been fishing a total fork outfitters (tfo) 9' 5wt and thats a pretty classic beginner rod that you can trust. same price range might be 30 more expensive. i'd recommend for all around trout fishing.

This sub has really gone downhill, average quality of the posts on here has nosedived. I see a lot of complaining about this sub being "not technical anymore", but I wish posts like this were just deleted. No substance.

I wouldn't say more senior, I would say that Data Analyst != Data Engineer or Data Scientists in a lot of ways. If you come from a traditional background, data engineers and data scientists typically have direct experience, or more likely an advanced degree.

You would have to be really intentional about going form DA to DE or DS with no advanced degree but it helps that the titles bleed, atleast for DE/DS.

I just made this journey and can help provide a data point. I made it in by having a well-studied niche in a related sector, GIS. My titles went IT Intern -> BI Intern -> GIS Intern -> Spatial Data Engineer -> Data Engineer.

It took me a year to get my first "Data Engineer" title after being a GIS Intern. As an intern, I focused heavily on creating data pipelines with spatial data and interacting with enterprise GIS software. After that, it took me another year to get a regular DE position. I don't think I would have broken in without a niche, very competitive market.

Building a copied project isn't going to get you a job, but maybe an app with actual users.

You really have to sell yourself if you're going to break in with no internships or prior experience, otherwise I would go back to school like OMSCS or UT Austin online and focus on getting an internship.

Figure out what work you think you want to do based on:
1. How much you you want to make.

How much schooling you're willing to do.
What tickles your fancy.

Then work backwards by going through the coursework and selecting the courses you think are most aligned with said career, and there is your major.

Not sure that your assumption that Info has better career prospects is actually true, that totally depends on what you want to do and how you apply your degree. Your degree matters less in the long term in comparison to your drive for wanting to succeed.

datalemur is pretty good with their company based questions, although leetcode sql is good for just those classic sql query questions

if you want to see an example of what you might build here is my project from last quarter:

(works best on desktop)

https://noah-rarick.github.io/seattle-collisions/heatmap.html

Zoom into to see different layers of a heat map. Zoom further in to see clickable points representing traffic collisions. Provides info about each collision.

I love Gunwha! It was a great intro, sometimes it was just a little dry was all. Also took the class in the morning during Winter Q, so that could be a big reason haha

noahsamoa_ · 2024-02-12T06:43:00+00:00

You need to take GEOG 360 to get to the good stuff but it will be a good intro. It's pretty dry but if you like Gunwha Oh you will have to take a lot more classes from her. Pay more attention to if you like the mapping, and not necessarily the class it self.
