I’ve wasted a lot of years in the Data Science industry. From chasing jobs with no room for improvements to trying to be everywhere in the industry — one way or the other, I have made costly mistakes.

Who hasn’t? The important thing is getting back up after the setback.

With the success I’ve gotten now, the biggest regret in my Data Science career is not acquiring enough technical skills. After getting a job at one of the top companies in finance, I relaxed and spent time partying and chilling with friends.

Nothing wrong with leisure but if I had channeled that energy into developing myself, I probably would have gotten my dream mentorship with Frank Andrade.

In today’s world, the demand for data scientists is on the high rise which makes the discipline present a captivating career path for students, amateurs, and computer science professionals.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that the Data Science field will grow by about 28% through 2026. Massive.

Typically, Data Science is bound to create more job opportunities basically anywhere information transmission is carried out frequently.
