Are you vaccinated?

I'm a geologist transitioning to tech rn, good luck anon

>>53025255
sounds like a good job for you anon, you'll start at 60k and you'll be happy
>>53025268
2 more weeks!

>>53025324
Thanks. Tech seems to be the smart guy backup plan.

>>53025340
>60k starting meme

>>53025255
I must be a fucking retard because I can code, make code tools for my current job, run data ops for my team, and make $40k

>>53025255
90% of those assholes are men

>>53025423
nah you're real, everyone on this board is a larper. I code and make 35k

>>53025340
so yes, you're vaccinated
you're going to die you stupid faggot

>>53025378
If you’re fucking blind. Count the layoffs, the easy fed money is gone.

>>53025255
>$120k/yr
Almost all Data Scientists I know (including myself) are making over $200k/year friendo

What are the job titles that pay that much? I'm a Britfag and the science industry pays shit here

I’m in the STEM field and they fucking locked me out because I wouldn’t take the fauci jab, cocksuckers. Some people are hiring without jab and I even got a decent wage job, but still, fuck

>>53025255
ever heard of the "full-stack developer" (1 guy instead of frontend dev, db guy, app developer, tester and sometimes even designer lol) - it's basically the same thing here, just with data instead of webapp, and there is even less agreement what it should mean - in some companies they develop models requiring domain expertise - in others they mostly clean data and do monthly KPIs in PowerBI

if all you need is a some basic customization of your online shop why not hire generalist? similarly who in their right mind would hire 3 different specialist if all you need is some pretty KPI graphs?

the skills mentioned on your pic are even mentioned when hiring "just" data analysts or even other roles, knowing how to code no longer makes one special in corporate world, nobody want you to write the device drivers, but even mere accountants at my last job were writing excel macros and other scripts to automate the processes

>>53025835
I'd get a vaccine for the common cold if it meant I wouldn't get it anymore.

I'm not afraid of death. death is just a part of life. I'm talking here about spiritual death

I have a biochem major and a math minor as well.
You will not get an entry level job that pays $90k.
But, after working in a lab for 2 years, you can get a job that pays around $80k.
You can go the PhD route, and after you get your PhD in 5 years, and then do a post doc for a few years, you might get a 6 figure paying job.
Data scientists are making an entry around 42-50k a year.
No one is paying someone 150k a year with no experience.
Even brand new PhD grads are not making 6 figures unless if they have actual patents that have made profit in the private sector, which is incredibly rare.
Faggot OP

>>53025255
>be me
>have biochem phd
>30 yo
>only making $130k
Do anything other than science

>>53027174
consulting companies are paying people 150k+ straight out of college simply because they did well at the college campus meet and greet.
these people are complete faggot retards too

>>53027174
Shit I thought I was doing bad. I did my PhD in 5 years, plus 3 years postdoc at $90k, now making $130k at big pharm. AMA niggers. My biggest regret is not leaning to code and making this much money 8 years ago.

>>53027213
>t. faggot retard

>>53027214
what type of drugs do you work on? how much of your PhD and postdoc involved chemistry work in lab?
>>53027219
I make more money than you and I'm 26. seethe retard. I did STEM smarter than you and you will never have a 135+ IQ no matter how many degrees you achieve

>>53027174
Yea but that’s how it is in the real world, these faggots would rather larp about 6 figure starting salaries while they meet for 0 figured instead of working a couple of years and then actually making 100k+

lol damn Kanye is really insecure

>>53027229
I work on LNP vaccines. It’s hot right now but I’m afraid it could be a fad. Also I’m not bragging, the retard wojack is supposed to be me. Doing a phd was a terrible decision, but there are worse decisions i could have made

>>53027280
how often do you howl at the moon? fucking gay vampire kike you sell your soul for peanuts

>>53025255
how the actual fuck do you get a job lmao the only places hiring within 30 minutes of me hire exclusively pakis and w*men

>>53027229
>how much of your PhD and postdoc involved chemistry work in lab
Chemistry, virtually none. A tidbit of synthesis, but we could generally buy everything we needed. I’d call myself more of a molecular biologist than a chemist, but i still know way more chemistry than your typical molecular biologist, which gets them hard

>>53027308
learn a skill

>>53027293
What does this mean? You saying I’ve sold myself short? It was embarrassing doing my phd (at Caltech no less) and seeing how many retards i was surrounded by. Myself included, of course. Fuck kanye.

>>53027330
you can't even learn a trade here without being hired as an apprentice first, it's so fucked up. but yeah waiting to get approved for a course

>>53027313
I really enjoyed working on this type of stuff. I worked in a stem cell developmental research lab for awhile in undergrad until I figured out that I was working to the bone for pure evil. but still, I think there is real value in that field.
I chose to go the mil/aero route tho, which is lucrative but also pozzed. so I really can't criticize. I like to think that I work on things that help people now, but I don't know...
anyways I wish I was still doing gene selection insertion and screening sometimes
>>53027362
are you white? how did you get into Caltech? I'm still amazed that I managed to get into a top 20 as a white male
>Fuck kanye
on what basis, because he's a nigger? ok, but they didn't really choose to be here any more than we chose to flee from kike global tyranny back in the day

>>53027385
what field are you pursuing? if you knew how to assemble electronics (various soldering techniques) and applied to the company I worked at I would personally hire you in a heartbeat

>>53027385
it would also be worth learning Quality Assurance / Quality Engineering / Quality Management Systems
this is a skill that applies to almost every engineering field and is ALWAYS hiring and in-demand. you basically just make sure people are doing their jobs right, and can be selective about what days you actually want to try hard.
QA is comfy as hell

>>53027396
Former military and corrections, my career path ended since I refused to get the vax. I'm a pure blood trying to branch out into any field. Started a JS course but it makes me want to blow my brains out.

>>53027388
You seem cool fren. I think we’d get along. My postdoc was at a National lab, so military adjacent. Biotech is cool and still burgeoning, imo. Now that I’m working for big pharm, I feel like more of a cog in the machine, but I had a decent amount of freedom in my PhD and postdoc, so it was cool to fuck around with random ideas sometimes. I’ll miss that about academia.

I am white. I figure I got into Caltech because one of my professors who wrote a rec letter for me did their PhD at Caltech, because otherwise I was only a so-so candidate. Connections always help.

>>53027424
seriously learn to solder and move to Texas. every tech company that I regularly work with is dealing with serious turnover issues with their operators. a skilled solder technician with basic certs will never go unemployed
>>53027430
do you think your undergrad or masters GPA mattered for your application? I have connections where I work now, but we are still too small to send employees back to school. I would have to go "behind the back" of my management in order to go back to school at the current time. my GPA was 4.0+ in undergrad but my connections don't want me to leave yet...

>>53027388
>kanye
Kek he’s just too much. I sincerely think he has mental problems and the limelight is not good for him. If you look at those early interviews with him, he’s definitely had delusions of grandeur from the very beginning, and his success and media infamy is only feeding his egomaniacal mental issues

>>53027462
Unvaccinated, non-US persons are prohibited from entering the States. I would know, my wife and daughter are there. But I appreciate the tip

>>53027478
oh where are you now?

>>53027483
The communist hellhole to your north

>>53027462
Oof if they don’t want you to leave, are they at least decent enough people to still write you a positive recommendation? If they will, then it’s all good, but I have heard of vindictive people writing bad letters to try to keep people from leaving certain positions.

GPA doesn’t matter much as far as I know. GPA and GRE scores might get you sorted into the automatic “no” pile if they’re too low, but beyond that it really has more to do with your rec letters and research experience when it comes to phd programs. I had maybe an A- average GPA-wise and I didn’t even give it a second thought

>>53027488
damn man. I do want to spend a good chunk of time exploring your country's wilderness, but the vaccine requirements have prevented me for the last couple years. but in October I guess they ended that so I'm looking for an opportunity to visit soon. do you have any /out/ inclinations? can you recommend me some of your favorite spots to visit in your country?
have you considered or tried faking your vaxx card? i DEFINITELY do not have a fake card that I'm anxious to try for labor or travel purposes...
>>53027506
I think our CEO would give me the best rec letter that I could ever ask for. I'm just trying to build this company into a secure success so that we can afford operating without me for a few years. seems like my best chance at getting back to academia at this point since I've been in industry for 5 years and don't have recent academic research work to show

>>53027601

Algonquin Park in northeast Ontario is a great choice for camping, portaging, etc. I would never attempt to try using a fake vax pass for official government paperwork. Needs to be signed off by my family doctor regardless.

>>53027619
damn I haven't even been to any doctor in years...

>it's another "everyone on /biz/ is 20 years old and makes 150k" thread

>>53027640
I honestly prefer this to other SBF related crap or someone complaining about their bags, no one aspires to anything, even I who only have a little money in sora can at least have some future plan with this, around here there is just pure nihilism

>>53027640
I'm 30 and unemployed. Do you feel better now?

>>53025423
Are you from the US tho? That's the only place where they have incredibly high tech salaries even for people starting out

>>53025255
>Nobody actually qualified for this job is going to want it
thats the thing, 90% of data scientists arent qualified
