Got some leads at RedHat, IBM, GE Digital, and Indeed thus far. My boss at my previous job before Dell/EMC said I'm rehirable and is referring me to a recruiter at Google's Storage Cloud.

I always feel defeated in these situations though because I'm at the whim of the employer.

Depends on all sorts of things like: Your location, job market, your skills and experience, whether or not you currently have a job or are in a good position to negotiate, etc.

Are you gonna be a clown or drop knowledge... and you dont need a college degree at all.

you think someone's going to hire a data scientist without a Masters degree?
