[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have a phd in statistics hold out. Do you have data visualization skills? You can make more than that. [/quote]

With 0 work experience?

Take the job. In a few years you'll be way more marketable. [/quote]
Uh, no pp. I hire statistics (and other STEM) phds fresh out of grad school for more than $100k. Plus the job description does not demand a phd. There are better jobs op. 5-6 years of a rigorous phd program is not "no work experience". [/quote]

It is absolutely zero work experience. OP has proven that he is very good at doing statistics in an academic setting. This doesn't necessarily mean he will be a capable employee, as he has no track record. Tons of people have big degrees but never perform well in their chosen field. If a PhD in statistics is that in demand, then you have nothing to worry about if you hold out.[/quote]
I'm sorry that you understand nothing about phd's and/or research. Depending on the job and the degree, the experience counts. This is not the same as a literature phd applying for an HR job for which he/she has no experience. [/quote]
