What job level for PhD grads
I am graduating from my PhD in applied comp sci in medicine from a russell group uni and I'm planning my transition into industry. I am trying to find out what level/roles I should apply to so that I don't under/over sell myself.
Bit of extra context:
- my PhD covers statistics, ml, and XAI. Time serious forecasting and decision support systems.
- I have a bit of freelance data science consulting experience for local companies that I have reached out too.
- I use python, SQL, r, and rust. I have made a couple of open-sourve projects and contributed to large open-source projects at the uni.
I know entry level market is awful right now but I feel my expirence might push me past it maybe?
Any advice would be really appreciated!!
Thanks folks.
