How to find R-lang heavy jobs?
3 points by johnnybzane 8 hours ago
How do I find jobs that use the R language? It's impossible to search the letter "R" on linkedIn or Indeed without getting a bunch of unrelated job postings
"R" is the only programming language I know (stats major) and I can't find a job that uses R because job search engines don't allow you to sort by skill
"R language" is the closest substitute on linkedin but the results are still a jumbled mess of jobs, some looking moreso for other skills (SQL/Python) and mention R passively
I know R-heavy jobs exist but finding them on LinkedIn is virtually impossible
The R programmers I've met (3 of them) have all worked in government or science (two for the EPA, one for the DoE). All other data scientist or statistics heavy jobs I see people using python because the tooling tends to speed things up
