I landed a data science job without experience. I had a math undergrad degree. I learned SQL on the job within a few weeks. I have now been with the company for over a year...it’s not impossible, just find the right team.
Thank you for this video!!! I'm a student from community college who just transferred to uc berkeley intending to major in data science! A lot of things you said touched home for me especially creating projects solely due to curiosity and marketing yourself. A lot of work to get to! Thank you again!!
This is such an awesome video, Thank you! I am new to DS, I am from a business field lol and I was thinking none of those years of experience gonna mean anything now...However, I found a lot of inspiration from this video on how alongside my DS skills, my business skills (communicating with the business teams!) gonna help me grow and contribute as a Data Scientist. Instant subscription :D
It is really hitting in the heart. like all the time you waste job hunting grinding could have been used to working in said job and learning to be the best data scientist within the team that hired you
Thats ridiculous someone said you NEED a PhD... Let his mean words push you to persevere and prove anyone who doubted you wrong! I related to you in doing side projects and having it affect academics. I tend to delve into research. Awesome video, I subscribed!
I think I would have emphasized how many people actually have Phds and a Masters statistically in that conversation, cause there's far more people holding BA degrees and doing code camps/self taught than a PhD and the salary expectations are different too
Thank you for the video, and it is very helpful for someone who lacks the confidence to find a job in the Data Science field. Do you mind sharing where you posted your projects?
Hey great story!. But how did you market or made your Seattle dataset project to be seen by the people you wanted to be seen. Because, I am still in the process of developing my followers. Any hints bro?
Would love to see a specific video on the specific projects that you did!
Ok, you kind of go through all of them in this video haha
@@KenJee_ds Haha I won't link to the 2015 news video of Jay though, that's too far

Great video! New subscriber here. Awesome advice on marketing yourself! Also, great job on the Seattle police project!
the amount of grind and struggle you go through to get an entry level job makes me wonder why we even study

Thank you for uploading this Jay!! Definitely good to hear this as an upcoming senior
Thanks for the advice man✊🏼. 6 classes left till I graduate, I’m nervous. Nothing locked in yet.
Thanks for sharing! I'm trying to transition from software sales into data science and the imposter syndrome is real. You give me hope!

Well how's it working out for you?
Awesome video! Screw that guy that told you a PHD was necessary haha
Great real advice! Thank you! New subscriber here
Great video! Subscribed. Found you when you were interviewed by Ken Jee.

Would like to see the Linear Progression project you did for rent, and the prediction model for Police department.
Thank you for the video, and it is very helpful for someone who lacks the confidence to find a job in the Data Science field. Do you mind sharing where you posted your projects?
sir are data structure and algorithm asked in data science jobs?
Ph.d is necessary?! BS!!
Enjoyed hearing from someone who was in the similar situation as me!

Damn that's so rude that guy throwing your CV into the trash in front of your face.
how did u learn data science? self learning or some course
Self learned actually now that I think about it...
Which major did you pursue at college¿ Also, this was such a wholesome video
he said electrical engineering in the video
