    Why Snowflake's Highest-Ever Tech IPO Matters to Your Career | Hamid Qureshi | Paul Siegel | Meet the Gurus | Starweaver

    For those who have never heard of Snowflake, let’s get some of the basics out of the way:  - Snowflake is an analytic data warehouse provided as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). Snowflake’s data warehouse is not built on an existing database or “big data” software platform such as Hadoop. The Snowflake data warehouse uses a new SQL database engine with a unique architecture designed for the cloud.  - In September 2020, Snowflake launched the largest technology Initial Public Offering (IPO) in history with its shares going public at $120/share and jumping to $300 on its first day of trading. Snowflake became the largest company to ever double in value on its opening day, reaching a market cap of close to $75 billion.  - Salaries in the Big Data arena are high and rising, averaging over $99,000 for data scientists and engineers to directors of analytics at $138,000-150,000. In this Meet the Gurus program, Hamid Qureshi covers the foundations of Snowflake and why its rapidly growing prominence in the Big Data field can provide great opportunities for those interested in data science. He will discuss the basics of business intelligence (BI), an enterprise data warehouse (EDW), and extract/transform/load (ETL), and discuss some of the many initiatives he has led for leading organizations.

    How Data Literacy Makes Everything Better | Dave Langer | Paul Siegel | Meet the Gurus | Starweaver

    A little knowledge is a dangerous thing’: it’s career-altering. The proverb ‘a little knowledge is a dangerous thing‘ expresses the idea that a small amount of knowledge can mislead people into thinking that they are more expert than they really are, which can lead to much bigger mistakes being made. That little knowledge lulls you into believing that what you think is happening is the ONLY thing happening, and more often than not this is simply not the case.  Acquiring, organizing, understanding, and visualizing (or presenting) data are key skills to help you get and present the full picture. In this Meet the Gurus session, Dave Langer helps us to understand how to cull out the nuances within data sets: avoiding the “little knowledge” that appears on the surface, and helping you to access and visualize the full story.  Powerfully, Dave talks about how this is done with tools most people already use, including Excel. Why is this important to your career?  Data isn’t just for data analytics teams anymore, as it is touched by most roles. Data is can be quickly misunderstood, as many tools make understanding look easier than it really is. Likely one of the first interview questions you will be asked in a technology role is about data, and what tools you are familiar with in its analysis.  Please check out our Techbytes: About the Host: Paul Siegel is an entrepreneur and an educator working towards technology professionals to transform them into world-class experts and business people into tech-savvy leaders. Paul is an inventor and patent (pending) holder in talent management software and has co-authored and/or edited over 30 books (check Amazon to see details). About the Co-host: Dave Langer is a technology professional with more than 20 years of experience and more than a decade of experience using analytics to inform and shape organizational strategy.  Dave is a passionate educator with a simple philosophy – the best instructors entertain while they teach. Dave has successfully trained hundreds of working professionals in programming (e.g., C++, SQL, and R), data analysis, and machine learning. ~~~~~ Meet the Gurus is a program sponsored by Starweaver and devoted to spreading ideas, knowledge and insights, in short form and typically talks of 30 minutes or less.
