Subbed. The video had value.

Really insightful. Thank you for sharing

That's how being in software engineering has always been. When Data Scientist is a programmer then it won't be a new thing because as a programmer, we always learn new things. Programming is not static so not statistical, to stay in tech, you need to always learn

Wow 40k euros is like 70M Naira man. I finally completed a Data science course and got my Associate Data Scientist certificate from QWASAR silicon valley but the job opportunities aren't present. This video gives me hope, Thank you. Great content btw.

Thanks. The entire data career is draining. You learn everything and it seems you haven’t learned anything. Too many softwares, tools and skills to keep chasing. Draining to be honest.

Thanks so much Samson! Currently doing a Masters in Data Science and I am finding it super challenging and was getting a bit demotivated. This video reminded me of why I wanted to career switch in the first place❤

Where can I find jobs I’m currently looking for a job in data science

Is it necessary to do HTML and Css before python?

To think I just searched for this and your video came along. Thank you for this

Will you say even though you work remotely, you'll be free enough to have an adequate work-life balance as a data scientist?

Are most jobs WFH or flexible to be given WFH if it wasn't? Like only expect to get WFH if the job listing says so, and woild you say about half the listing are listed as that? Do you have to present in person to stakeholders or other departments in the companies? What do you think about the Google data analytics certificate. Is that enough for entry level job and teaching basic concepts. Other recommendation is mevan analytics, have you done those courses?

For someone who’s not all smart, what do you think the major challenge will be on thier journey to become a data scientist ??

with all numbers u mentioned as the median salary...is it on monthly basis or yearly?

There are Challenges in Every Profession...

I have a have a back ground in communication, and i want to divert and get some tech skills. Which would you advice as a beginner Data Science or Data Analyst?

interesting insights about the percentage of companies using complicated models as compared to basic machine learning models.

Thanks guys for watching this video. Don't Forget to Subscribe and Share. Feel free to let me know your thoughts about the video.😀

hey your video seems incompelete without all the steps detailed. How did you load your pdf into ollama ? where is the vector database?

Data science is super boring. I feel the pain of my co-worker sitting next to me when she has to wait 4hrs to train a model only to realize that the accuracy is unacceptable and then start the re-training again. Dosen't look like too many things can be done at the same time. For the learning complaint, this is general in most IT fields.

great takes from the man❤

well done sir

So I’ve been a DS for a while with a background in math. I’ve never had trouble picking up on new areas because it’s all based on math. You can study on the job. I learned about LLMs during work hours; I never work after my job and stick to the 9-5. I wouldn’t worry too much about reading the latest papers. But yeah, agree with unrealistic expectations. I spend more time talking than coding at this point

It is indeed a demanding journey... however your employer should/must support your constant learning process... for a mutual benefit.

I’ve been working in IT for over 30 years, and every 10 years the goal post change. You have to reboot in terms of learning. Fundamentals remain the same but something new always comes along. You need to have a passion for IT so you enjoy it and learning does not become a chore. That’s the nature of the beast. If you want to improve your chances of getting that “dream” job. The best way is to build something (this also accelerates learning) and showcase it at your interview. It demonstrates a multitude of skills: intelligence, presentation skills, coding, communication, and in-depth technical knowledge, to name a few. If you’re not building a side hustle project, then you most likely don’t have a passion. IT is vast so find the area that excites you the most and excel in it. There are no short cuts in becoming competent, competition is too great. With AI, this is literally the best and easiest time right now to learn anything, and it will only get better. You can’t pick IT as an industry just because you want to make big salary because your skill set will always need updating. You need to enjoy what you’re doing and you must embrace change.

Imagine being in my position. I started 2 years ago at the age of 48 starting from zero , playing catch up to to people like you, having to learn coding, data analytics, data engineering, data science, machine learning, llm's, lang chain, rag, agents, my brain is going to f@#$ing explode. once llms hit the scene I knew this was the point of no return and so here I am. embrace it.

If you stop now you will be behind forever it's so much happening now

I really like your points, especially the aspect of one considering the business perspective. What organizations are interested in is how the code you have written can position the better for increased revenue - increase market targets or sales for higher profits.

Great video But after coding, you didn't use ollama

Thanks guys for watching. Let me know if this was helpful for you. And don’t forget to subscribe.😁

😂😅

Role overlap and confusion between different teams is another big issue. If someone else is doing your role in a related team, the risk of getting pushed into work you weren’t hired for increases. Incredibly hard to push back, if you see it happening (and it can’t be resolved) then start applying elsewhere. For me, this meant moving cities, countries. Not sure other jobs are better though. Save, invest.

thank you sir

(1) Sad : The only thing that can be actually SAD about Data Scientists is if their role (DS) were to become REDUNDANT. (2) Competition : What has been referred to as 'competition' are actually the same folks who share your 'interests': those who understand your curiosities-&-likes that others don't get. (3) Dark-Side : Anything but destroying human-life, communities, or the HOME-planet is actually much on the BRIGHT-side.

It is crazy. I am a trained data scientist, but I build ETL pipelines, dashboards, some software engineering commitments all the while working on my communication skills. It is a lot to do, and while I am not really bothered by having a lot of work, the pay is ridiculous! I am highly underpaid and it is frustrating!

How can i get my data entry roles?

Wall done!!

Thanks for this, i would like to ask where one can learn all these. Do you have a course/vidoes where you teach all these ?

ALX data science actually covers the mathematical concepts. They alco cover concepts like storytelling, communication, collaboration, git, and cloud. I have not experienced other bootcamps but ALX is quite extensive and goes for 13 months. Their python segment is also quite intensive covering software testing, algorithms. I would highly recommend.

Valuable

How about an aspiring data scientist from Nigeria how can she work remotely

Thanks for watching guys. Let me know your thoughts. What other topics do you feel should be added to Data Science Courses?

This is the best explanation of what a data scientist does and whether it is worth doing at all.

Sir I want to get private conversation with you. Data dreaming to become a data scientist. I need someone I can talk to for guidance before applying

The "secret" of long term success in tech (especially in areas of creation, design and development) is to be prepared to constantly train, stay up to date and be flexible in terms of areas of specialization. As you have clearly realized. 🙂🙂

Thank you for this

Thank you! Subscribed. I will be back in 6 months to provide update on my journey.

Personally i dont think any of these are sad actually. Its just the job market

Thanks for all you do. I have been watching your videos and it's been helpful as I am trying to go into tech. But between MacBook Pro and hp pavilion core i7 which do you recommend.

As a current data scientist, I agree with everything you’ve said but also with a few comments as well. Tech in general we are expected to constantly learn/upskill and that can get tiring after many years
