Posting for a friend who doesn’t use Blind. She needs advice on choosing a company. ==================================== In her own words: I am new grad aspiring to become a Data Scientist. I’ve got two offers so far, both not a data scientist role. Since I am on a F-1 visa I must choose one of these companies before my OPT starts. I have heard mixed reviews for both. I have laid out all the data points that I know and that I collected from different sources. My situation: As a new grad, I want to grow and learn but at the same time I want to have good work life balance and stay with my husband in a different state. I feel like I am not getting both of those together in either company. I am very confused on which one to choose. Please advice. - Goldman Sachs/ Business Intelligence Analyst Base: $90k Bonus: discretionary, people say ($20k-$30k) Stock: N/A Sign-on: N/A Over Time: depends (# hours*0.5*hourly rate) Location: Salt Lake City 30 miles to work one way. (30-45mins) No unlimited PTO No Remote work Bad work life balance (50-60 hours) 10 member team Tech stack they use: SQL, Tableau, Alteryx, Python, a few data science algorithms Cross functional teams: Software engineering teams, data scientist teams, ML teams - Ancestry/ Business Performance Analyst Base: $90k Bonus: 8% Stock: $22.5/3 years Sign-on: $10k Over time: N/A Location: Salt Lake City 5 mins drive unlimited PTO Remote work or Work at Office (Flexible) Great work life balance, very laid back 3 member team Tech stack they use: SQL, Tableau This teams job is to produce financial reports for the board every month/bi weekly (not sure). The reports generally have visualizations and charts on how the company is doing financially. Personal feeling is that Goldman will help to get my next gig as a data scientist where as Ancestry will give me the work life balance, the freedom to work while I am with my husband. I don’t have very many friends in Utah. ==================================== Please comment as well. Comments help understand others perspective. Thank you very much! #dataanalytics #datascience #businessintelligence #businessanalyst #goldman #goldmansachs #ancestry #saltlakecity #utah #career #advice
If long term and GS is better, then you should go with that IMHO. If you two were meant to be he would understand I would think. After all it doesn’t mean you’ll stay with either forever right?

You are not going to like what I say ...
You will work with more interesting data sets at Ancestry.
