I have worked as a data scientist for 5 years now. I have reached the senior level with a TC equivalent of 120 k$. I love my job but I resent the fast paced, no pause robotic Agile sprint culture, the stakeholders who have never ending demands, and the horrific long hours, from 8:30 to 9 pm everyday. I am ready to make a change. Is there a way to still work as a data scientist but with more a 9 to 5 job. Or is it impossible?
Find a DS job with 20 hours a week and double the TC
You need to give your customers better expectation and push back more instead of doing literally everything
Yes you absolutely can work 9-5 and make well over 120K. Start interviewing!!
I think you’re overworked and underpaid if this is Bay Area But then again, gaming companies pay the lowest ..
this is a workplace thing not a DS thing. my current job is super chill, with better WLB than most tech contributors i know. my job before Amazon was crazy stressful with long hours and annoying PMs that called meetings for no reason constantly. stress halved and comp doubled when i got hired at Amazon
slack off at work and get a job where you're paid what you're worth. That TC is bad for a 'senior analyst' let alone 'senior data scientist' and you are getting taken advantage of.
