Let me tell you about my story.
One year ago, I was working as a freelancer.
I had a big dream of becoming a data scientist, but I knew it was a risky move because I had no background in coding or computer science.

Mastering Data Manipulation in Pandas
My bread and butter when it comes to data cleaning in Pandas. You can achieve pretty much anything using this:
pandas.DataFrame.apply
It is a powerful tool in pandas for applying functions to rows or columns. Here are some key uses:

I thought I knew Python like the back of my hand, but then I encountered a problem that made me realize how much I still have to learn. It was humbling and frustrating, but also motivating and inspiring. Python is not just a language, it’s a journey

2) Professor Leonard
3) The Organic Chemistry Tutor

A data scientist is like a bartender, except instead of mixing drinks, they mix data sets. And instead of getting people drunk, they get them insights.
Bagged data scientist position but my fundamentals aren’t 100%. Will focus on tightening up loose ends & grasping concepts fully. Only a couple of hrs of free time everyday makes it a challenging task.
I have gained a lot of new insights into Python in the last year, and I wonder if anyone would be interested in learning from my experience. I am thinking of sharing my knowledge through regular threads
A few things that I've learnt in the first 10 days of my job as a Data Scientist:
1) Keep an eye on the memory while running the code, frequently delete variables that are no longer required to save memory. (when you're running it on a server)

On my 25th birthday, I'm leaving Mumbai with a heart full of gratitude for the people and experiences I've shared. As I embark on a new adventure, I'll always cherish the time I spent in this incredible city.
Thank you, Mumbai, for everything! ❤️🙏
Stuck in a learning dilemma! So many new things to learn but not sure where to start. Asking for advice from experienced professionals. What's your go-to strategy when faced with an overload of knowledge?
Despite this, I saved up money to enroll in a data science bootcamp and began my journey towards achieving my dream.
After completing the data science bootcamp, I faced months of unsuccessful interviews.

I received a few dms asking me for data science roadmaps, honestly speaking, there are tons of resources out there from excellent instructors namely Krish Naik, CampusX, Codebasics etc... Please check their YouTube channels. All the best💯
My work experience:
I'm fortunate to be a part of a team that's friendly and supportive.
The entire data science team in my company has been incredibly helpful, and I couldn't have asked for a better group of colleagues to work with.

For the sake of transparency, here are the statistics from my recent referral post for the Data Scientist position:
Total inquiries received through DMs: 110+
Number of candidates outside the specified location: 31
Candidates interested in a remote offer: 12
Total applications
I refused to give up hope and kept persevering.
Finally, my hard work paid off and I landed a job as a data scientist just three months ago.
It's been an incredible experience so far, to be honest, I had my doubts about whether I could ever achieve my dream.

My 2024 Resolution would be:
1) Try to lose 10-15kg weight
2) Practice Meditation
3) Get deep into Math
4) Learn new Data Science related stuff
5) Network like CRAZY!
My tendency to get distracted by new and shiny things is the main reason why I couldn’t accomplish much in 2023. In 2024, I plan to focus on one thing at a time and complete it before moving on to something else 💪🙌 💯
A couple of years ago, I was at my peak, driven by a fierce desire to excel. As time passed, that energy seemed to have slowed down. But now, I'm all set to revive it, even stronger than before – with a stealthy and lethal determination.🚀
I've learned that being intelligent doesn't always mean excelling in a job. Success requires specific skills & knowledge that may take time to develop. Lack of experience or understanding can hold you back.

's Upwork course, learnt a bunch of new stuff. If anyone's trying to get into freelancing, this course is definitely a good place to start.
2) Using lambda functions on a df is much faster when compared to traditional for loops, iterrows etc...
3) When you're super stuck at something, reach out to your seniors for help 😂.
Lucky me, my seniors are super helpful and approachable.🙌
