Took data science courses on Edx. Found them pretty bearable. Pro tip: Play the instructional vids at 1.5 x speed and focus on the exercises

Boring as hell - never made it past the first lecture

I've completed a variety of courses on both. Edx is better for analytics / math type subjects. Not all courses are created equal so do your research. Motivation wise, it helps that they both charge a few.

I love sunny weather so much; it significantly elevates my mood, which is a free lunch! The summer in NY was amazing but considering taking a precautionary step for the winter by relocating for a couple/few months to a sunny place like Miami. My job accommodates this.

Have you heard of anyone doing such climate-based back-and-forth? Any tips or advice? Also, how’s Miami for a New Yorker?
TIA!
