(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home1/moderna7/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6131I recently changed majors, and I am now completing my undergraduate degree in data management and analytics. I am pretty early in my academic career, but I wanted to say that your podcast and site has been very motivating for me. Thanks for all of your work!
]]>Data analytics or data science? I have a twitter account where I post jobs in data science I come across that require 3 yrs or less of experience:

For data analyst jobs (at least the non-Silicon-Valley definition – that doesn’t require machine learning), there are a bunch that I think would be entry level friendly. Check out the nonprofit sector for starters.
]]>For this first go-round, I’m making it up as I go, so sure – submit something already made!
]]>Thanks!
]]>I’ll continue to add to it, too.
]]>I also listened to episodes 00 and 01 of the podcast. Good stuff!
]]>Really like it!

On the purported “stanford phd” on the second linkedin page: here are the 1500 or so stanford phds from 2008: https://searchworks.stanford.edu/catalog?utf8=%E2%9C%93&f%5Bgenre_ssim%5D%5B%5D=Thesis%2FDissertation&per_page=100&range%5Bpub_year_tisim%5D%5Bbegin%5D=2006&range%5Bpub_year_tisim%5D%5Bend%5D=2010&search_field=dummy_range&view=list&range%5Bpub_year_tisim%5D%5Bbegin%5D=2008&range%5Bpub_year_tisim%5D%5Bend%5D=2008&commit=Apply

I actually checked 2006-2010. No Cordan.
Granville is a blowhard – his comments on primes are laughable (“prime factorisation via data analytics”), and his suggestion that one might use a “fast” calculation of pi to generate pseudorandom numbers shows a deplorable lack of computer science knowledge (any first year CS student could prove that that cannot cost less than O(n) time per random number extracted from the sequence – and O(n) space to track the state required to calculate a sequence of length n – whereas there are plenty of existing (good) generators that are O(1) in each).
I’ve occasionally landed on one or another of his “data science inventions” (eg: “hidden decision trees”) which, on close inspection, have turned out to be either pedestrian (insofar as his descriptions can be deciphered) or garbage.
]]>I’m the Director of Marketing at Elder Research and noticed some referrals from your site when i was looking trough our website analytics. I noticed that Elder Research is listed in your Charlottesville Data Science Internships post at https://www.becomingadatascientist.com/2015/02/07/charlottesville-data-science-internships/
I realize this is an old post but if you could change our web address to our new URL I would be very grateful. The new URL is http://www.elderresearch.com rather than http://www.datamininglab.com.
Thanks for your support.

I love your blog and tweets. It’s encouraging to see women working in Data Science and willing to share their journey.
A topic I’d love to see you poll or talk about is: metros which are friendly to folks transitioning into Data Analyst/Scientist roles.
I’m from Dallas, TX and have a social science background. I’ve acted as a data reporter for 4 years, and lead the Women Who Code community in my area. Much of what I’ve observed and experienced is that employers in my area are generally not open to hiring analysts who don’t have a traditional background (i.e. Bachelors/Masters in Information Management, Computer Science, Engineering, etc.) — bootcamp graduates, self-paced learners, etc with portfolios don’t seem to have much success, either.
I’m wondering if any folks in the Becoming Data Sci community have advice on cities that may be more open to non-traditional backgrounds, have more Analyst roles, are more data literate, etc.
Some areas I see beyond SF & NY which may potentially fill this description are Chicago, Seattle, and Boston.
Anyway, I think this could be an interesting topic for many!
Thanks in advance :)
Warmly, Christine
Thanks
]]>No, I personally don’t think a Master’s degree is necessary, but it can help. Both to (unfortunately) show “proof” of the skills you may already have, and for the larger companies with HR systems that have cutoffs by things like degree.
Not to say that degrees are useless – I definitely went a lot further with math in my Systems Engineering masters program than I would have otherwise.
However, I encourage companies to put things like “masters degree or equivalent experience” if they feel the need to put it. I think real-world experience working with data can be more important than a degree!
]]>Oh, I had to stop the applicants after 1 week because I got so many :) I have one now! But thanks!
]]>But if it wasn’t for Oracle BI, I would not have discovered tableau and other visualization tools. I am looking to learn Python or R but don’t know which of these can get me to speed.
I’m going to follow your website to help me reach my goal of getting to analytics… it can easily get overwhelming most of the time!
Do you need to have a Master’s degree to become a data scientist?
Thanks again!
