How broad is data science? Is knowing Python enough or what other languages should I be learning?

Python is simply the code/language aspect. And knowing R in addition as well as C+ can help, but there a slew of packages you can run in Python to support. Generally, statistical knowledge is a big part of the “science,” so p values, linear regression, and other aspects helps the value interpretation. Then look into containerization (k8s, etc.) and the mechanics that support (Docker, Jenkins, Jupyter notebooks, etc.), then also the CI/CD aspects (GitHub is now being used more frequently for this). Then there’s the ML side of it: transformers, models, C/T/GPUs, NNs, and blah blah blah.

This all assumes you have a general understanding of data ins and outs as well as DB management (ETL processes, SQL, and so much more).

Good luck.

Asking for wife who's also in banking. If she got ~$100k in signing bonus in 2019 for 1 year commitment in CA and started FT in July 2020, assuming she leaves before July 2021, can her employer claw back full amount in California? Some say it's much tougher to do so under CA law but wonder if anyone has any insights. Banks won't likely care about analyst signing bonuses, but associate bonus at EB with diversity bonus can be significant. If she quits before, she won't be going to another bank.

It has been a slow weight loss but I am focusing on making sustainable lifestyle changes that I can keep up. I am so excited and proud!!
