DS after working on SWE

Question

Hi all,I studied computer science. I have 7 YOE working as a software engineer. Nevertheless, I wanted to change slightly my proffession and started to study a master's degree in Statistics for Data Science 1 year ago.&nbsp;I will present the master thesis and therefore, finish the master's degree, in one week. The research of thesis is about a new dimension-reduction technique with spherical data.One of the questions is: What is my seniority in the field? I don't have proffesional experience but I have worked in SWE for a long time. Having a huge knowledge of git, programming languages or cloud.I would like to know what's the best approach to find an interesting opportunity.&nbsp;I am based in Europe, but don't mind to move to other place, for instance US. What are the best companies in DS?&nbsp;I am excited for this new chapter in my career. Also, recommendations or referals are welcome as well.&nbsp;

Are you also open to Machine learning engineering or Research engineering roles? Since you have a good knowledge of both SWE and ML you might be a good fit for them.

master's alone in ds should be enough to get a job in the field, and with cs 7yr, certainly enough. just not enough people in the field at master's or higher. eg something like https://nordstrom.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/nordstrom_careers/details/Data-Scientist--Supply-Chain_R-306960?locationHierarchy2=f33c98d880a9010112a24f246a000000 I'm sure tons of similar in EU.
