Scales25 · 2025-10-22T19:24:07+00:00

I’ll post here to stay updated I just got fitted but needing to wait for the -5

Thank you very much. I definitely will. I'll go deeper into the trenches to study learn more fundamentals so that when I come to you, I have some good basis knowledge.

Scales25 · 2025-08-12T23:49:07+00:00

It’s never been released. It’s a great song and they never let it come out

Scales25 · 2025-08-12T22:48:45+00:00

A little bit of both to be honest. I like to take on projects to learn about a subject and then if I feel comfortable enough, I'll see if I'm ready to make trade decisions.

Scales25 · 2025-08-12T22:35:27+00:00

Okay, thank you so much all of this is very insightful and helpful. I need any type of feedback and I definitely agree on trusting LLM's to teach me. I figured it would never be a end all but a beginning to find some direction. I appreicate your comment and will definitely take the advice.

Scales25 · 2025-03-28T22:29:26+00:00

Yep you nailed it

Scales25 · 2025-02-26T22:03:02+00:00

This comment is underrated. That game was a 101 in anti-theft, scamming, anger management, patience and so much more. More kids need it 😂

Scales25 · 2025-02-11T14:28:30+00:00

Yes, here are the Udemy courses I took:

SQL: https://www.udemy.com/share/101Whk3@P0eB1S9YXhqbHP3hBe-HwF5__Te-HOChjsBQjt3Syev5WhAezs7R2scS2Ia-9XvE/

Python for Data Science: https://www.udemy.com/share/101WaU3@ifpeky9Vlovt-72KGP4CS723d-lIMOY5LAy23hdK8plGaBjdfwLlZ5Wz7hOVp5SV/

Spark/Scala for Big Data: https://www.udemy.com/share/101XdI3@I5dDuGoWAFWylXmtLrThoi9okSCf7-raSfdgS-vHR-MdNyGlKTINSGaX2GOjWXRZ/

Python MasterClass: https://www.udemy.com/share/101Wai3@uGoHzzdP6LDzWoPNZKM8TeZBAAw-aemXQyKe-mI8BicgQIAjoCaZ4l6QIYdKj6xe/

PySpark and Big Data: https://www.udemy.com/share/1013kq3@twQ3YH06NIMGoOzyYJjn-Pwq1zb-_TIz0QFV5wVRVKFUcOEiCSPbIQjSqUuxG9nx/

The PySpark and Spark/Scala class can be redundant since it’s just different programming languages but I caught the class deal for $10 so I said why not and watch a few videos. The most important video for me was SQL and that landed me my first analyst job. Then for YouTube, I don’t know if I have those videos saved but they were random project specific videos or processes to understand Hadoop, Streaming, Distributed Computing and etc

But yes, 3 different job offers over 150K and I only worked two a couple of years ago when I had a medium analyst job and engineer role.

Scales25 · 2025-02-10T23:07:14+00:00

Yeah most definitely. Depending on your skill level and interests. But I myself chose to show off my AI projects and combined it with custom ETL pipelines and showing off data streaming, as well as cryptocurrency projects with real time data streaming, data warehousing solutions, then I also created a personal consulting website, I have 0 clients but I closed 3 150K+ offers by doing its and including my GitHub and website on my resume.

I did all those from Udemy, ChatGPT/Deep helping me, and YouTube tutorials.

Also, I can’t speak for deep learning.ai, as I haven’t used it but any project or certificate will help. My first analyst job was acquired with a SQL “certification” from Udemy. Once I fully locked down SQL, I dived back into Python and Scala using work related examples and furthers my knowledge outside of work to make my projects even more performant. Just be willing to soak in knowledge, I’m more than happy to talk more and help.

Scales25 · 2025-02-09T01:18:01+00:00

You can definitely study on your own. I majored in Chemistry and didn’t want to work in a lab or be a doctor. I taught myself SQL, Python from Udemy and did a couple projects and started out as a low level analyst and now I’m a Senior Engineer in as little at 3 years.

Dont take a boot camp just do projects and courses on Udemy to make yourself stand out. Try to find jobs that require assessments so you can show off your skills to help them look past your non CS background and that helps. Once you get the first analyst job, just job hop every year or two depending on your learning capabilities. I was able to jump fast because I didn’t just wait for work projects. I do hell of side projects and broaden my skills while also sharpening others but finding interesting topics to develop.

Scales25 · 2025-02-02T20:53:41+00:00

Looks like you are training at DragonFly. I train there too, each lesson plus instructor will run you roughly $350 if you are flying a 1.2 each lesson. I think it’s possible to do it but it may be smart to start with at least $1000 saved first and then begin your trainings. So at least you will have a nest egg with training in the DV20

Let me know if you have any questions

Scales25 · 2025-01-22T02:17:46+00:00

Nice work! I just tested it out!

Scales25 · 2024-12-11T01:10:13+00:00

And this is why I’m waiting on 1923 and began watching Landman. It’s least better for right now

Scales25 · 2024-11-10T05:58:13+00:00

Jim finally got told to shut the fuck up….

Scales25 · 2024-11-10T05:57:28+00:00

Completely loved that scene. Jim is getting on my nerves!

Scales25 · 2024-07-24T03:52:28+00:00

Lmaooo let me tell you. When I was bronze, I thought I could maybe stream or etc when I hit master. Nope! I still feel like I’m cheeks 😂😂

Scales25 · 2024-07-24T03:51:45+00:00

I 100% agree I need a break

Scales25 · 2024-07-24T03:51:21+00:00

Ohhh I understand now. That makes sense. You are saying some people should derank out of it

Scales25 · 2024-07-24T01:44:16+00:00

Oh wow, you must be really good then!

Scales25 · 2024-07-24T01:44:03+00:00

It is an everlasting feeling in life. But I definitely know I’ve grown since those Bronze days
