I am a technical lead developer on a Digital Transformation team ( data web applications, dashboards, automation tools) within the financial services industry. The director on my team is not technical at all and also does not have a good grasp of the data that we are working with so my boss does not really understand appropriate solutions to help our clients. This causes challenges and sometimes my boss pushes back on items that I feel simply are tough for the person to grasp. Any advice?

This one is going to make some of y’all mad, but it’s so annoyingly unnecessary. The most irritating part is “is it a shirt day or a skirt day”…. Like women don’t wear shirts with skirts and men don’t wear shirts with pants. Shirts and skirts are not mutually exclusive. I’ll just leave this here.

I was hired a few months ago by D to do data science. I am not doing data science currently, is there a way I can switch roles internally? Should I talk to my coach? Or should I just start looking for a new job. I’m starting to feel that the field is so hot rn my small stint at D won’t be a big deal to other firms.

Anyone in the KPMG Lighthouse practice that would be willing to take a look at my husband’s resume and put in a referral? He’s interested in the Associate, Data Scientist position.

So engineers can now automate the writing of basic code, and potentially more complex tasks, by using GPT-3.

For those who are technical: If machines can write code, how are you going to upskill? And what are the best ways make yourself indispensable?

I am not embracing the notion that you shouldn't have to code to do data science. However, I think coding may soon be much less of a competitive advantage.
