Who hires them and how do they find clients? (on their own or are they working for McKinsey or similar group?)
And if you have details, how much can they charge?
Edit: in my experience it is not very easy to get paid to just crunch numbers. Even if you can find a job that is supposed to be analytics, 90% of the work is data munging.
- mahmud 16y agoI am in the online-advertising business, and I know them from the "scene"; usually what you wanna look out for are "analyst" titles advertised by marketing and PR agencies. Wherever you see an ad for programmer, ring up the hiring person and inquire about analyst positions (you might actually have to explain the need and create your own position, possibly starting as a consultant.) I know these guys, like I said, from the "scene", but two of them I ran into responding to their ad; it was a badly phrased ad for a "developer" position, but after a 30 minute conversation it was apparent they wanted someone with machine-learning and distributed computing background who could scale their spreadsheets :-) If there is demand, I am more than happy to get into the head-hunting business as a side-gig ;-)
