On this episode of Would You Data Scientist, Wendy is joined by guest Christian Cardone, Chief Data Scientist at NovaFori. Hear Christian's advice for getting into data science and narrowing down your field to maximise your learning potential. 


KEY TAKEAWAYS


-Data science isn't just about modeling, that's only about 20% of the job. The rest is about how you put it together, what considerations do you take into account to make sure it works. You need to monitor your models, will it be relevant in one or two years.

-When going into data science you should have an idea of what you want to do. It's impossible to know everything so it will be advantageous to narrow down your field to what you enjoy or what you're talented at.
 
-LinkedIn is a good resource to use to find out more about the vast data science field. Follow the people working in the field you're interested in and read and comment on their posts. Some people are happy to explain and give advice if you show an interest. It's an open-sourced community.
