| 13: Do Projects, Bootcamps, and More - Ask Avery - May 18, 2021 | 19 May 2021 | 00:46:10 | |
This is probably my favorite Ask Avery show of all time, at least of the last few months. We had some folks show up live to ask questions. Ricardo and Quincy asked awesome questions and it was so fun to talk to them face to face. We talked about how to stand out in getting a job in data with Ricardo. And Quincy asked about my opinion on bootcamps. We then took two written questions from Robert and Adnan. They asked about a structured plan for data science as well as how to know if you like data science. I’m going to be ending the giveaway for the podcast rate and review. Please if you have one second and are on apple podcasts, please give us a review as it really helps the show. I’ll be choosing two random people to get shout outs on my linkedin as well as the podcast. Want to leave a question for the Ask Avery Show?

| 12: Engineering -> Data Science with Thom Ives | 18 May 2021 | 00:53:40 | |
The first official interview of the data career podcast! It was right after out launch party for the podcast and it was with the awesome. Thom Ives was our guest. Be sure to follow him on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomives/. Total stud. Love the guy. Seriously so nice. We talked about his long career in data and his transition from engineering to data science. That is the way to become a data scientist, you do data science before the role is ever assigned you. Don’t forget that. I do want to also apologize for my tech issues on this episode. I somehow unplugged my nice mic for my audio, and my headphones weren’t working to listen to Thom’s. That being said this audio is NOT the best. I am super sorry. There's also a giveaway going on for the pod, all you need to do is rate and review on Apple Podcasts.
