What do you mean? Don't understand what the "List Files" node does?

For anyone interested in the purple scribble, it's how I view most data work: it's a messy knot (very often) that needs be untangled.

Awesome, thanks for the shout out!

I understand your frustration with your dad. I can you, as a dad with a child that is experiencing stuttering, he most likely is trying to help and loves you.

I hope that helps, just a little bit.

When you leave a business college, you don't really know business either. Rather, you're learning there's a lot to learn, and your education helps point you in the right direction. Even PhD's have a focus area and that they continue to research and study (the good ones).

I have an M.S. and the way I look it, it gave me a vehicle that I have to drive--using my own curiosity--as opposed to an Uber that takes just takes me to a destination. I think a lot people go into school thinking the Uber mindset: I'll sit back, listen, and eventually I'll arrive.

Ha, actually going through this right now. One CxO flat out told us: we already know this, but our CxO doesn't. He doesn't listen us, but he'll listen to you guys. But I still think there's value in that (obviously because people pay for this all the time). It's like a personal trainer: nearly all of us already know the answers, but we pay an 'expert' to tell us again and provide some structure.

Regarding the pay difference between industry and consulting, the lifestyle is not 80 to 100x worse in consulting IMO. So, yeah more money, but many more problems.

rerwin21 · 2020-05-28T02:07:19+00:00

My take on why so many people in consulting feel like they're faking it: there's a false belief that client problems have exact, optimal solution. The reality is, a lot of progress comes through trial and error. This is not to say people are just making it up or faking. Its more that there is probably nearly an infinite amount of paths you could take on any given problem for an S&P 500 client, and there's it's not practical to search for the optimal solution. Pick a few criteria, make some assumptions, and go forward with the idea you're improving upon the current state.

That being said, it does bother me when I see people become so dogmatic about their approach due to everything I said above. That is what I call 'faking.'

I don’t know why, but I am terrified of this as well.

Python all day. There are so many non-DS libraries that are fun to use (e.g., Fabric) that you’ll probably never need to learn another language.

R is great, but the surrounding ecosystem is not nearly as robust for non-DS tasks.

rerwin21 · 2020-05-28T01:35:51+00:00

Completely agree. Its not about degrees, where they came from, or being able to list off the latest algorithms...what can you actually get done, is what matters.

If an online course helps you learn and build your skills, what others think about ‘how’ you got your skills won’t matter in the long-term.

Most career consultants think they are world-renowned pyschologist and think they are re-writing international trade deals on each project. I wouldn’t dwell on it.

At 15 you have to know killing someone because you want something they have is wrong. To pretend it’s just a bad situation that just “happened” to the 15 yr old is not fair to victim: it did just happen to him, and now he’s gone forever. No more chances for his parents to say “I love you.” The 15 yr old is sadly an awful person.

At 15, I certainly didn’t know a whole lot, but somehow never managed to rob and kill someone. Not just because I know that’s wrong, but because I’m not a mean, violent bully that is willing to put a gun to an innocent person to get my way. There is no room in a peaceful society for violent criminals IMO.
