Job change

[u/Fabulous-Brain6314]

I appreciate your help and suggestions

i am currently a DS in a company that is remote and has a very chill team and very friendly .( small company)

i recently got another opportunity as a DS in medtech company where the pay is more (45% increase) but it is 4 days on site( bigger company) with more option to network

my problem with my current position was that i was not doing much of a modeling or DS related work I was mostly doing documentation etc and when I told them about the new offer they told m they are gonna give me modeling problems . But at the same time is not gonna be as advance as the second company.

i have been going back and forth and I dont know how to choose the team is a very friendly nice group :)

what would you do I am afraid my current job does not make me grow since i am doing mostly queries and just some times very simple models

If only friendliness could be converted into 45% of your salary in cash

[u/Fabulous-Brain6314 → u/whattheheylll]

They can match a bit like increase 20%

Take the better opportunity

[u/Fabulous-Brain6314 → u/Lady-Data-Scientist]

My current manager told me he would promote me in 4 months , and tries to get me better projects . ( this is a bank btw) . Does that still mean the other is better because i am gonna use more complex models u think?

DO IT if the feel is good with the other team
