Honestly man, you sound like where I was 5 years ago and I don’t think your up for the degree of intensity that comes with being a full time coder. It takes a long time of grinding to get good with OOP and matrixes of matrixes in python. Keep working at it, keep grinding, but you don’t want to be in a position where your client’s IT department is PWNing you on how to code.

Appreciate the reply! To be clear, I'm not looking for hardcore analytics, but more towards business intelligence +. What did you decide 5 years ago and where are you now, if I may ask?

Oh, you would be a decent fit for that. I thought your trying to build new tech or POCs for clients.

I chose to go back to school and specialized in Neural Networks to understand large batches of text documents. We homebuilt a massive cloud service that can read and ingest hundreds of thousands of text documents and do tasks- like summarize or grade, classify, etc. perfect for reading AML contracts.

Thanks both. @K2: I know that the money and excitement is there, but with the hours we work it's virtual impossible to get to that level of knowledge on your own without going back to school like K1 did. At least maybe through Lighthouse you get exposed to Python on the job without having to be extremely lucky with getting the right project (as is the case in CF), so it might still be interesting for me. If only I could turn back time by about 8 years and change my degree ;)

You could do what D&A Consultants do here at Lighthouse , but in my opinion true money and excitement in our field is in more hardcore data science and that would require mastery of one language. Python is the most obvious one.
Money is in being able to do NLP even if it isn't production grade .
