Hey guys. I'm currently an analytics consultant at ibm, and pretty sure will a promotion to senior consultant next year. I'm also applying to Lyft as "analytics lead". Would you guys consider this an upgrade..... In terms of prestige?
What is your skill set? What languages and tools you use for your analytics work?
Right now, I use Excel, SQL, SPSS and I have beginner/entry Python skills.... I have not have alot of opportunities to learn or do as much Analytics work as I expected at IBM..
SQL is definitely very relevant. Beginner level python would be a problem....I’m wondering if you can land a job there even without the “lead” title. But good luck!
No. IBM is the most prestigious company. And we do the best analytics. Cognitive! Just kidding. Unless you are on one of a few select teams in IBM where there's some serious talent, a successful startup is going to be sexier/more prestigious.
Yes. Good Luck!
