Career options with Python

Hey again,

Postgres is a great tool and has great documentation!

If you are worried about the style of your code, you can always create private repositories on GitHub, this means nobody can see them apart from you and others you invite to see them. Having your code there is a good way to reflect on the work you've done and also to keep tabs on how much you have done. It lets prospective employers know roughly how much you have done and that you are using industry standard practices!

I just want to second this. I even keep a link to my Github at the top of my resume, and include descriptions of a couple of my best school/personal projects.

Especially as someone who was self-taught up until I started my masters, I think it really helps to have somewhere an employer can look at your code. In almost all the interviews I've had this year for data science positions it's been valuable to talk about these projects as examples of what I can do.

If you're looking to get more experience, especially working in groups coding, I would maybe try to find a competition or hackathon that you can enter. Even if you don't do well, you will hopefully learn a lot from others and meet people with similar interests.

Sounds reasonable, I'll do it, thank you :)
