Alumni Talk
Capucine Roquart who graduated in October 2023 - Master Economics track Economic Policy Analyses and Magistère Ingénieur Economiste
«I am a Data Analyst with Groupama Méditerranée, an insurance company, where I am mainly responsible for sales management and variable pay for the sales staff of the regional insurance company Groupama Méditerranée.
This is my first job. I was hired immediately after my work-study placement, and they created a position to keep me on a permanent contract.
I have several assignments. The first is to work on code programmes. I use the R programming language to set the parameters for variable pay. We compare data tables to obtain different types of information, to export files. But other responsibilities involve providing data analysis, i.e. a "Data" perspective on projects not necessarily focused on data alone, which requires cross-disciplinary perspective.
The fact that AMSE offers both theoretical and empirical economics as well as this whole "Data Science" aspect is very enriching. And today, I am very happy because I can really combine two complementary approaches in my work. However, not all schools offer Big Data and Economics at the same time. So, it was a good compromise, and showed a determination to keep enriching the curricula with knowledge and skills that take account of future developments, and which therefore will help us on the job market.»
