My favorite meetings are the Friday afternoon internal meetings where people yell over each other because the project plan is at high risk.

I remember those days... just remember that it’s not the end of the world, seriously. Everybody makes mistakes and that gives them a chance to learn and grow. Some boomers, including myself, get too worked up because we put too much of our lives into work that we neglect that there’s so much more to life. Don’t kill yourself over it

Heard the story of a team lead who would meet with everyone for a team update Friday 4pm. They wanted notes etc all prepared for their executive meeting Monday 8am. Every time there was strong feedback and everyone would work all weekend updating slides etc.

Hello,
I’m a junior data scientist and in my current job I mostly code using Pyspark (no machine learning) so I would like to work on a side project that could leverage my profile and data science/ML skills. What project would you advice me to work on ? (it can be a kaggle project, or a classic task that you do at your job, or a paper that you read).
I’m overwhelmed by the many suggestions online and would prefer to get a suggestion directly from professionals.
PS : I’m not a beginner.

Annual review advice?
I feel very secure in my long-term employment and am doing very well. I work at a midsized boutique with a generally solid culture. I’ve been described as “rising star/golden child” etc., glowing reviews. The thing is that I’ve had a tough year with absent mentors, low interaction/training (there are extenuating circumstances with my SA.) Do I mention what changes I need to see to stay here? Or just go along, accept my good reviews and bonus, and keep my head down?
