Why you should not be a data scientist ✉️ NEWSLETTER: https://tinahuang.substack.com/ It's about learning, coding, and generally how to get your sh*t together c: I've been a FAANG data scientist for over a year now. While that's not a lot of time, I've had the amazing opportunity to work with super star data scientists, be mentored by them, and even start mentoring more junior data scientists! I've learned a lot about what it actually means to be a data scientist. In this video, I talk about why you should not be a data scientist. 🔗Affiliates========================My SQL for data science interviews course (10 full interviews):https://365datascience.com/learn-sql-for-data-science-interviews/ 365 Data Science: https://365datascience.pxf.io/WD0za3 (link for 57% discount for their complete data science training)Check out StrataScratch for data science interview prep: https://stratascratch.com/?via=tina🎥 My Filming Setup ========================📷 camera: https://amzn.to/3LHbi7N🎤 mic: https://amzn.to/3LqoFJb🔭 tripod: https://amzn.to/3DkjGHe💡 lights: https://amzn.to/3LmOhqk⏰Timestamps ========================00:00 Intro01:14 CS, stats, business03:48 scrappiness 05:53 constantly learning 07:39 the scientific method 09:32 marketing 11:19 the mistake a lot of people make📲Socials ========================instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hellotinah/linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tinaw-h/ discord: https://discord.gg/5mMAtprshX🤯Study with Tina ========================Study with Tina channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCI8JpGrDmtggrryhml8kFGwHow to make a studying scoreboard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAVw910mIrIScoreboard website: scoreboardswithtina.comlivestreaming google calendar:https://bit.ly/3wvPzHB🎥Other videos you might be interested in=================…
