My Journey to Landing My First Data Science Job

It's no secret that competition for data science jobs is fierce. You may be in the process of filling out your first application, or you might be 100 applications in. Either way, I want to share my story with you in the hope that it will inspire and motivate you to keep pushing on. I love my job as a lead data scientist, but it was not an easy road. I faced continuous rejection and disappointment; at one point I was ready to settle for a career I hated.
