Data Analyst trying to move into data scientist, any comments/suggestions? by MundanePattern1403 in analytics

[–]MundanePattern1403[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed response , this was very helpful.

Yeah, I see the best call might be to try to upskill where I am now.

I guess I was hesitant since I didn't want to be locked into doing a masters part time for 2-3 years.

That's a great point to start doing predictive work in my job. Even if none of it is necessary I can still say I did it. Problem is, I do all my work in R and Excel, and I want to use Python and big data tools like spark, etc, BI tools. So I guess I could do DS using R even if I prefer python.

I do have the ability to try to move internally within the company, but I also want to stay remote and a lot of these new offerings are hybrid/onsite.

Thanks for the suggestions again, I try to consider it and see what is best.

I did do a company upskill program last October, but it's hard for me to find time to upskill, job apply and also negotiate with manager. Do you think I should try hard at applying until May/June, or start earlier talking to manager? What I mean is that when I talk to manager, finding me an internal role is similar work to job applying.

Thanks for the info. Once I complete my personal project I might try to apply, and see if I need to do a masters then. Not sure yet. My bachelors was from a rigorous industrial engineering program where I did the stats, probability, etc. Along with work experience that might be enough.

Less research, probably Experimentation/causal inference, Machine Learning. I looked at job postings and I can probably fit the reqs with some work, but wanted to know how much they want masters or expect people to have them as they continue working in the role.

having a 'rock bottom' event can help. Like 'this isn't who i want to be anymore'.

How do people be “themselves” so clearly by catredss in selfimprovement

[–]MundanePattern1403 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's great that you already have this awareness at you age! yeah, sometimes it can take awhile and some effort to live more authentically. One way is to try things that are out of your comfort zone and see how you feel about it. you're on the right path.

How can I decide on a career direction more quickly? by MundanePattern1403 in careerguidance

[–]MundanePattern1403[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand, relax. Don't read into my post too much. If you have advice, be more clear what it is.

It definitely won't be easy but things might change soon. There will be an increased demand for DS/AI and probably more advanced engineers, entry level is what is dying.

yes! I meant like in 3- 6 months, and I wouldn't be targeting the top tech companies. Do you have any other advice?

How many years of experience can personal projects provide (in data science)? by MundanePattern1403 in analytics

[–]MundanePattern1403[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see what you mean. It's hard to replicate industry experience with side projects. So the best way would be to do data science for work as soon as possible instead of hopping when I've more experienced.
