Here are some of the topics we covered in this episode… warning, we covered quite a bit. Data books recommendations, an update on my complete data science bootcamp, and what background is best for data science (spoiler: all backgrounds are welcome), is data getting oversaturated, and how to get a job with no experience. With that being said, we are at 742 downloads. I’m really excited to hit 1,000. If you could just pause for 30 seconds and think of anyone you know that could benefit from this podcast, and share it with them, I would love you forever. Want to break into data science?
