Need geniune advice on choosing company for switch.
I'm a Senior Data Scientist with around 5.5 YOE . I am planning on for a switch as there is absolutely NO learning in current organisation. (Projects are not there , Even the POCs that we had picked on our own are not being priorized. Manager is also not from DS Background.) So I am very concerned about the fact that if i stay in this org for a long time , I would be totally outdated. I joined this org in Dec 2024.
I've got two offers
-
Scaler : Lead Data Scientist and Instructor. Compensation wise its 25% raise over my current fixed numbers. Pros : Brand , Chilled Envt ( atleast from what I can get from Glassdoor reviews) Cons : They are saying some bandwidth would have to dedicated to teaching ( let say one or two batches with each batch having 12 classes/month) and rest you can devote time for other projects in Company or Enterprise projects ( other startups coming up and asking Scaler for solutions )
-
Aviso AI : Staff Data Scientist Pros : Remote. ,GENAI based work ( Atleast from what they are claiming ) Cons: Dont know about the company + Ambitionbox reviews are very bad. I am very scared.
How to choose between these two ?
One interview, 1000+ job opportunities
Take a 10-min AI interview to qualify for numerous real jobs auto-matched to your profile 🔑
- Scaler: Prioritize if teaching + mentorship aligns with your long-term goals (boosts leadership profile).
- Aviso AI: Choose only if you can verify their GenAI projects (ask for team/product demos).
- Red Flag Check: For Aviso, demand a 30-min call with future teammates to assess culture.
