What happens when most of your team is Indian?
Got approached by recruiter for DS position at QB. What are the levels and their comp ranges? Couldn't find reliable data. Currently Sr. DS with 4 yoe. TC: 198
Factor in the hourly rate difference.
4 yoe and Sr ds Something didn't add up until you mentioned PhD. Are you in your late 20s or early 30s?
Early 40s. DS was a career pivot. Have 10+ year industry experience post PhD (including 4 yr DS experience)
Not really, there are people in l4-l5 with 4 yoe + masters
Also QB will place you in different levels and this pay bands based on your interview performance
How high do the bands go?
No idea I used a calculator and failed my second round
How’s the interview for Quantumblack and Bcg gamma. Are there leetcode type questions in addition to the cases? I went to a recruiting session but it was more about the day to day.
Went to a recruiting event in Europe yesterday for QB. Asked a recent hire there about there exp and prep. Mid level leetcode prep for a data engineer, probs the same for a DS.
Thanks, so DS positions usually ask leetcode too?
MS or PhD? If you come in at entry level I believe it’s 170-180k TC. If it’s a step higher I’d assume it’s more like 225k. QB DS salaries are pegged to generalist salary so that is Associate (post MBA) level.
PhD. Any idea what the WLB is like? Doesnt seem worth to jump for 13% bump.
I’d expect at least 50 average, quite possibly more like 60. Junior salaries are not meant to be competitive in consulting. Significant part of the appeal is exit opportunities or partnership $$$$. If you don’t enjoy consulting and already can get good exit opps, this might be a skip for you
