Hi,
Hope for the help from the community - will appreciate the input.
I am a DS at Capital One Richmond, management (read: non-programming) position with several good DS reports. I am capable of catching up quickly on programming - know all the DS details/analyses, just my team is good and does all the programming while I deal with higher-level directional stuff. Have 10YoE, TC $210.
Three questions
1. Is the TC too low for YoE (I think so, but would be great to get a read from the community)?
2. What resources would you recommend for practicing DS? I am currently spending all my spare time on Python Data Science Handbook (online version) and Kaggle.
3. What close areas (e.g., SWE) can give a significant bump in TC? Would this be an option? Any personal stories one can share, positive or negative?
I am just trying to maximize my net worth while having an interesting job, nothing else.
Thanks a lot!

While skill development helped but I think it’s important to put yourself in the market. That’s the best indicator of your worth and gaps in your skill set. When I was interviewing, no one bothered about my degree, Kaggle, blog etc. So based on my experience, my strong recco is to start talking to companies sooner than later
You can probably bump to 300k+ by moving to NYC or SF, but note that the cost of living will increase as well.
210K at Richmond is really good. Better than 400K at SF
