Anyway, keep a look out at the public sector too. The whole public sector is jumping onto the analytics bandwagon. And if u know where to look, there are certain ministries who pays very well for ppl with ur background (Big hint: economics with strong programming background). Im toking about 70-80k p.a. for fresh grad with first class hons and
ns.
The downside is that the entire service is so new to analytics that there wont be many experienced practitioners to hold ur hand (unless u r in
IDA/astar). But at the same time, u r given tons of freedom to explore as wide and as deep as you want. At least that's the case for my side.
