Serious question, why does going to the gym and doing an intense workout raise my lidio/drive and make me want to run home and and just go to town. 😩🥹

I can’t get out. I’m a barred attorney looking to move into a JD preferred role. I don’t like being at a firm. I’ve applied to hundreds (literally) of contract, compliance, regulatory, etc. sort of jobs. I’m not looking for a crazy salary either. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. How do I make the switch? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

Standing desk people: do you get a mat or anything for your feet?

So all the anti-covid folks are pretty quiet now that we have seen a steep incline of cases in states that reopened early (Florida, Texas, Georgia) 🤔

Client on my coworkers account has requested if they can run banners on Breitbart news. Help. Get me outta here.

Is it just me or have you also noticed that during the endless back to back zoom/teams meetings, people drift away and not take down action points?

Incoming (job title) vs ex (company name).
Which one is more cringe?

I had a crush on a girl. It's been almost 2 years since I confessed my feelings to her and today she told me that she likes me too.
The only issue is she's a Muslim and I'm a Hindu. She believes we don't have a future and that's why she took a long time to confess. She is confused on what to do and even I am confused because things will actually be difficult for obvious reasons.
Please advice on what we should do now.
Should we part ways or should we fight for it?

Wednesday 3/14 FYI Island Visit thread

Comment in the below format if you want visitors or are looking to visit an island.

I have a para/assistant teacher that just wants to argue over everything. “You’re the teacher, why do I have to assess the children during break out rooms?” We have 8 kids, and I am only asking her to do 3! The other para is doing 3 and I and doing 2 with IEPs!!! How am I supposed to handle this in a professional manner virtually? Plus she is frustrated b/c o can’t explain everything. I keep telling her it’s all new to me too. Grace is not a word in her vocab. And I am feeling graceless.

Shooting stars tonight at my island! Will post a dodo code tonight

Hi all, just looking for a range, what should should someone with ~3YOE in consulting (targeting Senior Associate) expect for a base salary.

And when giving a range is it better to overshoot knowing they’ll bring it down?

So I'm not trying to be dense, but how is it worth billions of dollars to send Artemis to the moon when we haven't even figure out how to fix our own climate

TTC for a year, went to RE for a fertility check and SO and I are healthy. Other than the ovulation prediction kits, what can help improve our chances?

My manager continues to ask me to help other teams and do work on other billable projects. I’m sick of it .. and I’m going to explicitly say that no I can’t do it because my hours are taken by the existing project we are doing. Is this appropriate?

Anyone know of an alternative to StackOverflow for asking tech questions? The community is super toxic and I'm looking for a place I can casually ask questions that might seem dumb without being hrangued for not providing an essay proof of the research I've already done. Or some sort of buddy system where I can ping a person of relevant experience those questions. It's better to poke someone's brain for a minute than to spin in circles reading docs/dead end articles sometimes.

Currently in consulting where I get to do data visualizations sometimes but not always, have an opportunity to shift to a data analytics focused role. Struggling to decide as I am not fully sure if I would be competent in/happy with daily data work. Advice, thoughts? 😣 I just never find what I like…

Hi! Does anyone know what kind of knowledge is needed to crack the Data Scientist interview at Google?

I'm currently working in Marketing Analytics (primarily using SQL and a bit of pyspark). Apart from mastering SQL, I wanted to know from people working at Google what does it take to get there as a Data Scientist? (I'm very interested in Strategy Ops)

I plan to another 6-8 months in preparation and upskilling myself before I even apply.
Any help and guidance is appreciated! Thanks :)

Docket + R - I have an container running a rocker image and I’m trying to launch a bash terminal and the RStudio server (/init) at the same time. Is this possible? I tried adding CMD [“/init”] too.

Any cyber security folks here? or those interested in systems engineering? Potential role with TC 120-180, awesome team and wlb, at least compared to consulting.

Would you give a referral to someone you haven't talked to in years and don't know much about their ability?

Does your company split data science roles into different practices like data & analytics and software engineering? Does this inhibit collaboration & Where does a data engineer fall?

What are some interesting non-tech/insurance/advertising/consulting careers where data science is applied? Thinking of epidemiology and economics

What’s the best/simplest way to understand Sets vs Groups in tableau?

What are some of the best online resources to learn Power BI?

Quick survey: Do you guys think having a template package to envelope an ML model as an application would be helpful. The package could contain boiler plate template for unit test, docker image, CI/CD, database connectors etc and act as a starting point for doing that. Tech firms usually have that internally but limited options in open source.

Hiring for data scientists and BI analysts across a couple levels, DM me if interested!!

I have created Algorithmic Product/System for the client to take out inventory not-in-demand for long time to save storage expense and also provide an approach to prioritize Work Orders based on Market Demand. It’s more like an Manufacturing Plan. I want to get into Product Analyst/Lead role. What approach I should take? Any books to start with? Any events to attend? Any groups to join?

When industries refer to business intelligence engineers, are they looking at a senior level or entry level? Some of these job descriptions seem rather outlandish in terms of years of experience required like 5+

If you were to hang your own shingle as a consultant what BI tool would you use to deliver dashboarding to clients?

Assume that you aren’t plugging in to source systems as I primarily work in CDD.

Do any of the top consulting firms have analytics roles (preferably not super technical) that don’t require weekly travel?
