Anyone out there making it as an independent data scientist or analytics pro?

Trying to explain billable hrs to hubs. I billed 160 this month, which he said “is only 40 hr weeks” (true) - but how many hrs do you figure you “work” or are in the office to bill 150?

I’m a true night-owl that begins thinking clearly about 5 PM. I often send projects out after midnight. Early morning emails and calls are an adventure. Has anyone else had to work through this issue? Fight it or embrace it?

Anyone else crazy and buying a house right now? Part 2, does anyone have new construction experience and any important lessons learned? Much appreciated!!

Hi! Is there anyone from Deel who would be willing to connect? :)

I’m a newer registered nurse (2 years) and want to get into remote work. I keep getting denied due to lack of experience but to even get the job I have now (case manager) the company knew one of my family members and they gave me a chance to interview because of that. For these remote companies where I don’t have connections how can I transition over?

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .

I’ve never worked at a firm, only public interest and have no idea how to do billable hours.

If you were to hang your own shingle as a consultant what BI tool would you use to deliver dashboarding to clients?

Assume that you aren’t plugging in to source systems as I primarily work in CDD.

Big 4 Data Scientists, how did you exit to big tech firms? I’ve been unlucky with online applications and even referrals. I think it might be my resume or how I present myself. Can any free birds please give guidance?

Anyone know of an alternative to StackOverflow for asking tech questions? The community is super toxic and I'm looking for a place I can casually ask questions that might seem dumb without being hrangued for not providing an essay proof of the research I've already done. Or some sort of buddy system where I can ping a person of relevant experience those questions. It's better to poke someone's brain for a minute than to spin in circles reading docs/dead end articles sometimes.

What do you think when associates/senior associates misspeak on a concept during a meeting or interview?

I’ve learned something new on each project, and I’m afraid of coming off as an idiot so I rarely contribute to conversations; only after I have done research on the topic and have prepared do I speak/give ideas

I am currently working mostly in Data Analytics, but I want to transition into Data Engineering. I've applied to a couple Data engineer positions but it seems I don't have the qualifications for them. Should I maybe look for Jr. Data Engineer positions to get experience and try to move up from there? If so anybody know of any Jr. Data Engineer positions available?

Anybody interviewed for a data engineer role for Facebook? I have a SQL and Python coding interview next, any idea on what to expect?

Partner: Let’s take the data in the spreadsheet and put it in PowerBI so we can cut it up.

Me: What? It’s already cut up in the spreadsheet. I don’t get it.

Also me: Yeah! Analytics!

Any recommended courses or books on customer care/cust success analytics or marketing analytics in general?

The longer I do this job, the more I want to accept a tech job... no travel, same / better pay, no annoying clients...

Hi! Does anyone know what kind of knowledge is needed to crack the Data Scientist interview at Google?

I'm currently working in Marketing Analytics (primarily using SQL and a bit of pyspark). Apart from mastering SQL, I wanted to know from people working at Google what does it take to get there as a Data Scientist? (I'm very interested in Strategy Ops)

I plan to another 6-8 months in preparation and upskilling myself before I even apply.
Any help and guidance is appreciated! Thanks :)

Has anyone interviewed for a Data Scientist position at Facebook and have any advice on the coding and product sense interview?

Is there a good online course on storytelling with data? Something that can help structure your thought process and design choices when creating visualizations and Dashboards in Tableau, Power BI etc.

1) Hypothetically if you were looking to sabotage a colleague, can you code an excel document to throw off their numbers or calculations, (if you send them that document and they download it for use)?

Newish to data analytics. Have some experience in power BI, sql, and R. I wanted to get some exposure to aws and saw the AWS cloud practitioner as an available course at my job. Is this cert worth it? Or should I try one of the more advanced ones ? The data analytics one for example but wasn’t sure if it would be difficult to get through as a beginner. Will it look good on my resume?
