Brushing up on my Data & Analytics skills - I could access Udemy courses for free through the firm I work for, but I like DataCamp more.
Do you think it makes a difference if I continue on DataCamp? Just to get a sense, any preference between the two and why? Or, any other learning platform you suggest, and why?
Thanks in advance!

DataCamp is great to practice on the platform without having to download anything. Udemy has a massive course list available. You can’t go wrong either way, really depends what you prefer and if you want to minimize cost or not.

Thanks! I’m also in EY :)

Datacamp was really useful for SQL to me, for learning like more of the statistical stuff I would recommend the elements of statistical learning : https://hastie.su.domains/Papers/ESLII.pdf .

For interview prep I found some data science interview flashcards on Ankiweb, and they cover the 100 most asked questions.

Much appreciated! :)

DataCamp is good but always felt very soarse to me. I'd back it up with some more comprehensive theory. Read a lighter textbook on whatever you're practicing, else you'll only know about a handful of concepts and often not even why they work

Can't speak to udemy
