Do not invest in data science career if you are not chinese. America is in direct competiton with china in data science and that is the reason most data science teams are exclusively chinese. Plus automation is another threat to keeping skills and compensation capped.

This was very helpful😊

Always fascinating how similar different paths can be. On one level consulting and academia couldn't be more different. On another level, both provide essentially the same foundations that Jason describes here.

Very interesting!! Looking forward to more contents from you!

Typically, you have to be uber chill to get into Netflix!

Love the positivity Barry!!! As more and more companies improve their data quality the impact of data scientists will keep growing

Great interview and guest. Just some advice, the editing made talking points glitchy. Try to not have so many cuts. They cause jumps and make it hard to listen to.

Very informative and helpful content. Thank you very much!

Thank you!!!

thank you

I’m a recruiter in this space and behavioral interviewing and behavioral analysis in the interview is one of my differentiators as in many cases the requisite technical skills is table stakes. Attitude and ability to work well with others is key. Most people that don’t last 18 months in a job are not issues with technical skills but it’s behavioral.

Awesome 🎉thanks for content amazing

Thanks for sharing about salary negotiation, wish I have the same courage 10 years ago. I should be earning at least double of what I am earning based on my skills and experience

I wonder why does it take too long though? Is it really necessary to take 4-6 to complete a PhD?

Very inspirational and helpful! Thank you both.

💔 "promo sm"

is a masters in economics/statistics a good degree to break into data science

I was reading his book couple days ago, I just got introduced to him through random github book repo. Thank you for this video :) and Hello Mr. Wes!

😊

"in order to drive a car, you need to learn how to drive a car" kind of comment

Thanks so much for the insights! I’m a data analyst with 7 yoe who’s a bit lost on the next career move😅. Wanted to go into DS but kept getting rejections bcs of no commercial experience (i did masters in DS which doesnt seem to help). Will def try to go to product manager or analytics manager role rather than keep pushing into DS/ML realm🥲

Interesting insight on why we don't see a Principal Data Analyst whereas we see Pricipal SWE/Data/MLE/DS as these roles can be grown in terms of complexity which may not be the case for Data Analyst.

As someone who's trying to move from SWE to DS/ML roles, this was definitely helpful.Thanks. One request, can you bring on someone who have made the above transition and how's the journey is.

Why less views on such informative video.

Great interview, really resonate with the reality in Brazil's data scene.

How to deal with identity crisis... i felt that

Thanks for having me Daliana!

Well articulated by Barry on the ROI of a data team - internal NPS i.e. if stakeholders recommend your data team/product built by your team then thats a win for a data team hence the real ROI.

Worked with Tommy at Airbnb, he was awesome, and yes I remember this energy! too many JSON files lol

He lost all his hair after the photo!

Awesome guest! Very good work!

Typical SF "male" right there. What a disaster the Bay Area has become. There are no more real men left in that area.

Worth watching. Thank you for Valuable advices🤝

a great deep dive from Sid, this answered so many of my questions I had for a while. Thank you for the episode, Daliana.

Great production!

Great 🎉

What an inspiring guy, I enjoy your show a lot Daliana!

This was an awesome informative discussion! Enjoyed the role playing part in particular!😀

I would love to watch short videos (5-7 mins) rather than longer ones. Thank you!

Amazing! I've learned a lot about building my career. Thanks for the valuable insights!

Hi liu, thank you for the work you do.

Great! Very interesting. Very useful to DS enthusiasts. The way you both explaining things like Building connections, making a good impression, leveraging ones identity, skills, negotiation for fair compensation, is extraordinary. Valuable advises for job seekers, Maintaining optimism, forward-thinking mindset can be crucial. Saying "Belief that everything is solvable reduces stress" 👌👌👌 We are waiting for more interesting stories from your channel Daliana🤝 All the best💐

Inspiring.

Id say it is if u dont choose to shit up later

So much fun ! Thank you for the opportunity

Hello from Almaty academic community!

Great discussions
