I currently have a data science position at Citi, but am interviewing with Facebook for a data science position. I'd like to get out of finance and I know Facebook has a large network of data scientists and data engineers, which would be a great environment to work in (assuming), but the data scientist role seems to be more of an analyst position (SQL reporting, A/B testing) and less of a data science role (predictive modelling, ML), which I have the ability to do in my current role. Should I make the switch, if offered? Any Facebook data scientists who would disagree with my (naive) evaluation of the role?

learn2write first. them paragraphs. thank me later.
TC and YOE?
TC at Citi is 130k base + ~15k-30k bonus (plus 401k, health, etc.). YOE in data science = 2 years. Based on what I've seen online, I think FB would have about the same base comp. I'm applying for a recent grad role, because I finished a master's less than 9 months ago (it's an FB policy).
Are you in BayArea? Seems low for BayArea
Get the offer first then worried about it
Hi! Are you still with Citi? I've applied for a DS position and have few questions!
did you end up joining FB?
Avoid Facebook if you care about WLB
