Everyone looks the same

Getting Started

I posted a DA position for $70k and just read 225 resumes that got past HR. 200 had Master’s in DA/DS/Comp Sci, etc and all of those had 3-5 years experience with what seemed like the same 15 companies (lots of health data, finance, Indian consultancy companies for FAANGs).

None of them had the content experience I’m looking for but that’s hard.

I can’t imagine trying to get in, now, with just a BS in anything and I can’t find a reasonable way to differentiate the otherwise identical resumes.

Maybe just a rant, but keep this stuff in mind if you’re just getting started with a DA Bootcamp and/or a Bachelor’s
