I got a BBA in data analytics and currently interning at an agency where I am not really able to utilize/learn python. For someone who’s fresh out of college and wants to polish/increase their python skills for data analytics purposes, what would be the best way to start? There is a lot of material online for python which can be overwhelming so any guidance would be appreciated

I like DataCamp for intro. Then go through Hands-on ML by Geron. Then practice with real data as +1 projects at work, volunteer elsewhere, or build your own stuff. Don't bother with Kaggle.

How do you deal with irrational anxiety whenever your boss is saying “hey let’s schedule 1:1, I’ve got a few things to discuss”? I’ve never had a bad performance rating before, quite the opposite I have received positive feedback. I also know 99% of the time this meeting is harmless and my anxiety has been proven wrong many times. But I’m still always on edge whenever this kind of meeting is scheduled. 😩

Also, yes I do go to therapy and have discussed this issue, but it hasn’t helped
