The Differences Between Data Science and Consulting

In this episode I have the pleasure of speaking with a friend of mine from high school, Gleb Drobkov. Gleb is a senior data scientist at BCG Gamma, the advanced analytics practice of the Boston Consulting Group. His career spans consulting and the financial services industry, and these days, he typically focuses on using data and machine learning to help brands and retailers connect with consumers in more personalized ways. In our conversation,  we talk about the unique opportunities and challenges of working in data science at a management consulting firm, and the breakdown of time spent on a typical analytics engagement, as well as much more.
