Interested in being a data scientist, a have a degree in Bussiness without a coding or statistical background. Would a 6 month online data science boot camp fully prepare me for the role? Is data science hard ? Is it easy ? What’s the day to day ? Would love to have some insight on this ?

Interested as well - I have a decent CS degree but didn't pass the stats technicals for my DS interviews (hence in consulting lol)

Look at some job postings for positions you might be interested in at some point and see what the education and experience requirements are. My guess is most roles are probably going to require either a degree or significant work experience using DS skills - probably both. The online course might be a good way to get an introduction and learn some of the basics (if it's free or inexpensive) and to better understand the subfields and to help you know for sure you're interested in it before you dedicate time/money toward further education.

Hi Fishes,
I've been offered for Engineering expert position at Novartis India. I've received offer letter 2 weeks back and my DOJ is updated to Mid December. I told the HR that my current company's last working day is on mid January and resend the offer letter with mid Jan as my DOJ. But they told that they can send the revised offer letter 3 weeks before the joining date.
Is this normal process? Has anyone gone through similar experience?

I’m a designer in the planning/landscape architecture dept. of a CE firm. Extremely frustrated that after 4+ years and multiple asks, I’m not getting the in-field construction experience I’ve asked for. I know that my designs could be better if I could see how things are actually built but I get slapped in the face with “I need you in the office designing/drafting” or “there’s no budget to have you go out” and then sends an intern to inspect instead. I’m 5 yrs out of college. Any advice?
