250 plus test attributes for each sample is a little too much for me to handle... how do you talk partner or client into cutting sample size?

Presumably you would do a risk assessment and determine the risk of material misstatement to be low. Possibly take a control reliance approach.

Break it up into sections (i.e sample quarterly), determine whether the population should be really tested as a whole or if they're different streams.

Depends on what FSLI you're testing. If its Revenue then there's a good chance that the sample size is appropriate and you just don't have full comprehension of audit methodology yet. Why do you say 250 is too many? Are you basing this on audit methodology and risk of the FSLI or are you just being lazy and don't want to test 250?

I AM lazy, but I did skip sleep one night, finally got it done. It is compliance testing... after I figured out how to recalculate the numbers it got better...Partner said my sample size is too small, but I didn't test more cause the audit fee is too small too...hope I don't get in trouble...

Hello,
I’m a junior data scientist and in my current job I mostly code using Pyspark (no machine learning) so I would like to work on a side project that could leverage my profile and data science/ML skills.

I’m overwhelmed by the many suggestions online and would prefer to get a suggestion directly from professionals.
PS : I’m not a beginner.

Confused!
So I am working as a UI UX designer since Jan22. I started with a really good project (everything from the scratch) with research, knowing the user etc. The project went really well. It was my first project that I handled individually. I got another project it also went well. Then I was told to work directly with a client, it's been 2 months already we work late hours and also on weekend (asked by the client). It feels like my personal life is gone. Do you think I should change job?
