Thanks for sharing! As a new grad also looking for work, maybe I'll apply to more SE jobs, fewer data science-focused jobs lol. TBH applying for jobs is scary

  Maybe it's just because I've been in industry for 10+ years now, but how are you qualified as a new grad to apply for both?

    Double major statistics + cs? masters statistics? Seems those would potentially qualify you if you are a solid candidate?

  Not sure why you've been downvoted--it's really tough to know what skills will be marketable in 4+ years when choosing what to concentrate on in college. In my schooling, I really optimized for the math+stats background, since I enjoyed it and thought it would help me stand out. I even took a short detour into a machine learning PhD before deciding academia isn't for me and leaving with an MS. Now I'm on the job market, and although I have modest coding/engineering skills and a willingness to learn, it's tough to find a company willing to take the risk. Guess I min/maxed a little too much. Best of luck in your search!
