How is Data Analytics Consultant role in NCS?

As title.

On this forum, many have been criticising NCS being a bad company. One reason is that you just keep fire fighting projects. But the comments seem to gear towards SWE roles.

I am going to graduate soon and I have gotten an offer as a data analytics consultant at NCS. Appreciate if anyone can share about how data analytics roles are like in NCS and whether it is as toxic as SWE roles.

Thank you!

It seems better than SWE side. As you are not maintaining something but you are generating something new using data.

Stick to data. Don’t bother with swe, borders opening up. unless you are super good. If you are you wouldn’t be at NCS.

I also just got an offer. I am wondering how the growth opportunities are like there? What projects exactly can we expect to do? What skills will we acquire?

Compared to data analytics roles in other companies (be they tech or other consulting companies), how is the career prospect like if a fresh grad starts out there? How is the exit like?
