NYU Graduate Seeking Opportunities in Data Science/Engineering

Hi gals, I’m a 2019 graduate from NYU Stern with a degree in Business Economics from NYU Stern and a minor in Computer Science & Math seeking opportunities as a Data Analyst/Scientist or Entry Level Engineer working in Python/Java. Last summer I was a data analyst at Dow Jones and used data analysis and machine learning to understand the factors driving higher advertising revenues by some customers. This analysis led to a cross-functional effort to upsell current accounts and further maximize Dow Jones’ revenue stream. I also worked with a professor at NYU for the 2018-2019 school year on research regarding how humans perceive algorithms and their capacity for discrimination. I used natural language processing (NLTK) to extract and analyze our research participants' sentiment about how they perceived fairness and what factors influenced their likelihood of purchasing a product if it was sold by a bot vs. a human. Using natural language processing helped quantify our participants' sentiments or reactions toward algorithmic authenticity and understand numerically how this influenced purchasing patterns. I am interested in continuing to learn and grow as a data scientist and engineer, so if anyone has any leads for job opportunities for recent grads within this field, please don’t hesitate to reach out. My email is [email protected].

Marissa, thanks for showing us what you can do for a company as you ask for help. Have you made a list of 100 NYC large and small companies that can benefit from your expertise? Have you worked the NYU Stern alumni network to connect with those companies? Have you written direct emails to potential hiring managers, asking them to imagine what they could achieve if you can help them upsell accounts by using machine learning and optimize sales conversion by quantifying customer sentiments/reactions? For templates on how to do all of this, check out my free ebook and free 30-min consultation at landdreamcorporatejobs.com and join my Spark Job Search Boot Camp group here on FGB for support to work my proven 7-step system to land dream jobs.
