If you're struggling to become a data scientist...

There's a 95% chance you are doing it wrong.

Master these 5 things to escape career boredom (and make 6-figures).🧵

#datascience #career Image
Would you believe me if I told you it took me 5 years to become a data scientist?

I've written 10+ R packages that have amassed 2.5 million downloads.

I've consulted for S&P Global, MRM McCann, and 3 more Fortune 500 companies.
But I made 5 critical mistakes that I want to teach you how to fix.

1. I was too focused on #DataScience

2. I couldn't relate it to the business

3. I struggled to communicate the value
4. I bored them with #math & #stats (while important, they just didn't get it)

5. And I produced reports (which went in the trash)
What's wrong with my approach?

I was being a "data scientist".

And organizations don't like that.

In fact, there is a massive shift going on right under our noses...
Organizations are moving away from "Data Scientists" to the Business Scientist (and it's how you'll make 17% more).

A Business Scientist is a new breed of data scientist that:

1. Can take the requirements of the business

2. Convert them into a data project
3. Manage his/her own project plan

4. Build a business solution

5. Deploy the solution

In UNDER 90 days!
If you can do these 5 things fast, organizations will happily pay you 17% more than a run-of-the-mill data scientist.

Why?

Because you get RESULTS.
This shift is happening fast...

And the longer you wait, the more competition you will have to get one of these elite positions.

So if you want to stay ahead of the curve, join me on April 19th for a free workshop on how to prepare your career for this massive shift.
What's the next step?

Join me. And don't miss out on the opportunity to become the go-to person for unlocking massive business value AND earning 17% more than a data scientist.

BIG NEWS: #ChatGPT breaks #Python vs #R Barriers in Data Science!

Data science teams everywhere rejoice.

A mind-blowing thread (with a FULL chatgpt prompt walkthrough). 🧵

#datascience #rstats
It's NOT R VS Python ANYMORE!

This is 1 example of how ChatGPT can speed up data science & GET R & PYTHON people working together.

(it blew my mind)
This example combines #R, #Python, and #Docker.

I created this example in under 10 minutes from start to finish.

Attention Data Scientists:

ChatGPT made this web app for me (and I want to show you exactly how).

But read this first. 🧵

#datascience #chatgpt #rstats #python Image
ChatGPT is a game changer.

I've 10Xed my productivity on certain data science tasks.

But 99% of data scientists will struggle using ChatGPT (I did, and you will too).
I made 9 critical mistakes when I made my first web application.

And this caused me HOURS of REWORK.

And it killed my 1st impression of Chatgpt.

But, I have good news...

Every data scientist I know lacks some skills (me included).

But, a change in your focus can take you from no job to $145K+.

Let me explain.

#datascience #career Image
The learning path for a data scientist is full of traps.

It goes something like this:
- Python (or R)
- Algorithms
- Math
- Stats
- Make a Portfolio
- Get some projects under your belt
- More math
- Neural networks
- Deep learning part 2
- More projects (now with cats & dogs)
...And it's a mess.

No wonder why you are struggling.

And it turns out that in this economy, it's even become a lot harder with the "traditional" approach.

Why?

The time of bloated data science teams has come to an end.

And, there is a massive shift that's going on right now... 🧵

#datascience #career Image
Bulky data science teams are getting "restructured" as businesses demand more value from their investments.

They don't want 10+ number crunchers.

Especially if it takes 15 months to **maybe** get a project into production.
What they want is business value-

Results that drive revenue & growth.

And starting the year $1M+ in the hole with a bulky data science team isn't the answer.

In their place, a new breed of data scientist is forming.

ChatGPT for data scientists...

I have good news and bad news. 🧵

#datascience #rstats #chatgpt Image
The Good News:

Everyone is super excited for the ChatGPT Data Science Workflow + Shiny App that I'm going to present today.

It's basically the cheat code to stuffing your portfolio with projects.
The Bad News:

I have 4,414 registered (when I took this photo).

Why is that bad?

I have a strict 1,000 person limit on my zoom subscription.

So I have a recommendation...

What is one of the most exciting areas of chatgpt use in data science?

I’m most excited about web apps.

Here’s why. 🧵

#datascience #ChatGPT #rstats Image
It’s no secret.

Most data scientists don’t know HTML, JavaScript or CSS.

This is why I’m a huge fanboy for #R #Shiny
When Shiny came out 11 years ago, it was a game changer.

Data scientists could now put their algorithms inside of an app.

And Business People could use it!
