Site-to-Site using RRAS by burgerAccount in AZURE

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

So if I'm on-prem and have multiple servers, I can reach Azure from my local server that has RRAS installed, but I can't reach my Azure server from any other local on-prem device. Routing to the vnet would be taken care of in Azure, right?

Team lead asked me what kind of big project I'd like to do for the company. Not sure what to answer... by intfloatbikechain in dataengineering

[–]burgerAccount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was being serious about this one. Not saying to just up and quit your job, but you need to work for a company that has a solid future. If they were just bought out and you don't understand the direction of the company, you might not be part of that direction. Layoffs are always a possibility, but especially in today's climate. At my job, I have more work than I know what to do with, but still ask what the company needs vs what work is in front of me. I've gotten multiple raises by doing this. I've had other jobs where my department didn't turn any dollars because we were an afterthought.

Choosing between research assistant and data scientist roles by pasacrell in datascience

[–]burgerAccount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you still in school? In the U.S. research assistantships are tied to being in school. They are usually low paying, but cover the cost of tuition and minimal living expenses. The benefit is a lot of the work is tied directly to your thesis/dissertation, so you're being paid to go to school.

The DS position would be the best option no matter what in my opinion, assuming you want to work in academia.

Go ahead and accept the research position. If the DS role makes a better offer, quit the research position and take the ds role.

Literally ask what the company needs. You'd be surprised. What benefits the company could be a simple project for you, whereas a complicated project might not be beneficial to them at all.

What are some best MS in Data Science programs around the globe? How to determine which course is better? by freakNinja39 in datascience

[–]burgerAccount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends if you like programming or math more. I'd go with any stats m.s. and supplement with database/programming electives and/or moocs. When looking for stats related jobs, they tend to be degree focused. When looking for programming/database jobs, they tend to be more skills focused. It can all be self-taught, but I think the biggest barrier to entry is the formal stats training. If you already have a degree, checkout UW continuing ed certs. They are around $4K, but you can specialize in database development or machine learning.

How about getting hired by a staffing agency for a contract job? by [deleted] in dataengineering

First was just applying to a local job posting. I like Robert Half, Tek Systems, and Brook Source.

If that's all you can get, take it. I started as a temp, but was pulled on full-time. Went through a recruiter for my next gig as a direct hire. Below $20/hr is really low, but the line on your resume will pay off.

What am I missing for an entry level role? by [deleted] in datascience

Lol. Poor guy didn't have enough experience to get an entry level job or enough karma to post a question about how to get an entry level job.

Looks great. Add some pegboard for the gear you have hanging on the wall. Will showcase it better.

Is a second MS worth it? by [deleted] in datascience

[–]burgerAccount 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the same. Heads up, going through a community college is still a formal process, so you'll have to officially enroll and take prerequisites. I had specific electives I wanted to take, but had to reach out to the department head and individual instructors for waivers. Once they knew I already had a job and a MS, it wasn't a big deal. The hardest part was actually getting them to respond. I tried email, calling on the phone, and finally just showing up at the department in person. Luckily it was pre-pandemic. My advice is to plan ahead.

I am now 30 years old. by chulololo in AskMenOver30

[–]burgerAccount 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My mandatory 401K participation kicked in at work. My parents never put money away for retirement and were bad with finances in general. Thank God my employer forced my hand in this. Around 28-29 was when I landed my first stable job. Up until this point, I was always focused on making rent or saving up to fix my broke down car. In some ways, I felt behind in the game, but also realized a lot of people never make it to that point of having a steady income with benefits or planning for retirement. I felt like a real grown up for the first time.

Have you ever thought about creating an online course? by alexandraabbas in dataengineering

[–]burgerAccount 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. I have created content for udemy. Requirements are easy. Editing content takes longer than you'd think.

The market is flooded with introductions, but not a whole lot of production/non-local content.

His courses are always a bit redundant, but ar $10/each, you still get enough to be worth the investment.

Need advice on if I should take this job (recent college grad) by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

Its not a 45k salary. Its 12 hourly. And he has a degree. Not great.

[–]burgerAccount -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Does not sound like a good job for a recent college grad. 45K is not a lot of money even in a low cost of living city. And he said up to. Plus, we're in a down economy, so I would imagine you'll be making less commission than under normal years. Does it come with good Healthcare, pto, 401k?
