Any advice to help prepare for data science analyst role at top consulting firms (McKinsey & Company EY Boston Consulting Group etc)? Any materials, open source platform recommended to take on freelance data science project? When should I start actively looking and applying? I am a new grad who is working in tech as a marketing analyst I’m looking to pivot to marketing& sales data science consulting next year. Would like someone with similar backgrounds offer some practical tips.
How long did it take you to land your dream job?

I disagree
Think about the components of what drives GDP from Econ 101. Net exports is a huge driver for the US. Naturally protectionist policies drive it down. Trump is assuming the US economy will drive growth through self sustaining its growth. That's very tough to do. Also US firms have a cost disadvantage if he keeps repealing free trade agreements with other countries
Also, with his focus on things like expendable fossil fuels and complete disregard for the medium-term future he's just digging the country into a big hole that it'll be harder to get out of once he's done. The isolationist view point doesn't make sense when the world is so closely linked by the internet & air travel, I'd argue he's setting everything up for either a terrible fall or at best, stagnation.
Can you explain how? I'm genuinely curious, I'm not super educated on this front. The only economic policy I've seen firmly laid out by him is isolationist, hence backing out of TPP. While this has its merits, free trade can be mutually beneficial for both sides, raising purchasing power of households and thus raising GDP.
It may short term, and his spending plans may boost, but long term I don't think it will be successful. Moving low cost manufacturing back to the US back to the US, for example, will add jobs but likely to raise prices. IBA, I agree with you - exports offer growth - however we run a huge trade deficit, no?

Yes, in the short-term, of course. When energy companies don't have to pay for polluting, that's a windfall. Long-term, tax payers will be left with the clean up costs. Same analogy applies to massive deregulation in any other industry. Also, do you think that picking winners (I.e carrier) is he job of the president?
@IBA1 yes exports are a big part of GDP, but consumption is a much, much bigger part. Protectionist policies erode purchasing power, right?
Op: ICYMI the CIO of your PWM group was a guest on yesterday's Charlie Rose. She articulated many convincing data points on this topic which support your assertion. Check it out. I enjoyed her interview.
