CDs- If you're fresh off a Lions win, what's the best way to leverage it to get a better job? Talk about it upfront? Casually throw it into conversation? Does it even help? Asking for a friend.

After the dismal performances of the 2000 and early 2010s, it's nice to know that Detroit has something to cheer for again. However, this is a team that hasn't won a playoff game in the last 26 years, so I'd keep my expectations in check. The only person who might translate Lions wins into a new job and fatter paycheck is quarterback Matthew Stafford, who can either become a free agent at the end of the season, or renegotiate his contract to take over Andrew Carr as the best-paid player in the NFL. But that's just my opinion.

Well, tel your friend I got a 20k raise on the spot at Cannes on my first... playoff win (sorry to shit all over your brilliant metaphor but I can't control myself, CD1). Left, got more money at the place after that, and another bump after some shortlists last year. Not sure how high are the stakes at CD level... Or how much recognition CD's get for 🦁 winning ideas.

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. What project would you advice me to work on ? (it can be a kaggle project, or a classic task that you do at your job, or a paper that you read).
I’m overwhelmed by the many suggestions online and would prefer to get a suggestion directly from professionals.
PS : I’m not a beginner.
