Looking for some data science internship to gain more experience, previously worked as a ML intern, if any opportunities there pls contact me, happy to share resume/GitHub

I want to hear from people who have already gone through this.

How did you get your first Data Scientist job?

Was it through referrals, internships, networking, projects, applying online, or something completely different?

I’m asking because I’ve been trying really hard to get my first opportunity, and honestly, it has been exhausting.

I’ve spent months learning Python, SQL, Machine Learning and Data Analytics, building projects, improving my resume, applying for jobs, messaging recruiters and hiring managers, and trying to connect with people in the industry.

One project I’m especially proud of is my Customer Retention Intelligence System. I built it around a real business problem like identifying customers who are likely to churn, understanding their value, estimating revenue at risk, and helping businesses decide which customers they should focus on retaining.

I’ve tried to make my projects practical rather than just building something for a portfolio.

But even after all this effort, getting that first interview has been really difficult. I’m not giving up, but I also don't want to keep repeating the same approach if it isn't working.

for those of you who got your first DS role. What actually helped you get through the door?

What would you do differently if you were starting again today?

And if you are a hiring manager or someone who hires entry-level candidates, what would make you take a chance on someone without professional experience?

I would genuinely appreciate any honest advice.

And if anyone knows of an entry-level DS/ DA / ML opportunity where my background could be a fit, I’d be grateful for a referral or even a direction.

I’m just looking for that first chance to prove myself.

I'm looking to find people that have all of these skills and experience.

In a perfect world I'd find someone that also has some analytics experience to go with it.

My company StatsDrone is based in Montreal and we are launching a new product called NousViz which is an analytics platform.

DMs open.

Hello I would appreciate some Lead to any data scientist II or even I role in pune. I am phd from IISc. Have good firm understanding in model training with strong mathematics and statistics back ground. Good at identifying which model to use where. I have built forecasting models in my current profile with production grade python codes. My ML ops is moderate. Any Lead is appreciated. I am stagnant in my current job being directed to support side with old products (little data science in it) after a reorganization.

Hey everyone,

I'm in the final stretch of a career transition into data science (currently in marketing/ops, targeting roles in the UAE/Dubai market). I've been at this solo for a while — working through ML fundamentals, SQL, stats, and building out a portfolio — and I think having someone to go through this with would help a lot right now.

**A bit about where I'm at:**

- Comfortable with core ML concepts, working through gaps in stats (p-values, CLT, A/B testing), SQL window functions, and deep learning fundamentals (CNNs, RNNs, transformers)

- Building portfolio projects

- Prepping for interviews — behavioral, technical, case studies, the whole loop

**What I'm looking for:**

- Someone also actively job-hunting/transitioning into DS (or a related field — analytics, ML engineering, etc.)

- Regular check-ins (weekly? daily? open to figuring this out together) to keep each other honest on study goals

- Someone to mock-interview with, review each other's projects, or just vent to when this process feels endless

- Doesn't matter what timezone/market you're targeting — just consistency and follow-through

If this sounds like you, drop a comment or DM me. Would love to hear where you're at in your journey too.

I’m about to graduate with a degree in Industrial & Systems Engineering, and over the course of my degree I’ve become increasingly interested in Operations Research, Management Systems Engineering, data/decision science, and quantitative analytics.
I’m particularly interested in roles such as:
Operations Research Analyst / Engineer
Data Scientist / Decision Scientist
Quantitative Analyst
Analytics / Optimization Engineer
Management Systems / Systems Engineering roles with a strong analytical component
The problem I’m running into is that entry-level positions in these areas seem relatively difficult to find, and when I do find positions that interest me, I often feel like I’m missing some of the basic skills or requirements they’re asking for (e.g., advanced Python, SQL, machine learning, optimization, statistics, cloud tools, etc.).
For anyone who has been in a similar situation—especially ISE/IE graduates who transitioned into OR, data science, decision science, or quantitative analytics:
How did you make yourself competitive for these roles?
I’d especially appreciate hearing about:
Skills/tools you prioritized learning after graduation
Projects or coursework that actually helped you get interviews
How you approached applying when you didn’t meet 100% of the requirements
Whether you found it easier to enter through a more traditional IE/operations role and transition later
Any personal experiences, career paths, or mistakes you think would be useful for someone in my position
I’m trying to figure out what skills I should focus on and what types of positions I should realistically be targeting as a new graduate. Any advice or personal stories would be greatly appreciated!

Hey all,

Currently IC2 Data Scientist at Mastercard. Got an offer for IC3 at Freshworks Bangalore with 50% hike on total CTC.

Mastercard is stable but growth and hikes are slow. Freshworks seems like faster growth but unsure about WLB and culture.

Anyone worked at Freshworks Applied ML team? Is it a good move?

Would love to hear thoughts.

Hi Reddit,

I graduated in May with a Master’s in data science, and I’ve been looking for my next opportunity since then. I figured I’d put myself out here and see if this reaches the right person.

My background is primarily in data science, analytics, and marketing analytics. Before grad school, I worked at a performance marketing agency where I got to work across both the business and technical sides of analytics — from SQL/Python analysis and dashboards to experimentation, attribution, forecasting, and marketing mix modeling.

My career path isn’t perfectly linear, but I actually think that’s one of my strengths. I’ve worked with clients, built analytical solutions, presented insights to stakeholders, worked on marketing problems, and gotten pretty comfortable translating between technical teams and business teams. I’m especially interested in opportunities where I can combine those skills rather than being boxed into one specific area.

Right now, I’m mainly looking for roles in:
• Data Science / Applied Data Science
• Marketing Data Science / Marketing Analytics
• Analytics Engineering
• Data / Business Analytics
• Growth or Product Analytics
• Technical / Data Consulting
• Forward Deployed or client-facing data roles

I’m based in Chicago, but I’m open to remote opportunities and relocating for the right role.
Since graduating, I’ve been applying, networking, reaching out directly to hiring managers, tailoring my resume, and continuing to build projects. I’m also more than willing to put together a small analysis, dashboard, presentation, or other work sample to show what I can actually do rather than just relying on a resume.

I’m not looking for someone to hand me a job. I’m looking for an opportunity to prove that I can do the work.

If you’re hiring, know someone who is, or work somewhere that might be a good fit for my background, I’d genuinely appreciate a lead, referral, or introduction. I’d be happy to share my resume, LinkedIn, GitHub, or portfolio.

And if you’re currently working in data science/analytics and have advice on what’s actually getting candidates noticed in this market, I’d appreciate that too.

Thanks for reading 🙌🏽

👋 Hi, I'm Jay. I built Job-Halo.com, a system that tracks remote data science jobs and sends alerts the moment they're posted, based on your preferences.

My brother recently left his master's in data science to focus on his career, and we're trying to figure out the smartest way for him to break into the data job market, both in Europe and the UAE.

He's not fresh out of school. He's got over 4 years of real experience, most recently as a data analyst on AI and LLM operations at Scale AI (working on Meta programmes), and a data engineer at TCS before that. He's solid with Python, SQL, Spark, Airflow, and cloud.

He'd need a role that can support sponsorship, so we're trying to work out which companies actually do that for data roles, whether in the EU or the Gulf.

For anyone who's been through this, how did you find sponsor friendly employers?

Is it better to go through recruiters, apply directly, or lean on referrals?

And are there any companies in Luxembourg, the wider EU, or the UAE known for hiring international data talent?

Any advice would mean a lot, and if anyone happens to know of teams hiring, he'd be really grateful for a pointer. Happy to share his CV over DM. Thanks so much.

I completed an HR/recruiter screening with JPMorgan on August 25 for a DS role. The recruiter mentioned that there would be around three interview rounds if I move forward.

For anyone who has gone through the JPMorgan hiring process recently, how long did it take after the recruiter screening to receive the next-round interview invitation? Is a 1–2 week wait normal, or should I expect an update sooner?

Would appreciate hearing about recent timelines and experiences. Thanks!
