Tampa, FL. He is lucky they have internet!
Business intelligence. It's overwhelmed with foreigners, but I had no choice as it fit my background perfectly. I have a good programming and statistics background and also good business acumen with an MBA in Finance. I thought that would put me on top of the heap.
Problem is: the heap is HUGE !
Every new engagement is a fight for maintaining my current rate....and also a fight to get paid on a 1099 basis. No one does that any longer...something about lawsuit liability. So I stuck paying these outrageous taxes on a W2 basis and have to live on $30/day....it's ridiculous. I should be making at least $80/hr without benefits. I was just turned down when a large agency fronting for Vanguard Investments would only pay me $50/hr W2 with a worthless, high deductible medical plan for $550/mo. I had been trying to get into Vanguard for over 5 years as I had the perfect background in finance and portfolio management. This was the first agency inquiry for my services in over 3 months....the IT contracting market is very bad right now.
What does Business Intelligence mean?
Gathering a company's transactional data into a repository where it can be analyzed and dissected to make intelligent management decisions based on trends and statistics from the data.
sql and excel...a cheaper data scientist. They can get averages and pivot tables
Do you really need 6 months or 6 hours?Assuming you know the basics
Lol. No wonder we are talking car mechanic pay.
Regarding US, I am still thinking of whether to move from Hongkong to the US but even as self employed PM the taxes and othe expenses are a big NG for me right now. Hk truly is a paradise when it comes to working and making dough.

With all due respect if you need 6 months to figure out the stuff you are supposed to know then no wonder you are raped at work.
Passion cannot be taught. ..you have it or don't. And passion fuels a constant hunger to learn new things. You apparently lack passion. Sorry I can't add more value. I just don't sense much enthusiasm and passion in you from what you are sharing here.
