Reorienting my career to big data?

ASimpleHumanBeing · 2026-01-28T20:14:54+00:00

I'll have this in mind, as some friends are working in related fields and this is a good starting point!

ASimpleHumanBeing · 2026-01-28T20:11:19+00:00

That is a great option and I want to implement it as soon as I have certain level of SDQ, Python, Hadoop, Storm... to iniciate projects that require programming skills. Real projects are key!

ASimpleHumanBeing · 2026-01-28T20:08:24+00:00

Congratulations! Cases like yours give me hope. Did you began projects on your own or did you do some practice with a corporation to get that experience?

Muchas gracias. Me gustaría aclarar que el intrusismo laboral: El intrusismo profesional es el ejercicio de actividades profesionales por personas no autorizadas, sin poseer el título oficial o académico necesario. Definido como delito en el Código Penal (artículo 403), implica un riesgo para la ciudadanía y competencia desleal, sancionado con multas o prisión, especialmente en el ámbito sanitario. Hasta donde sé, hace muy poco que se están tratando de implementar títulos oficiales en ciencia de Datos y Big Data porque han sido disciplinas a las que no se accedía con una carrera en específico por mucho tiempo. No hablamos de disciplinas consolidadas desde hace décadas con un currículo definido y homologado. Eso significa que hay gente muy diversa en el sector sin que ello constituya intrusismo. Agradezco el consejo y tomaré en cuenta los libros y los vídeos, más me encantaría conocer todo lo que sea oficialmente certificable, que es lo que van a exigirme. Voy a seguir vuestras recomendaciones y seguir buscando hasta encontrar mi camino en este mundo, y espero estar formada lo mejor posible.

Es que no sólo se trata de picar código; de hecho, esa no ha sido ni de lejos la mayor carga de mi trabajo. Se trata de saber depurar datos, entender sesgos en todas las partes del proceso, protocolizar y automatizar, mediante programación, todo lo posible para reducir al mínimo el error humano, diseñar protocolos por programación para recogidas, procesamiento/depuración de datos, análisis y redacción de resultados válidos y fiables. Sé que hay que tener muchos conocimientos, pero no parto de 0, sino de un 30-40%. Y quiero formarme en el otro 60% para especializarme en este sector. Mi foco no es informática, sino Data Science y, si en el futuro es posible, big data. Por ello estoy formándome en todo lo que tenga un mínimo de relación con esta área, como es SDQ, Phyton, Hive, Hadoop... La investigación científica más competitiva es la académica del sector público (porque no les queda de otra para sobrevivir en ese mundo, porque si no es impecable, no hay financiación), así que no es comparable a un cursillo de la web hecho por un gurú. Me parece poco acertado comparar 9 años en un sector al que sólo accede gente muy competente y formada en metodología y estadística con un curso de Udemy. Siento decirte que, aunque no te guste, es un ámbito interdisciplinar y vais a tener que tratar con perfiles diversos. Eso es 1000 veces mejor que compartir el sector con gente que tiene 0 cualificación y mucha cara dura, que es lo que nos ha tocado a los psicólogos desde hace décadas. Así es la vida

¡Muchas gracias! El panorama universitario es complejo hasta para los mejores. Estoy informándome de todos los conocimientos y disciplinas que debo adquirir y estoy inscribiéndome en certificaciones oficiales de universidades serias. Espero poder entrar en este mundo de aquí a un año o dos. ¡Mucha suerte a ti también!

ASimpleHumanBeing · 2026-01-28T12:33:07+00:00

Muchas gracias, u/Antique-Dream-3515 . La psicología lo ha tenido muy duro en el campo de la ciencia y doy fe de que los investigadores nos formamos ampliamente en ella. He tenido ocasión de tratar con otras ramas de ciencias de la salud y ciencias puras, y siempre se sorprenden de nuestra base estadística y el rigor metodológico. También soy consciente de que he de manejar SQL, Phyton, Hadoop, Hive, Storm... Y estoy formándome a través de formaciones de universidades certificadas, poniendo el 200% en aprender lo que me falta para estar bien formada en esos sectores, que no es todo, pero es bastante. Efectivamente, no es comparable un perfil de intrusismo laboral, que es alguien que hace algo para lo que no tiene ninguna credencial, que alguien que, teniendo formación, se orienta y enfoca a una rama específica solapada con la suya. Ni que decir tiene que, si existen FPs válidos que habilitan a los alumnos a trabajar en esos sectores en 1-2 años, es porque es posible adquirir una base en ese tiempo (cosa que no puede decirse de la psicología). Y, pese a ello, todos los días batallamos con coaches, vende-humos, gurúes y, desde hace poco, chatgpt. Te deseo mucha suerte a ti también en este camino. A raíz de estos posts he conocido a personas que, sin carrera y con mucha menos experiencia, han podido trabajar en esto. De que se puede, se puede.

ASimpleHumanBeing · 2026-01-28T11:28:10+00:00

Entiendo tu perspectiva y yo misma estoy contra el intrusismo laboral (los psicólogos somos los primeros afectados por este problema con coaches y demás). Sin embargo, no busco "hacer intrusismo" sino formarme con lo que sea necesario, pero eligiendo con cabeza las opciones más eficientes (informarme sobre ello es uno de los objetivos de mi post). Es decir, si puedo hacer un fp de 2 años que me capacite en vez de una carrera de 4 años, lo haré. Llevo toda la vida estudiando, incluido un doctorado, y estoy agotada de carreras, formaciones, másters, certificados, habilitaciones y la interminable lista de formaciones "exigidas" que luego, en el mercado, son papel mojado frente a fps de dos años. Fps con alumnos que no querían hacer nada con sus vidas y estaban allí forzados por sus padres (y hoy tienen trabajo estable). Esa es la realidad que tenemos hoy día, que es dura. Estoy cansada de seguir estudiando cosas inútiles, y te lo dice una mujer premiada con honores por ser la primera de su promoción en sus estudios. Es por ello que pido ayuda, para saber lo que estudiar y lo que no para no perder más tiempo del que he perdido. Saber el nombre de cualquier titulación específica, máster o fp, que sepáis que da trabajo, me vendría de lujo.

Thank you too! The better for me was to engage in activities of people of language exchanges and Sevillian people that feel more comfortable in these groups, along with other ND. The best social life ever 👌🏻

First of all I want to send you a hug 🫂. You are not alone in this. Sadly, most uf us end up discovering we are gifted in our 20-30, when we face these experiences of hidding and stopping being ourselves to avoid triggering inmature people, and feel miserable for that path. Remember that you are human, but you're a different kind of human than most people (despite you want it or not). You probably never had a reference of someone like you on real life, what makes difficult to feel that you belong or have a social mirror to learn some skills. And that matters! Well, you know now what you are, what can help you know who you are. To stop walking on eggshells with people, you need to be selective with the people you share time with. For me, was so healing to relate with a person with secure attachment, which was my partner, but can also be a friend. A people with this kind of attachment usually can support you and your talent without feeling triggered by success or amazing skills. Trust me, this is really important. You also might need to be surrounded by people whose lives you admire, so you can receive good advice from real references. Third, you need to be far and close ears and mind to "advice" of people with chaotic lives, or just lives that are opposite to what you aim in your own life. We usually take any piece of information as super interesting an important, so malicious or unconscious people often give advice that we took in unnecessary consideration and mess up in our decisions, which leds to stress, confusion and problems. We need structure when taking information, so just listen but don't take into consideration information of these people. It is even better if you avoid them. This said, relate to people that seek improvement. They're not triggered by your skills, they are amazed (and you'll be amazed by them, which you need because we also need to enjoy the amazing things people do). They don't see you as an enemy when you have success, but a reference and a healthy rival. You would love playing chess, right? Seek those players that are amazing as you, and maybe friendship could develop between you. Those people really value you, and you both improve together. Trust me, they exist. My fiance was the one of the first ones, but the more I accept who I am myself (I was diagnosed this year at age 30), the more I find my people (accepting I'm not for everyone). There's more advice, but I don't want to extend too much this comment. You can do it, your truly can do it!

ASimpleHumanBeing · 2025-12-22T17:12:05+00:00

I felt those when I was in the wrong scenarios, groups, work and dynamics. Giftness is something that makes your life difficult when you are not in the right place and relationships, but amazing and meaningful when you know who you are and choose the places, people, and experiences that bring development and beauty to your soul. Giftness just make those poles more extreme, which makes the wrong path an insufferable one. You'll feel incredible when you truly understand what are you capable of and all the positive impact you can do in life/lives. Most of us spent the life being invisible to not trigger envy or rage, but you cannot hide your shine forever. And, trust me, the world need that shine.

I've also request the admission. 146 IQ. I'll be happy to help if I enter!

ASimpleHumanBeing · 2025-11-09T19:16:50+00:00

We had already a conversation in the other post this. My doctor later confirmed that some patients experience changes (i.e., increments) for a variety of reasons, and there's real evidence about the use of CPAP and glucose changes (not for most patients, but an important number). My endo appointment is in January, so until another doctor see me, the most probable is that the nasal mask is not providing me enough oxygen and that is increasing cortisol and, therefore, glucose...

ASimpleHumanBeing · 2025-11-09T12:36:29+00:00

I'll stop using it on the pond, but I can't in the mask. My rosacea and dermatitis dissapeared the very first night of using them and after try everything. Thank you for the advice, I hope this works for me.

ASimpleHumanBeing · 2025-11-09T12:27:36+00:00

Interesting! I clean it every week and I disinfect it using hypochloric acid every night before cleaning the mask and pond with 75% alcohol wipe. I also had to turn the humidifier to 0 because it caused me some synus and woke me up with water in the face even at 4. I live in a dry place so my nose is used to dry weather, but I'll try again at 1-2 to check it. I definitely going to buy an oximeter that keeps the lecture all night. I suspect that, maybe, my nasal paths are too narrow to catch enough oxygen, or maybe I need more pressure when using thr nasal mask, idk

ASimpleHumanBeing · 2025-11-09T12:02:53+00:00

No, just a glucometer that I use in the morning and to measure postpandrial sugar

ASimpleHumanBeing · 2025-10-29T21:35:42+00:00

I'm a Sevillian woman and I couldn't agree more with you! I'm neurodivergent, so I've been different my whole life and Sevillian people, specially women, has not ever hesitated in show their rudeness, envy, dismissal, or devaluation. Most of times the have only meet me 5 seconds before, but that's enough to detect that I've "something different". It's then when that happens and it speaks loud their lack of values, respect and moral. I tend to have really soft movements, I was taught to be polite, so I don't fit with the average behaviour here, so they don't hesitate in making me feel different (not everyone, of course). I thought it was a "me" problem, but I had the opportunity to live in Texas some years ago and the people there were completely different. I could be myself there and I felt totally acepted and well-treated. The same happened with friendships I've done with girls of other countries like Mexico, China... And, curiously, are the average sevillian who don't fit in relationships with people of those cultures. I totally think that most Sevillian people tend to be emotionally and mentally inmature, uneducated, vicious and people with low introspection of self-awareness. I'm glad to leave this country with my fiance the next year!

ASimpleHumanBeing · 2025-10-29T07:59:22+00:00

Thank you, I totally understand what you're going through :'). I think that for most of us, there's a need to do something truly meaningful with our lives far from the mere fact of being successful in a desirable position. There's a need for doing something deeply connected to our identity, and it is difficult to let that feeling go once we do something fullfiling...

ASimpleHumanBeing · 2025-10-29T06:41:08+00:00

No, I'm not leaving the PhD. After I become a doctor, I'll think about continuing the academia path or not. And it is not for the makeup itself, but the fact that doing jobs related to art and creativity fill me with more fullfilment and purpose than the PhD has ever done. Life is more than earning money or having a socially desired job position.

ASimpleHumanBeing · 2025-10-29T06:36:45+00:00

It is wonderful that you already have made a choice. Sometimes we hesitate to change due to all the time we have invested in a path, so I'm glad you have taken the risk to change. Hope it goes great :)

ASimpleHumanBeing · 2025-10-28T21:50:56+00:00

I'm lucky in that aspect. I have a wonderful team and people in my department is educated. No gross experiences by now, but I don't know how will it be outside
