📈 #26 Unlock your Operations Research career path in 10 minutes (from 5 years of real job data)

Without spending hours scrolling through LinkedIn.

Over the past 5 years, I have saved numerous job offers related to Operations Research that appeared on LinkedIn. In total, 176.

I don't know if that's many or few, but it seems like a representative sample of the reality that surrounds us.

And yes, I say saved. I have not even come close to submitting my CV to all of them. You might wonder why I've saved them, and I could tell you it was to be able to make this post.

But that's not the reason.

The reality is that I've saved them purely for entertainment. To see with my own eyes how the OR market is in different parts of the world and to get an idea of the skills that are requested, optimization problems that are usually solved, and, in general, the type of role that is in demand.

Of course, what lies behind this is understanding how I can adapt to that market demand, what my evolution could be, and what I might expect when looking out there.

And today I'm telling you everything, EVERYTHING, all I know here, on Feasible:

• Skills, requirements, and tools that are requested

• The average description you can find on LinkedIn

• The most curious offers and the ones that have caught my attention the most

I hope all of this gives you many tools to steer your career as best as possible.

Once again… Let's go for it!

⚠️ Disclaimer ⚠️

I have saved job offers for 5 years. But if I have saved them, it's because somehow I liked them. That is to say, the first important point: these are not all the job offers in the world.

This means that any data is subject to being reinterpreted in future analyses of the Operations Research market.

With that said, let's get to it…
