Solid pod
Great personalities. Good job seeker info that could apply to many fields in software. I especially enjoy the subtle gamer references throughout
Expansive and Inclusive DS Insights
Five years ago I’d never heard of data science. My company has been on a hiring spree for data scientists for 2 years. My job has become data science adjacent, and I wanted to better understand what is data scientist, how might I work with them and how do they think about business problems.
I love this podcast! The hosts are knowledgeable, experienced and approachable.
Their conversations are interesting, lively and fun.
They share interesting insights about data science challenges and data ethics. When I have a problem, like I’d like my algorithm to have anti-bias measures built-in, I’m ready to go to the data scientists at my job and present the challenge, discuss parameters and let them work it.
Love the SPONSORS. Pls keep going.
I write this review to ask that Jacqueline NOT stop the fake sponsors. This podcast, brought to you both by TWITTER and GREEK LETTERS, is so good. Even just as a novice who is vaguely interested. It’s been helpful in job searching and interview prep even outside of the specific field. And especially as a women I do not feel gaslit by these two wonderful ladies. Rare and encouraging.
