    General feeling of "lost" advice

    Just start doing things. Books and courses are to get you started but they need to be complemented by actually doing things otherwise you only learn a very theoretical version. I am as guilty myself of this as anyone. I think both options are good. Getting a job will teach you a lot on how the...

    Any Data Analysts here can drop some advice?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I think you are spreading yourself way to thin here. It is good to take these courses just to be able to know about it but deep learning is something that fits a limited problem space like image, video and voice very well but will be very limited in a business analysis setting. Also I think that...

    Any Data Analysts here can drop some advice?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    If you have no education background and want to get into the data analysis field I highly recommend specializing in qlikview or tableu. There is a huge market for dashboard developers since most larger companies has one of these platforms. Both these programs are so advanced that doing anything...

    Scaling consulting / Contracting

    Thanks you all for many great ideas! I never really thought about about education before. There is this site called datacamp.com that do sell instruction videos in data science I subscribe to through my company. Their instructors are top notch people, often the creators of the tech they...

    Germany's Samwer Brothers - Fastlane Case Study

    I think it is great but how do you find out what to clone? If you wait to long you will be behind and if you are to early it might be a crappy idea. I think they just mindlessly copied Groupon when that was new for example and that was a failed model.

    I used to work in a place that had a contractor that built a web interface for showing data in a database that was updated twice a year. He got a decent monthly fee for basically uploading an excel file to the database twice a year and be available to fix anything in 24 hours if it broke...

    Scaling consulting / Contracting

    You really hit the nail on the head here. I do invest the company's money in the public markets mostly because tax reasons but I am happy if that beats inflation and give me a bit extra. For investing in another venture I think it would be foolish to try to run two companies at the same time...

    Thanks for a great reply! Funnily first real job was actually working as a campaign manager at an Adwords consulting company. I am listening to your Soundcloud recording and I think your point of trying to take on small projects and see if any patterns come up make perfect sense.

    Scaling consulting / Contracting

    It's not a bad idea but I am afraid the gigs are too diverse to train people for. Basically what clients want is someone that is part software developer, part statistician, has a quantitative degree and preferably worked at a reasonably well known tech company. Data science is such a new concept...

    Scaling consulting / Contracting

    Currently I am a contractor in the Data Science space. It was a great move and I more than doubled my salary overnight switching from being employed. I had no problem finding gigs so far but the actual work is really getting to me and it it basically just sort of a "midlane" approach. In my...
