[quote=Anonymous]PP. It's my perspective that people management might be less valued in corporate economics/sales forecasting because you are not trying to grow people to move up the corporate hierarchy.  These are small shops and a lot of people arrive with the academic training to do the work.

Data science is/was different because of being a new field where it was difficult and expensive to find and retain new staff.  For a while it was like AI is now, a lot of new people getting insane money, poaching, etc.

Sp my suggestion is also to look into where managerial skills are really more emphasized.  Maybe when a company is adding a new department for the first time.

You may find at some places that you are paid more to be an individual contributor vs. govt. manager.  Sometimes there's little logic to this.

It's always struck me as odd that I make more money as an independent contributor at a corporation than the principal of my kids' elementary school.  She manages a staff of about 30 people, is responsible for the development of about 400 kids per year, and has a dollar budget for managing the school.[/quote]
