It's (not) about the data!
Andrea Coifman

Given the vast amount of resources we have online on becoming a data scientist, it is only natural to feel overwhelmed and lost. Those who manage to start a career in the field, eventually spend majority of the time trying to find their dreamed (non-existent) position [Financial Times, 2017]. I am not here to give you extra unnecessary resources, I am here to showcase how you can leverage your interests to achieve a successful data science career. Bring passion, curiosity and a computer. You need no more!
