Careers are hard work. You should never expect anything else. Work hard and good things happen.
chatgpt is very lazy to read pdf documents
As for the job market, yes, it's getting tougher everywhere including in the US given the moribund economic situation but it's worse in Germany. That country is disindustrializing (e.g. VW, Bosch, etc. closing and moving plants abroard). So, more and more people are out of work.
Best point is #3: Tech skills is over-rated. Talking and BSing skills are more useful for climbing the ladder.
I need to improve my networking skills. Thanks sam

Hi, I’ve completed a data analysis course with a company called Entry Level. Could you provide a list of companies that hire entry-level data analysts? Additionally, is the Google Data Analytics course on Coursera worth pursuing? I’ve heard it’s industry-certified and could improve job prospects-would it make a significant difference in my career?
Thanks Samson. More Grease to your elbow.
Thank you for all your videos, I have benefited from you. Keep doing great things 💯
From my point of View, I don't think that always learning (1) is bad because I have been working as software engineer and i can guarentee that the best thing i love about it is that i always get knew skills from new technologies, each year new skills. 🙌
🎉😊
Thanks for watching guys. Pls don't forget to like, subscribe and drop a comment. 😀
I have followed your videos like my bible. I am rapping up my lesson with Google advanced Data Analytics. I will love work with start-up
Start Ups are actually pretty nice.
I got my certification as data scientist yesterday 🎉 I am in that phase of doing projects and building a portfolio. I would prefer to start in small or mid size companies (I dislike the elbowing of big companies) BUT I believe that in smaller companies you have to know/do more. My plan is to learn MLops next year. Hey Samson, quick question: I was trying to replied your web scrapping of LinkedIn and analysis of DS jobs. But LinkedIn block webscrapping. I was wondering how did you get the data!
First of, Congratulations. - Seems its blocked and illegal now.
@samson_afolabi thank you! I just saw you live in Berlin. Me too! Enjoying the beautiful weather right now 😅
1. How often do you have to present to stakeholders like once a week and is it usually in office like a teacher would present on the projector standing or remote? 2. is the majority of EDA and data analysis done in python or excel? What use of excel do you have? 3. Is learning domain knoweldge beforehand helpful or soemthing you should just puckup on job? 3m
1. How often? Depends largely. And its definitely not like a student to a teacher..LOl 2. Python or maybe Tableau 3. Either way works. Before is preferable though.
Hello Samson Sir, I am buying 36 gb ram m4 max 14 inches laptop thinking it will be enough for data science, machine learning and AI for upto 5 years. Is this laptop good to go or should invest for 128 gb ram m4 max configuration for above or should I use cloud for higher computation? Will spending on cloud would be good or spending on the configuration upgrade sir? We would be happy if you could give the response as soon as possible sir.
Yes please,make the video on how to do the projects
Thanks for this encouragement, I am transitioning from an Accountant to Data Scientist and the past 3 months have been lovely but a pain learning it all from scratch.
I’m sure you will do great things. Learning can be painful😊

Sure I can. What kind of topics would be interesting.

Thank you so much for these instructions If I use jupyter notebook properly do i need to learn another visualization tool
Don’t get what you mean. Jupyter Notebook is not a visualisation tool.
I got it, thanks Which one the visualization tool would you recommend me to learn
Thank you.. Some day, I will tell you how much your videos has pushed me to go harder and learn more.
Meanwhile sir, My DM is still on X seeking your attention...
Happy to hear that.
Will get to it. Sorry 😔
Ive been working as a solutions analyst for 2.5 years and im still in training and i realized that im never going to complete it. I have to learn the software we create and because we will forever be creating and testing new developments i will forever have to learn those new developments ):
Great video. Thanks for this content, Samson.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great! Thank you for amazing work you are doing here.... Please I got admission to study Msc Artificial Intelligence in the UK... The program spans through imaging and data science and am interested in data science... What can I do to be job ready within 6 months into the program.. Thank you for everything you do.
Internships are a nice idea. You can think about doing 1 or 2 before you finish the programme. Gives you a good advantage.
@@samson_afolabi thank you for your response.

Thank you sir, this was helpful
Hi Samson! Here from Brazil, really like your videos, I'm a Data Engineer here but transitioning to Data Science in my company and your videos are really helpful! One question, do you think a master is required for most DS jobs? I have a statistics degree, but in doubt if it's worth to get a Master as well. 👍
A masters definitely gives you an advantage but without a master degree you of course can still get a job as a data scientist. I shared more about that here: th-cam.com/video/ZzPsJ7BdKGw/w-d-xo.html
am in data science already, but i lack a guidance
Your content is great. But 85 % of DS can do all DA work
Well DS might be able to DA work to some extent, but maybe not on the same level, you know.
