Show Notes
In this episode of Out of Office with Sundas I sat down with Maggie Ma, a former Data Engineer who made the move to Data Scientist role. She shared what it really took to make that transition, the skills she had to learn, and how much of the job involves working with messy, real-world data, and why she eventually left Data Scientist role after working 3 years.
We also talked about AI, corporate politics, and why she decided to walk away from what seemed like a dream job. What's your biggest takeaway from this conversation?
