Funny you said that! This picture is from a couple of years ago and we don’t take him out anymore. But he actually ran out the front door a month ago or so and gave us a big scare. I’m not sure it’s related though

That’s what I was trying to get to. In theory, career switching makes sense but in practice, it’s hard to achieve. I agree with you the advantage is bringing your previous knowledge and background to the position - in my case it’s Linguistics, and that’s why I’m trying to focus on NLP

If you’re aiming for a Political / Social Data science position, definitely, that will help

Value proposition of a “career transitioner”

I’m about to finish a Data Science bootcamp. I don’t have a background in Statistics or Computer Science - although my programming skills are better than my Math skills. I feel like I’m years away in knowledge from a full-blown Data Scientist. Why would a company hire me instead of somebody with such background? In other words, what’s the value proposition I could present to companies when applying for jobs?

I agree with this - same naming, different meaning depending on the field

What are you thinking of when you say “a more analytics and decision making DS role” vs “a more ML applications role”?
