I currently work as a data analyst for an insurance company. I’ve been doing this work for about three years now. It is a career change for me and I like the work I do (lots of SQL and Python scripting), but I think I’d like to move into something more technical. I’m self-taught. My bachelor’s degree is in finance.
My question: what is the best next move for my career from here? Some things I’m considering:
- Go back to school and study either CompSci / Stats and move into data science or even a developer role
- Forego the formal education, study up on LeetCode, and apply to technology companies for developer roles
- Try to become a manager
I’m currently at $110k salary in a HCOL area and looking to move that to the $150k to $175k range (I know that is a big jump).
