#1 is so helpful to hear. In college, I remember people would stress about matplotlib but I think I’ve seen it used once in the workplace. Thanks for the read!
Speaking from experience, I can 100% confirm all 5 points.
And to reflect on 2 points:
At my current job (as a data scientist), I barely use Matplotlib. Oftentimes I visualize data in Google Sheets or create dashboards in Metabase. 🙂
Also, showing my previous experience from a different role (conversion optimization) helped me a lot during the interviewing process. I was able to show that I have the business thinking part required for the position. Never underestimate your not data-related skills! 🙂
Exactly! Domain knowledge and work experience from non-data fields such as business, marketing, and project management can be incredibly relevant to data science roles.
It's important to carefully select what you include in your resume, and ensure that your descriptions clearly highlight how these skills apply to the job you're aiming for.
And I also use Google Sheets quite a lot for quick adhoc requests 😁
