I took a weekend and finished it all. It was so concise and organized information about data science careers that I was able to save time searching here and there. The most impressive thing was that the major or job I have been doing is not necessarily disadvantageous to becoming a data scientist. I think the key is to find your own unique selling point and how to integrate it into the field of data science. Thank you for the great lecture :)

I listened to the lecture well. The instructor organized it neatly and clearly, so it was organized in my head and absorbed well. They say that the job of data scientist is popular and in high demand, but I didn't know what specific skill sets I should build. After listening to the instructor's explanation, a roadmap was drawn up. ㅎㅎ However, if I had to choose something that was a bit disappointing in the lecture, I think it would have needed a little more specific explanation... For example, in order to understand a data science career, you said that you need to set a data science career goal and study efficiently to achieve the goal, but I felt like there were some specific examples or explanations missing throughout the lecture. Other than that, it was really well organized and good! Thank you!!!

Notes

  • If you leave your questions, I will answer them all at once every weekend.
  • Unauthorized distribution or public posting of course content and materials is prohibited.

I am currently working as a data scientist in the UK, and prior to moving to the UK, I completed my undergraduate and master's studies at Korea University. Personally, I run a data science project called "VisualisingKorea (https://visualisingkorea.com)." In 2020, under the name VisualisingKorea, I won first place in the 'Corona Data Visualization AI Competition' hosted by Dacon, which is often referred to as the Kaggle of Korea. In 2019, an article published by VisualisingKorea was also selected as a finalist for the Data Visualization of the Year award at the Data Journalism Awards.

Although I am currently active as an experienced professional in the field of data science and run a YouTube channel about data science (https://www.youtube.com/c/visualisingkorea), five years ago, I was also a non-major from a liberal arts background preparing for a career in data science.

Because I was a non-major myself, I understand very well what aspects are frustrating and worrying when preparing for a career from a non-technical background. To ensure you don't waste time like I did and can instead utilize your preparation time efficiently and optimize the process, I want to share everything I learned through trial and error. This includes things I realized while preparing as a non-major, things I regret not knowing sooner now that I am an experienced professional in the data science field, and above all, things that would have shortened my preparation time had I known them then. I aim to deliver all of this to those who are standing at the same crossroads.

Even if you are a complete beginner or a non-major with no prior knowledge of data science, I hope that by following my lectures, you will learn how to effectively prepare for a data science career without wasting time or effort, unlike how I missed various opportunities by wasting time.

    As a non-major, I wanted to see someone who had succeeded in a similar environment, and thanks to this, all the things I was curious about and wanted to know were resolved. The content was organized easily, so it was easy to understand, and the practice problems were especially helpful. As a non-major, I was at a loss, but this lecture was perfect for me! I will prepare diligently as I have learned and succeed like the instructor! Thank you for creating a great lecture.

      I think one of the difficulties of preparing as a non-major is that it is difficult to find people who have succeeded in similar environments. I am very proud that the parts you were curious about have been resolved! I hope you will prepare diligently as you have learned and have good results :)

    Compared to the many high reviews, I felt that it lacked substance. It was strange that it only explained in detail information that could be easily found by searching the Internet, and it simply skipped over detailed explanations of the job. I regret purchasing the lecture after only seeing good reviews. I applied because it was a roadmap for non-majors, but there were no examples and it was very basic, and even that was very light compared to the actual basics. People who don't know anything about what data science is can listen to it, but people who know even a little bit about it will probably regret it. One-line review: A lecture with a too long introduction and little substance What are you asking sarcastic questions while saying you understood it..? It's not that you're studying the basics, but at least you should cover information that is difficult for people to find. If you only explain information that is easy to find and just mention information that is difficult to find, isn't that strange? At least I hoped that it would give an interesting explanation with examples from your own experience, but that wasn't the case. I watched the lecture from beginning to end, thinking that there would be something. That's why I feel even more disappointed. Before taking the lecture, I told people around me that there seemed to be a good lecture, so I would listen to it and recommend it, but I thought that if I recommended it, I would be the only one getting cursed at. I didn't want to write such a bad review, but I'm writing it because I'm upset. After taking this lecture, I took other lectures on fundamentals, coding, etc. My opinion of the lecture did not change.

      Hello. Judging from your review, it seems like it wasn't what you expected. I can't meet everyone's expectations, but I understand Jaewoo's opinion. However, I have a hard time agreeing with the opinion that "the content is small." First, I'd like to ask about the purpose of taking the course. Is the reason for taking the course not to enter a career but to study the basics? If so, it would be better to find the basics and study them. When you open the Internet browser, "easy-to-find information" is overflowing. But do you have time to find, read, and study all that information? As someone preparing for a career, don't you have enough time to find and read "easy-to-find information"? Another difference from "easy-to-find information" floating around on the Internet is that the contents of my course are information that I have actually learned and experienced while working in the industry for many years and preparing for a career entry. Among them, this lecture is a systematic compilation of only the essential "essentials" that beginners really need. I am sorry that my lecture did not meet your expectations. I hope that you will find the information that meets your expectations and achieve good results.
