5 Tips For Getting A Data Science Job

[@TechLead]

I should have mentioned, the only reason I flip cans is to annoy my wife (she hates that move). I've been trying to make it into a trend. The one caveat is, if you're still single... this trick is likely to backfire 🤗

[@davidngugi001]

hehe it's working pretty well. Now i feel like flipping cans

[@kamalhm-dev]

Hmm does women really hate that move? I've never seen it though, so maybe it's true :D

[@admin7667]

[@henriherrera9744]

But what if i don't have a Degree?

[@csneddy]

I think it's story more about data analyst, not data scientist

[@anuforodominic1590]

Thanks for the response

[@firehandszarb]

My experience is that you can get work without a degree, but it is only going to help you get interviews and later promotions if you do have a degree. I have always been about learning things because i am interested in them rather than attaining certifications. My observation though is that people with certifications get taken seriously from the outset. My last SQL job, i practically begged my boss to let me write a couple of key functions to be used in queries. I ended up staying with that company for two years writing SQL code and optimising other peoples queries.

[@jarvis]

Lol the intro and techlead reference. So great.

[@KAYMOofficial]

YES!

I really enjoyed your concise, jargon-free, and direct advice. Keep up the good work !

[@samkomo4289]

You kept this short and to the point and 100% truthful. Good job

[@alaeddinhere]

Dude you're awesome ! you keep putting me on track to get into Data Science. Love your videos. All the way from Tunisia !

[@ksvrd]

THE BEST How to video for Data Science, I've seen! Hands down!

[@TheTheawe]

Economics? Bless my soul, i thought i was doomed when you said "Technical Degree"

[@bcnicholas123]

It seems like a great career. I’m a financial analyst right now but I already know SQL and Power BI. I’d like to learn Python and R so I can move to a role where I can combine my existing finance knowledge with data science

[@andresmauricio5101]

I'm a musician, I wonder if I could combine my music knowledges with data science

[@wcsdiaries]

Do you think learning to program python/java would be better than learning statistics for a job in finance/data science?

[@CantoMando]

Very helpful internship coming up 👌👌👌

[@stephenfung9535]

Hi I’m Joma and I’m going to be your tech lead for today

[@xSimpleRain]

This was incredibly useful!! Thank you for making this video. As a data analyst myself, I aspire to one day become a data scientist like yourself. I would love to see more videos related to data science such as the field, truths/myths of data science and analytics, how to analyze data and communicate it well, etc. Just some ideas! Thanks again.

[@Xiku]

This is the first video I see from Joma, one word - amazing. To the point, valuable insights , subscribed!!

[@DanipBlog]

The video in itself is incredibly helpful but just for not seeing an ad at the start of it, I'll leave a like!!

[@obibullett]

I love the references to TechLead! So funny! The can flip and the "well, that's just how things are gonna be..." I literally lol'd!

[@makoy94]

I subscribed after watching 3 of your funny and high-quality interview videos. Watching your Tech Lead intro reminded me that that was a smart move. Keep it up, Joma!

[@jbme87]

When he said: "even if McDonald's is losing money he didn't care due to his customers" I pause the video & had to like & scribe.👏💯👏 People like this does consumers a great Justice, unfortunately there isn't enough of us in the world😔 JUST SAYING

I regret majoring in Econ, I can't find work, I have little marketable skills, and I feel like I wasted 4 years of my life.

[@davidbui2662]

How are you doing now eddiebaza?

[@adorablecheetah2930]

I'm very sorry man, don't lose hope.

[@fuccckckkkkckkck]

I have been told if you get a master's you can get a government job that pays up to $80,000 in California but tbh idk how true that is but you should look into it.

[@nazmusshahadat6360]

it's okay bruh, you got this. you'll ace it, keep trying.

[@Ninjawwmmmmmmm]

@@davidbui2662 Hey man hope you see this but I'm doing good I've actually been employed for almost 2 years now in a government related job. I'm not doing something that's related to my major, which is fine, although eventually I would like to see myself in some sort of position doing analysis type work such as data, programming, financial, etc.

[@sheldona.450]

Awesome video man, looking to do data science courses soon! This vid helped out a lot! Cheers, Sheldon A.

[@JoeG2324]

so far, these are some great videos, but it sounds like when say "data science", you really mean someone with a very strong sql background and some basic stats which would be a BI analyst. I guess saying "data science" sounds cooler

[@aZnPriDe707]

Super helpful Joma! LOL the intro

[@TonyMrBoring]

needed this ... internship coming up

[@renansantos4478]

Amazing tips. I started in data science field last year and i needed to improve my skills. Your tips are really practical. Thanks Bro.

[@RobertJKimVlogs]

it looks like you did a triple major at waterloo. I feel like this and your internships helped you get past the "master's requirement" for an entry level data scientist position?

[@RobertJKimVlogs]

and btw, if you did do a triple major.. that's actually insane man. kudos to u haha

[@Captaan_Ahab]

Good stuff! Definitely taking note of your recommendations

[@hollowright]

Joma Tech Lead?

[@jmidesigns]

That was such an Awesome video Joma. Great work putting it together and the music was good to.

[@andresmauricio5101]

I'm a musician, I wonder if I could combine my music knowledges with data science

[@mccormickz]

Excellent video! Nice to hear from someone that is actually a data scientist. If you have the time, you should make a video about how to prepare for an interview or what would you ask in an interview.

[@ElmerMenoza]

I have a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics and I've been working for 4 years now in the BPO industry (Learning and Development, Technical Support and Data Analytics). Now, I just want to do something I really love, and that is something related to Data Science. I guess I would be watching all your videos to fuel my interest. :D

Thank You, Thank You, Joma! Great tips, as always.

[@Kai-en2xs]

whats your opinion on that FB and Cambridge Analytica case?

[@LordStaind]

@Joma Tech Yeah I'm curious too since you're the data scientist for Facebook. What's your take on it?

[@pileageinternational8786]

He’s not gonna answer that if he wants to keep his job ^^ weinstein syndrome 🤪

[@LordStaind]

pileage international Yeah no shit Sherlock!! It's been 6 days. He's obviously not gonna answer it.

[@pileageinternational8786]

Lord Staind Do you not read english well?? 🤣 it was a sarcastic comment that was poking fun at him because he can’t answer... Or do you not understand that explanation either?? Smh 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@nesrineachouri8796]

I directly stoped your video in order to tell you something. Thank you to say that it's more important to know how to use the data and have and impact than being technical and shit. I'm a geomatic student and we use alot of geographical data bases and I was always the one finding solutions without needing all that structures with python or anything else. And I really love big data and how to create real indicators in order to take real decisions. I losed my self esteem because my solutions doesn't needed to look that big but were based just on some logic. All other student are here coming with big programmation skills and code more that what they really need. I'm finishing my semester now and I was feeling weak near all of it and asked myself if I was made for this and I just realize that I've been into analysis everyday of my life in a high level and this is actually bigger than my programming skill but this is my strength and difference.

[@jephreyg-power310]

yep.....you are indeed perfect than the goodest. keep it UP. i got it all right now(data science). above all the headway to start with in learning data science. God bless sir

[@BlerdGrid]

HAHA...TechLead References in the beginning lol

[@vitokonte]

Great video - you have some good tips that's hard to find anywhere else. Keep up the good work

[@rongsenng]

Can I say that depends on the context of a job a data scientist does not necessarily require skills in predictive modeling? I've heard many saying that a data scientist MUST require skills in predictive modeling in order to be qualified a 'true' data scientist. Just curious to find out what the end goal of a data scientist is.

[@axeavier]

He literally had just said it isn't necessary and it's dependant on the field.

[@atothezeezee]

Watched intro, immediately scrolled down to search for the TechLead. 😀 great vid

[@Staroy]

I have a Bachelor in Design of Information Systems, which Master should I choose if I want to get good pay and interesting job opportunities? :) (I want to work with new/upcoming and interesting areas in the tech industry)

Thanks Joma! I am an aspiring data scientist your tips were very helpful !

[@alex20041051]

You forgot the last tip is subscribing to your channel. XD

[@trackerdon91]

Sup Joma, been following for a bit now, and love the videos, you give good insight about the tech world! Just a suggestion you should make a video about people who want to change their career into the tech field, and what type of other jobs other then being a software engineer, or a developer! Anyways keep it up!!

[@balazsh2]

data science without actual predictive modelling is just data analysis, change my mind

[@jamespaz4333]

Data Science without actual predictive modelling is just nothing.

[@jackchan2557]

I'm a couple months into a graduate data science job, these points are 100% valid!

As someone mid data science job search, this was helpful. Thanks!

[@manish-mk]

Thanks Joma for making this video. I had learnt a lot which is definitely going to help in future. Bdw, when you will make a video 'How did I got internship in Facebook'. Please make that video soon. I am eagerly waiting for that. Thanks!

Based on what i told they never hire graduate for data scientist role.(you are few of them who got this opportunity ) ...they say before data scientist you have to work as Data Analyst then after 2-3 yrs of exp you are qualified for data scientist job ....is this true ..?

[@axeavier]

I've read quite often you start as an analyst in the first year and you move up as a scientist in the next.

Im a Data Guy at a fortune 50 company, love my job. Make 125k+, life is good., I know pretty much every tool in data, Tableau, Python, Excel, Power Bi, Microstrategy, Adobe Analytics, Google anaytics, Domo, SQL, Mongo DB, Json, API usage.

[@axeavier]

Mind if I ask if you have a masters? If you don't, will you get one to help you move up in the ladder?

[@bobright1617]

No I dont, just a bachelors and tons of training, courses and hands on experience. If im being honest, Im perfectly ok at where im at because I work on a lot of personal projects in my free time and the plan is to have one of those take off and leave the corporate world at some point. In the meantime, Im at a decent level and pay without too many responsibilities that allow me to have tons of free time to work on my own stuff. Honestly I do about 10 hours of actual work a week, the other 30 is meetings and random corporate culture stuff.

[@axeavier]

Ah, thanks for answering.

[@nancycastillo8764]

I appreciate your videos Joma!

[@hyakushiki23]

Even though Joma stopped making videos, his videos are still amazing and a great introduction into the world of Data Science.

[@John-el5sv]

12:12 But here's the thing: If you made an interesting analysis, but no one is there to read your analysis, did you really make an analysis? This is a great point, when joined with other points mentioned in the video, basically the important thing is to convey the right information in the right way to the right people. Right information: Information that the audience are allowed to know about, and are relevant to them. Right way: Best using graphics and great presentation style and attractive way of presenting them (whether by talking or by written forms). Right people: People who make decisions or will gain something from the information you give them, or simply, people who should get the information for some reason. Depends on purpose as well.

[@vandangorade6738]

Yes! Finally! Thanks joma.

[@robertdii671]

Thank you so much for this video. I've been dancing around what career path I want to follow but there were no clear instructions or videos on expectations for this particular discipline. God bless you. :)

[@Twinsfury]

Love your videos and channel!

[@tatakmirasa29]

Dude, this is really cool 👍 I’ve been a Data Integration consultant for most of my career and a year ago, I’ve had projects where I worked as the Data Viz Analyst using Tableau or Power BI. I’ve never seriously thought of becoming a Data Scientist coz I really thought I need to do a formal course on Data Science or get a PHD in Math or Stat before I can become one. But recently, it seems like the only thing that separates me from Data Scientist is that they know how to create/use models and they use really advanced stats. Now, I’m doing Python and maybe start learning R as well (or maybe something drag&drop like SPSS). I’m gonna start reading about models and stuff as well. Hopefully it works out and be able to get an opportunity to work as a Data Scientist 😁

[@tatakmirasa29]

Also, just an idea.. you mentioned about effective communication. Although it’s pretty normal in our world to see Devs, BAs, Architects, Clients discussing about projects, i thought maybe it’s a good idea to get those people together and exchange their roles like BA will take on Dev role, Client act as the Architect (and so on)..and come up with a solution to a problem.. and then get another non technical person (maybe an actor or a writer or an entertainer) to try interpret the solution and see how effective each person are as their temp role and how effective they communicate. Or maybe just simply get those people together to discuss their roles and the challenges they regularly experience when working with each other on a project. But put a serious amount of comedy in it coz it just sounds too serious 😂

[@vivekpal1004]

Communication is the most important part of most modern day jobs, really. Thanks for the tips!
