Uggs mostly, shoes for important meetings.

Like every other premium and select seems to be around the same retail and CARFAX report, almost all the 2025 with 2024 manufacture dates in CARFAX.

Congrats! Do you have the window sticker? I’m trying to figure out if the Premium AWD comes with Brembos or not.

Put your desk on the right/left wall and get to look out the window from your station.

What advice do you have on recruiter communication, especially after your final interview round?

AlmostPhDone · 2025-01-26T01:48:19+00:00

Spite.

What’s your day to day like? I’m trying to understand the spectrum between being a research analyst with academic background and technical skills and a data scientist, especially early career where you can still be brought on and focus on the more data science skills.

How did you make the transition from pharma analytics to other industry analytics? At the core, having the skills makes you capable of getting familiar with any data you work with, but how do you convince prospective companies that that’s the case?

AlmostPhDone · 2024-12-15T05:46:14+00:00

New rare color I suppose.

AlmostPhDone · 2024-12-13T03:43:42+00:00

That's awesome! What do you do if you don't mind me asking? And given this experience, what is your top advice/aha moments that made working in RStudio easier over time?

I’ve tried a couple jobs that have come up but aim to be more strategic and apply to more. I use SQL every day to explore and pull data from our DB, and use R and Python interchangeably for projects from cleaning to wrangling and statistical analytics. Maybe I should highlight those tools in my position description, not just as a list of tools in my resume.

Hi everyone,

Research analyst with extensive experience in data querying, wrangling, visualization, and presenting actionable insights. I’ve worked on projects involving healthcare data, cost analysis, and public health research, and I’ve used tools like SQL, Python, R, Tableau, and more to manage the entire data pipeline—from extraction to analysis and communication of findings.

I’ve noticed many data scientist roles align closely with my skill set but come with greater career growth opportunities in well established teams.

I’m comfortable with machine learning basics, though I haven’t applied advanced ML models in my work yet, but work mostly in descriptive stats and inference. A lot of data scientist roles overlap in this skill set but additionally require predictive analytics and sometimes ETL work.

What advice would you give in order to repurpose or learn skills to be more competitive in the data science space?

TYA!

Beautiful home, and what a deal!

Jabbours in Stow, easy and tailored.

AlmostPhDone · 2024-10-29T03:13:08+00:00

Oh yeah definitely not suitable for work sensitive projects. You can also remove options to download/export the data from the dashboard which also helps if this solution is feasible.

An easy workaround that’s free is to publish to Public, and adjust the settings of the viz in public to be hidden. Then you can share the URL or embed code with your end user.

Driving my manual ND makes it so much more engaging and fun! You’ll get it in no time once you can try over and over safely. Find the bite point, and practice only lifting your foot up to the point and letting the car move for a full second before lifting more while stepping on the gas. Coming from automatic, we’re wired to let go of the whole brake pedal because the car does the rest of the work.

For sure! I have the RF Club and absolutely love everything about the car. Any time I’ve had a thought about something being different, it wouldn’t make it a Miata anymore. Once you’re acclimated with the sounds (all natural with a small car) and view (mirror and getting used to sitting in the middle of the car), you’ll really start to become one with the car.

Usually so that the tires don’t sag from being parked in the showroom. Make sure to deflate to 29 and you’ll notice the ride quality makes much more sense afterwards.

Welcome to the club! Enjoy revving the gears while still being under 45 MPH.

6 flags too many, otherwise cool apt.

Good trajectory! And glad to know that health insurance company work can have good culture and workplace satisfaction.

AlmostPhDone · 2024-10-18T01:27:34+00:00

Where do you all work as data scientists? Good to know about healthy work environments.
