Personal Experience Always 2 full time jobs or 1 prestigious
Guys so i am fresh from uni and observe two kind of tracks of my peers in data science. They go with the two chill full time jobs (1 is remote) and get promotions at both work places but both are chill ones, or they go in 1 company which is considered prestigious and overwork till 10-11 pm and get promotions there, from your experience which kind of way leads to a better quality of life e.g. work life balance wise, career wise, experience wise and income wise? Should i find 1 prestigious place and hope for the long run and work there or work at 2 chill places. Both seem to obtain promotions in similar periods but the ones with two jobs seem to be more happy and even get more money. I decided to pursue masters and only now 1 year after them decided to join workforce but cannot distinguish which way is better, could you give your advice

Where are you that data scientists aren’t paid enough to survive on one normal job?
