Looking for a role in Machine Learning or as a Data Scientist.

Hi, I am working as an intern and looking for a new role in Machine Learning or data science. I an very much passionate about this field and always take out time to study about it. The problem is, because I do not have a PhD, the opportunities are limited. Can someone help me which companies to target and where to look for? Thanks

I heard Airbnb has a great program to help with internal learning instead of looking outside for phds

For ML Engineer, PhD is not required. But you need to have some experience with large-scale data system, either computing or storage .

I have some experience, I have learnt to manage data during my internship and also through projects in my university.

Could you name some technologies you learnt? And how deep do you understand these technologies?

I heard rumor that Optum health in MN was hiring more than 50 data scientists over the next year.

Yes Optum has a ton of DS positions opening up. It’s good to get involved in the local meetup scene where you can meet others who already work there. I️ also saw that Capital One in NY has close to 40 positions open (all with varying levels of seniority).

I just saw a job with Humana for this exact thing!

Can you recommend me there?

there's no spot in the online application for a recommendation, but since it's such a specific niche with lots of technical requirements, you shouldn't have tons of competition.
