Tbh it kind of just fell in my lap. It was by chance!!

After working a couple years, my coworker asked me to work on a big production alongside him. I think it just comes naturally after you've been working for a little while.

Anxiety-inducing but exciting, all the same. It felt good to finally put my learnings to good use.

I attended a career talk and tried my luck. I've been here for almost 6 years. Best decision ever :)

For my first job, a friend from undergrad chose me to work with him on a project he had which at the time was small but eventually grew because of our hard work. I am thankful she trusted me.

"Data Scientist", Azure shop, 5y experience. Been stuck doing python dev/client team augmentation for the last 18 months (several clients).

So demotivated+disillusioned, does anyone in consulting actually do DS projects? - this is the same reason I left my last role, 6 months of interesting work and then endless dev work. Predictive models are dangled just out of reach to stop us quitting.

No longer feel qualified to apply for actual DS roles outside because I've not done any ML in so long.

I do not know if Socrates actually said this, but in my opinion it is a great rule of thumb: Socrates, the great Greek philosopher, was once stopped by an acquaintance as he passed through the markets.

“I’ve something important to tell you,” he said. “It’s about your friend.”

“That’s very kind of you,” Socrates said. “But, don’t tell me just yet. I run all information through the Three Filters Test to ascertain if I want to know it.”

I’ve applied to a job I’m qualified for, description is DMV or remote. I’m not in the area but have WFH experience so I messaged the recruiter on LinkedIn who asked for my resume. After sending my resume they say the job has changed to DMV only. I check the job posting on their site and it still says DMV or remote.

I guess I’ll never know…but was that a rejection? 🥲

Also, in general, very annoying to find out after sending resume/reaching out that a job will not be fully remote.
