Whether you are trying to transition into data science, building your skills, or seeking to land your first data science position...

It can be a big challenge to figure out what businesses want.

And that's why I put together this list of curated resources.
7 Skills To Grow Your Data Science Career

1. Costing A Problem:

Quantify the effect of no-change in a business process to show opportunity for improvement.

Use dollar value to demonstrate opportunity.

Resource: investopedia.com/terms/c/cost-b…
2. Story Telling:

Persuading business stakeholders to take action by demonstrating the problem, its effects, and contributing factors.

Often accompanied by visualizations.

Resource: hbr.org/2003/06/storyt…
3. Predictive Analytics:

Use modeling and machine learning to estimate the probability or predict future values given business inputs.

Resource: investopedia.com/terms/p/predic…
4. Explainable AI:

Demonstrating to stakeholders why a model is making a prediction.

LIME and SHAP are common techniques.

5. Correlation Analysis:

Evaluate the strength and direction of the relationship between two quantitative variables.

The result of the analysis is a correlation coefficient, which can range from -1 to 1.

6. Sensitivity Analysis:

Demonstrate how a model output changes by varying key inputs.

Often shown in heatmaps or tornado plots.

Resource: investopedia.com/terms/s/sensit…
7. ROI Analysis:

Report an expected return on investment and track return vs expectation.

Often shown before implementation and over time after implementation.

There's a reason that companies are "restructuring" #datascience teams.

And, it's actually an opportunity to make 17% more.

Let me explain.

#datascience #rstats #career Image
Companies are getting frustrated.

In 2020-22 they hired 10+ person data science teams with the **hope** that they would bring:

1. Increased productivity
2. predictive analytics,
3. improved customer experience
4. And more revenue + profit
But instead what they got was:

1. 15 Months for project schedules
2. 87% of projects fail
3. $1,000,000+ cost for a data science team

After 12 weeks of using #chatgpt for #datascience, I've learned one thing:

Prompts are ABSOLUTELY critical.

This is why. 🧵

#career #dataanalysis Image
4 weeks ago I made a full chatgpt for data scientists workshop where I showed...

...the MASSIVE amount of debugging I had to do to get ChatGPT to make a data science analysis "work".
Sure, chatgpt still saved me time.

But I was frustrated.

And, debugging was killing me. 😡

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.

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

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...
