Udemy course: Python for data science and machine learning by Jose Portilla

Been learning on YouTube. Channel called Sentdex. Basics as well as intermediate levels. And then practicing doing my own thing.

Datacamp is quite useful and an intro course is free. Although keep in mind that it's always better to have your own problem that you want to solve by analysing data.

Thanks everyone!

@D1 - what datasets are you practicing on?

Not much I can honestly add, but I would frame your learning around the actual subject matter, not the tool.

Machine Learning A-Z: Hands-on Python and R in Data Science on Udemy.

OP.. I use the Kaggle Titanic dataset right now. Very basic stuff but I’m doing terrible at the Leaderboard. But it’s not because of Python! If I get better at that, maybe then I’ll get to more complex datasets.

Python data science handbook and python for data analysis.

Data camp is good!

Datacamp is pretty weak and surface level imo. The platform is interesting, but their content just isn't there and is too expensive vs free options.

I have a few questions for people in consulting roles (both external/internal).

My partner is in corporate banking, but he wants to switch to a consulting/strategy-based role. I noticed people with those jobs typically have an MBA, and also majority of the job ads in similar roles has MBA as either a requirement or preferred qualification. So:

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?

Thank you all!
