Thank you so much for giving such a bright insight of how to become a data scientist.To be very honest I also wanted to become a data scientist and currently I am a student in master in computer application but I am not sure it's the right time to chase my dream in this recession period. I would be grateful if I get some suggestions from a experience person like you :)
It's worth considering what your alternatives are and compare the pros and cons. What you would be doing if not pursuing data science? Would your alternatives be affected by recession (arguable) as well?
You have a inspirational journey ma'am.
Awesome post! Cant believe I just found it!
I can relate to working in "un-sexy" industries. My first job was for a car insurer, but it taught me a lot of data and statistics skills.
It’s inspired by your journey Egor! Glad you like my story

Thank you Ankit! Data science is indeed diverse. Even soft engineering can be too, which is beautiful to see
I really enjoyed reading this Mandy. It made me think back to my early career years trying to juggle finding my career path and personal life.
Also, I got excited for you during the "Opportunity knocks" section :)
Would want to read about your career path as well, Andres!
Wow your journey shows there really are so many ways to get into data science, also how much work it takes to get a dream job.
Loved reading how you kept levelling up and the takeaways are gold ❤️
Thank you so much! When I finished writing, I was like “wow didn’t know I overcame so many hurdles”
Yeah, sometimes when you write stuff for others it's what you figure out yourself that is actually rewarding, I love it

Hi Arpita,
