发帖数: 201 | 2 Two types of “consumers” of stat majors play important roles in US job
market:
A) Pharmaceutical
B) Non-pharmaceutical (Banking, Insurance, Marketing analysis, Quality
Control, etc).
Where to go? IT depends on your life goal and what you like?
1) In pharma, you will work on projects covering experiment designs, data
analysis under strict government regulations; your income will be stable a
few years later but may not be as high as those in Wall Street; your work
areas might be limited to a few spots in US.
2) In non-pharma, you will work on projects most often focusing on data
modeling; it is relatively to get in for fresh students (depending on who
you are); your income might be high comparatively; and you can find a good
job in any big developed metropolitans.
Yet, life is not just at your own choice – the industry side makes their
own choices too.
Three factors affect your luck and fate:
1) Type of Degree: if you have a Ph.D, you can choose both “boss”. Yet
, banking is more welcome to the fresh graduates than pharma who used to be
friendly 10 years ago but not as friendly as they were. Yet, you can still
be hired as a data analysis with a master degree.
2) Years of Experiences: Pharma like that. That is why hiring managers
pile up with tons of resumes that claim to have more than 5 years of (
unverifiable) experiences, and that might not bring the authors even a
simple phone screening interview. As a graduate, you have no control but
work on more and more work related projects. Do NOT make fake resumes.
Never.
3) Where you live. Companies are now more careful to spend now than then
, for hiring. If you are local, they do not need to pay your travel
expenses for onsite interviews. Then you can easily get an onsite. If you
want a pharma, go to California, Boston, NC first; these places are heavily
loaded with pharmas.
The general feeling is that banking is easier to get in compared to pharma,
all GPA equal.
Then the question still remains: where to go?
You answer it by looking in and looking out. |

发帖数: 201 | 5 A few things you might have started to prepare:
1) Go back to class notes to refresh memories of what you learnt at
classroom. Then try to relate these concepts to real life problems.
2) present these ideas to your friends, colleagues, or to the mirrors - 温故
知新 to present is a more modernized way of following our old wisdom.
3) relax .... |

am currently taking it and feel great about it, which is why I want to
share with you. |

信没关系，我只是提供信息，我是学员，暂时没能力给Bancova 工作。来美国几年？怎

发帖数: 1938 | 9 你的背景找个market research supplier 足够了，比如GfK.
还有一些公司，比如westat和很多research focus公司都需要类似背景。
ETS 也不那么难进，可能需要个推荐？
当然从收入考虑能进pharma是最好的。

其实我倒不是很看重收入，只想有份稳定的工作，时间不要太tough就行。
当然，还有一个原因是因为我觉得pharma很难进，觉得自己背景不够好。
我想问问如果去Market research需要哪些方面的知识准备？ Pharma呢？
我知道自己还需要多做job research，不过前辈如果能给点建议我还是感激不尽。
