Now the big picture

You should look at "analysis jobs", instead of totally "coding jobs" -- sure, you're going to do a lot of coding, but the difference is: you code on data! (They code on nothing! -- to develop some sort of products).

Now another big picture: you shouldn't look at Silicon Valley -- they do need stats, but those are very high level stats! They are top guns! -- For example, Google hires stats because they've got lots of data, but have no idea how to deal with it! (You're not that sort of gun yet).

What you should do is: look at dice or other common websites for job hunting, then type in key words that you're familiar with -- say "R SAS...", then you look at job description, you get very good idea about where you should go.
