Data scientist and product manager are not entry level jobs. As for the others...maybe you’ll get a salary like that if you are are a top computer science graduate from Stanford going straight to work at Google. If you are from Enormous State University, you’ll probably start out maintaining 30-year-old COBOL programs at Giant Boring Insurance Company for $45,000/year, just like the rest of us had to. :)

Agree. In my experience sales engineer and product manager are anything but entry level. Both are generally preceded by experience in applications or design engineering.

True.

Interesting to me a bit, as I evaluated Tableau for adoption when it was new. Very slick. Beats charting things with Excel.

I was also a “product manager” and no, that is no entry job, it is actual management, with supervision of employees/contractors.
