This notebook focuses on two questions:
- What should data scientists think important in 2020?
- How to set up growth as data scientists?
Key take-aways and actions:
- Growth πππ
- Focus on learning new things in the first 4 years of career. Find your job needs, build up and stick to 4-5 skills as your core π€πΌπ€πΌπ€πΌ to make yourself unique and standout. But don't forget to be open-minded and have some knowledge on other things.
- Engage with the community and interact with others by sharing your work and learning from others, it is all-time important!
- Important Things To Note βββ
- Having at least a Master's degree is important for data-related jobs, but it's becoming less important.
- Know Python π, learn π, master π, and integrate π with the other languages you regularly use to build a network πΈοΈ in your brain π§ .
- Free services like Google Colab and Kaggle Notebook are the must to know, but don't completely ignore pay services like Amazon Sagemaker because pay π° means better experiences and better quality, and it might be closer to the industry needs.
- Visualization is intended to be used to deliver people's thoughts, which is beyond being fancy. It could be simple or complicate and it could be built using any tool/packages (Tableau|Matplotlib|Seaborn|Ggplot|...). However, it must be easy to understand and interactive β¨.
- When You Consider A Higher Annual Compensation βββ
- Career experience is the most important aspect
- One needs to know how to drive large business impacts using data and their skills.
- One needs to know how to build things in large scale by knowing what different scales of companies or data teams are doing πΆ-π§-π§πΌ.
- Skillsets and abilities is the 2nd important aspect
- Plotly is strongly recommended! Or any other interactive package also works. And don't forget to know how to put it in production π±.
- Get to know and apply more ides, languages, visualizations, and machine learning frameworks whenever needed. p.s. If you are having a data job in the United States, you've been on the pirate boat β-π°.
