Hi I have been working in the data science and Machine Learning field for nearly 3 years but I recently got retrenched. I have been on the lookout for another job in a simillar role. I feel it has been more difficult to get a job in this field nowadays due to the intense competition. Do u have any advice?
Hi so sorry to hear about your retrenchment. I would advise to just continue enhancing your skills and stay updated through either online courses or just reading articles on the latest advancements. Tailoring your resume for each job application you apply for can be helpful too to highlight relevant skills and experiences that match the JD. We all hate this but it will be good to train up on excelling in the technical test interviews. Maybe can also consider alternative roles like business analytics ? I hope this helps and all the best in finding your new job :)
@@natalienicolelam hmm for business analyst, its still primarily a business role first, the data part is only secondary which is used to support business decisions.
Heyy I would say I’m passionate enough that I don’t dread going to work and I’m still motivated to keep learning, but it’s still mostly a 9-6 job, and my life doesn’t revolve around it
@@natalienicolelam Could u share what makes ur job interesting? Actually the question above was me, I seems to can't find interest in this field no matter how I try, while I do have interest in another field but it's unrelated to my major. So really just want to hear from ppl who are interested enough in this field, what interests them.
It's interesting to see how fast this field evolves, and how it requires constant learning and curiosity This allows me to be involved in different challenges from time to time, and I think that is quite important in my career.
A week with a data science vlog by Nat is a great week! Didn't realise the importance of internships back in my uni days and didn't clock much ... also wanted to start off as a data scientist but realised that most of them have steep starting requirements like cloud technologies, ML experience etc beyond what you learn in school .. so i'm attempting to climb from a data analyst role
Curious question tho, now that you have a full time job, do you still spend time after work catching up on DS developments? Like reading medium articles, listening to DS podcasts or even doing side projects?
congrats but dont mean to sound annoying or rude but shouldn't your censor your signature though im around your age and felt its impossible for me in the future to ever own a place of my home, partly due to my condition, pituitary gland damaged as I couldnt work, I had sleep deprivation and memory issues after getting hit by soccer ball when I was in sec4 and got bullied by my classmate which I avoided school and n level which only went for English n level. I kept forgetting things and often repetitive, which right after the accident I couldnt remember my way some days, and when I do, the bullies followed me home and caused a nuisance by loudly banging on the door. I forgot all these but reported to the teachers about the pranks but teacher simply laughed that they're just playing, laughed while walking away which probably cause short depression, but due to the accident I completely forgot everything as memory changes and drastically failing. I simply coped myself at home ever since for the past decade. when my doctor said I have pituitary gland damaged, I dont understand so I googled search as she insisted it was due to birth defect while staring at my mom, but found on google search that it was caused by accident and I dreamt of that accident few months after and remembered everything just that im ten years late. my cousin got a bto and lived in estate next to my home even though she used to live in mature estate in another part of sg, their bto recently mop. two months ago out of the blue upgraded their 4room bto to nearby ec as the estate they currently lived in lack of amenities, none of the nearby school were even build and far from the mrt which whenever they head out have to take bus to either my neighbourhood or others. it was 1.3m which her parents, my mom and I dont quite get why pay so much for the house. but I felt its a great move for them as my cousin's eldest son gonna be in pri school next year, there's a bus stop right infront of the condo that easily brings their children to the school in the future and its within less than five minute walk sheltered walkway to the mrt although their nearest mall were way worse than my neighbourhood as both mall doesnt sells clothes or electronics. I lived in my estate for more than twenty years and always dislike it as it lacks of shop that sells basic necessities. another great move I felt was even though my cousin earns more than her husband, but only had an average family income, I felt that she's increasing her inheritance from her parents when in the future they weren't around, which we asked why dont they get those 3gen type instead but cousin's idea since she was much younger was she wanna be like my mom instead, get married and have kids at young age, as she find that my mom looked young even though have two grown kids. but her idea of getting married around the same age when my mom was married because she dislike her parents always arguing and the age gap between her and her parents which was why she chose to have kids to have the same age gap I have between me and my mom.
Which projects you've worked on and which project i should work on any idea advice and what advice would you like to give to someone who's a newbie in this field and is currently a sophomore year student with no projects and which skills should a person master (soft and hard skills both)
Which project you've worked on which one was your first project and how many projects you've made before and after you've landed a job Please make a video on it
I absolutely appreciate your vlogs that you are making I'm gonna check all of it and I've already subscribed you. Your channel is amazing and I'm gonna watch all your videos.
I really appreciate the fact that you put in so much work into your youtube channel, despite juggling between a full time job and other commitments. I really enjoy the videos you have made thus far! Can’t wait for you to reach 1k subs! :-)
Hi, how is life like after graduating from uni. Does life actually gets easier after u graduate from uni or does life becomes more difficult from there on? Also how different is life as a uni student compared to life now as a working adult?
Hey! I'd say life after uni is when you become truly independent. During uni, you have a set timetable and curriculum, with a routine of non-stop studying and exams. Your main goal might just be to do well in your major. But after uni, it's a whole different ball game. Sure, your weekends might be entirely yours now, unlike during uni when you also had to study. However, adulthood will hit you with new responsibilities like managing finances and getting a house. The peerhood of studying with friends will be gone, and you'll have to make your own life decisions and choices. Whether it becomes harder or easier is subjective. But, of course, it’ll be the best scenario if you like your job, have a good work-life balance, and a decent salary.
Hi, im share the same sentiment's on the difficulties on adulting, having just started on my first full time job. For me the question was how to have enough finances so that i could afford the big ticket items such as housing, etc given the high cost of the living in Sg. And worrying whether will i have enough money for retirement or even being able to retire for that matter.
Heyyy, yes, I totally understand your sentiment. For me, I actually developed a habit of saving from a young age, which has really helped. Setting clear financial goals and creating a budget can also make a big difference. Lifestyle choices, like cooking and eating at home, and going to hawker centers or food courts, can save a lot. For housing, the BTO option and available grants can be really helpful. It's also worth exploring different savings and investment options to make your money work for you. We're all navigating this journey together, so hang in there!
@@YNA64 LHR is 2 + 1 is more like 1.7m, downpayment wise, you are right. However, they should've aimed for Lentor mansion 3 bed compact for similar pricing 😆 Exit in that area is going to be hard with too many 2 bedders to go around. Best to buy > 3bedders to stand out if you want to sell after
Hi Natalie, I just chanced upon your channel recently. Your weekly vlogs share the life of a data scientist, and somehow "educational" when you share how do you carry out a projects/tasks. I look forward to more contents like this from you. Congrats to your promotion and new "nest"!
I am a data science student and currently learning machine learning. I feel overwhelmed as I am about to work on a capstone project. I am demotivated whenever I work on my project. please give me some tips to complete my degree.
you can take a look at the notebooks others have shared for this kaggle project! Just start with doing some EDA / preprocessing and cleaning and start fitting your model
