Talk Abstract:
So you want to be a data scientist? Seems like everyone is typing that into Indeed. What does it actually mean to land your first role? How do you transition to data science from a different field? What does it take to be successful once you’re hired?
I’m not going to bore you with the tech stack requirements (although we’ll touch on this), but I’ll mainly focus on what I’ve learned though my own experience breaking into the field, and now as a hiring manager for data science interns.
