For those of you in Data - Do you enjoy what you do? If you’ve had different Data roles, which did you enjoy the most (i.e. Data Analyst, Data Scientist, Data Architect, Data Engineer) ? Which role pays the best?

Data science is great! It’s a mix of technical ability and problem solving that I absolutely love. It’s allowed me to accelerate my career (was a Biomedical Engineer with a bachelors, would have needed more school to level up). You literally are a scientist in that you form a hypothesis about the data, experiment with it, then come up with novel insights about that data that no one knew before.

A Data Analyst does everything a Data scientist does, just with less technical skills (don’t necessarily need to code, don’t build ML models). If you’re less inclined for technical things, it’s a good job, but if you have more appetite for it, def recommend data science. Data analyst is a good leap pad for data scientist.

Data Engineers get paid more and I know many love what they do, but it’s a bit more boring IMO- ‘let’s move data from this bucket to that bucket’ every damn day. Still, very cutting edge cloud stuff and necessary for the other two roles to function.

Hope you can’t tell I’m biased 😉

Hi All, I need your feedback. I’m new & wanted to test crypto. Invested with a trader and he got me to transfer 500€ worth of bitcoins to start. Within 2 weeks I have over 3k USD in my account. He’s been luring me to invest more and my friends scared me and asked me to stop. I asked to stop the trade. I can’t draw out because they are asking to pay a commission of 20% as in the contract on total incl my investment upfront but not with the money gained to release the total in the account. Scam?

Congratulations to all the people getting a job offer in the past three months, but let me ask you a serious question.

Are you negotiating once you get the offer or are you just accepting it because you are so happy?

I understand that the fear is that they will take back their offer, but to be honest that will never happen.

If they made you an offer is because they have selected you over hundreds, if not thousands, of other applicants.
