to know how to develop software, not just queries and configurations presented in reports or other visualization software. TPM would be a good stepping stone to SDM
Thanks. yes she is not into software development. She has always been into data warehousing type of projects (ETL, Queries etc). I think she will have to prepare a lot on system design and SDLC.
