Could you make a video on the pros and cons of different kinds of companies to work for? Many traditional companies are hiring DS now, and they might not have the right expectation of a DS. This might end up frustration in work
Absolutely, I'll add your suggestion to my to-do list! 👍 In the mean time, although it doesn't go over pros and cons, feel free to check out this blog post I wrote earlier this year that lists lots of companies currently hiring Data Scientists: medium.com/@emmading/companies-hiring-data-scientists-in-2022-afb1a5b83c30
What if you need a lot of "mental health time" and spending a lot of time preparing for interviews eats into that time on top of your work obligations? A big reason why I schedule my interviews and work meetings back to back is so that I have plenty of mental health time in the evening. Even without interviews, I need this time mentally to recoup just from the stresses of my day job and when I get interviews, this time often gets neglected. Over time, my mental health declines and I just can't interview anywhere even near my peak performance no matter how hard and efficiently I prepared for it. What would you suggest here? What if I move my "mental health time" to the time before an interview, say, to meditate or something instead of having a work meeting or another interview right before it?
Thanks so much for your comment. I hear you, and it sounds like when things get extra busy with work, your mental health time gets pushed to the back burner. I can definitely resonate! 💛 I think the solution comes down to finding a balanced schedule that works best for you. In general, I personally found having a break right before the interview helped to boost my overall performance. It doesn’t hurt to give it a try! On busy days, I also find it helpful to prioritize mental health time at the very beginning of my day to set myself up for success.
Hey, I am a business/Data analytics student who wants to get into data science. Would you recommend me to learn the same path and get into product analyst, data scientist- analytics, and similar roles?
Hi Emma, I found your videos so helpful. Just one tiny piece of feedback, it seems too many gestures in your video, which is easier to distract the audience. For me, I would just switch to hearing your video instead of watching it if too many unnecessary gestures.
