I am thinking about Making a move in a few Months, not really sure about what options are in Chicago area. 3.5 yrs experience with interest in Big Data and AI. Current compensation is about 120K. Any idea/recommendation is appreciated.
US Cellular, Google, Amazon, Motorola Solutions, Nokia, AT&T, Gogo, World Wide Technology, Citrix, Captial One, Salesforce, Uber, Grub Hub
Uber does not have an Eng office in Chicago unfortunately..
It’s really slim pickings for Tech in Chicago
100% tech companies or companies that is tech? Lots of companies in Chicago, more than Dallas, Atlanta, New Jersey, etc. Is Uber more of a tech company than a rental car company that has an app or an insurance company that has an app?
Both. Here are the largest companies in Chicago, which would you call tech? Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. Boeing Co. Archer Daniels Midland Co. Caterpillar Inc. United Continental Holdings Inc. Allstate Corp. Mondelez International Inc. Exelon Corp. Deere & Co. McDonald's Corp. Sears Holdings Corp. Abbvie Inc. Abbott Laboratories Kraft Heinz Co.
Tronc has a few openings for Data Scientists currently.
There is a ton of fintech, plus old school financial companies here including CNA, JP Morgan chase, Aon, ALLSTATE, plus all the big law firms are always looking for ds guys
I moved to uptake about 9 months ago and it has been a blast so far. Definitely some interesting ml problems to solve if you’re on data science.
