What it’s like being a data scientist

Hi friends, this video is a bit of a reflection on my year (and 4 months?) as a FAANG data scientist. I talk about my experience, what I wish I had known, and my lessons learned (a lot of lessons learned).

I was pre-med studying pharmacology at the University of Toronto until I finally accepted that I would make a terrible doctor. I didn't know what to do with myself so I worked for a year as a research assistant for a bioinformatics lab where I learned how to code and became interested in data science. I then did a masters in computer science (MCIT) at the University of Pennsylvania before ending up at my current job in tech :) 📧Contact ======================== youtube: youtube comments are by far the best way to get a response from me! linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tinaw-h/ email for business inquiries only: [email protected] ======================== Some links are affiliate links and I may receive a small portion of sales price at no cost to you.
