How to go from Data Analyst to Data Scientist? Currently working around 4-5 hours per day for 150K TC but I feel like all I’m doing is SQL queries and BI. I’m more efficient than my colleagues allowing me to get away with less hours worked. Given the extra free time I have, any tips on what I can do to get into more “DS”? Open to recruiting by EOY so what would you do if you had 3 hours per day for 9 months?

@AC1 - some advice: do not accept or even entertain anything below 120K. If it’s a startup or tech company then ask for stock also. Having recently gone through recruitment I can tell you companies are desperate for analytics talent. Just be sure to kill the technical round.

Assuming you have at least 2 years of experience and are in NAM market that is.

You literally just start doing it. You've already got the data and management is always hungry for buzz words like ML. Just get someone already experienced to vet your work.

Once you've done some rounds, add it to your resume, and wham, you're qualified 🤘

What flavor ds? I work in ds/a for meta I do a good bit in correlation models SQL ranking etc, if you want ml engineering tbh most at my company have masters + but you could always try to do a ton of kaggle competitions to learn, gain clout, maybe win and get paid/job offers

Can I PM you? I’ve had recruiters reach out for that role and would love to learn more about what it is you do.
