I’m about 2 years into data science with beginners Python skills and strong sql. Trying to build up a portfolio. For any who took the aws machine learning cert, are the tools/skills there helpful for private projects I can build on my own time? How long did you study before you took the exam?

Yes. Exam 1: 20 hours (def over prepped); next one about 6 weeks (prep was about right)

What do you mean by next one?

Has anyone ever posted a general marketing position? We have an open position on our marketing team but we are unsure what type of position to offer. We have a wide variety of needs but don’t necessarily need to have this future person have all these skills. For example we need someone with great copywriting skills and also need someone who is great at digital marketing. This person doesn’t necessarily need to have both skills but if they did great, but if only one, great too.
