I would go to Redwood city. Yeah the COL is insane, but the job market would be great for you.

What's the job title? What were the educational qualifications?

What's your goal? Work in industry? Academia? Think tank?

How good is the program you graduated from?

Take the job. In a few years you'll be way more marketable.

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".

this kind of worries me. presumably you are in the latter part of your 20s or your 30s.


She's trying to help me. I wouldn't have applied for the job otherwise.

Unless TA experience counts. I've been a TA all throughout my masters and PhD programs.

That sounds like a great deal for someone just out of college.

I got a job offer as a data analyst in Florida. The pay is $86k. This would be my first job out of college. I have 3 degrees in statistics. Is this a good offer? I have another offer in California but the cost of living is so high there. My girlfriend applied for this job for me. I have been avoiding the jobs that only require a bachelors degree.
