What it means for Data Scientist (3,602) / how to use it

This week open the named-list ask on Meta: 2,593/3,602 (72.0%) — the largest bench first.

• Use Uber at 378/3,602 (10.5%) as the contrast narrow list; 6.86× behind Meta.
• Tail Pinterest is only 142/3,602 (3.9%) — thin beside the anchor; do not expand past measured hosts at the same pace.
