How to Start Your Journey as a Freelance Data Scientist
Struggling to start your freelance journey as a data scientist? No worries I got you covered. I started my freelance data science journey in 2023. At the time, I was still doing my master's and I needed some side income. My friend who is a senior data scientist was doing freelance projects on Upwork so I asked him to mentor me. He gave me some cool advice that helped me get my first clients and more. Remember that getting freelance work doesn't only come from freelance platforms (Upwork, fiver, freelancer, Toptal...) it can also come from your personal network, social media, and especially LinkedIn.
Data science and computer science in general are super in demand in the tech industry. For you to stand out you need to do things differently from others. Doing a bunch of data science projects won't be enough to land the data science job you always dreamed of. There's a lot of technical but also the non-technical that matters in data science. My aim is to help you with that.

You can find each of these topics on CZcams separately.

What I learned by doing certifications is that each company teaches you to use their tools so you better go for the things that could benefit you. For example, in the company I work in we leverage mostly Microsoft so I'm doing Microsoft certifications. Hope this helps.

      There's no best answer here. If you're sure that data science is what you want to do in 3 to 5 years then you can do it in undergrads.

      @anas_riad Před 15 dny

      First congrats on your move to London to study data science. Here are a few things I would say: - Understand what data scientists do and start building your skills early on. - Don't only rely on university study material. Usually real life scenarios are more complex so keep that in mind. - Build a GitHub project portfolio when you start university and keep posting in it consistently - Be active on LinkedIn from the start of your studies. Network with people and build a reputation. You will make it easier for yourself to get work opportunities (internships, jobs...) when you need them. I do share tips in my content so please feel free to look at my recent videos and see which ones could benefit your current journey. All the best :)

      Hi, Thank you for your support. I would say that any technical knowledge is beneficial. Learn Python, Pandas, Power BI, and do data projects even before going to university. There are plenty of resources on the internet to start learning today. Anything you learn today could benefit you tomorrow, so don't wait. I did a master's in computer science at Cardiff Metropolitan University and I liked it. I'm not familiar much with universities so you'll have to do a bit of research. What I would say is that the university doesn't matter as much as what you can offer. So do lots of projects, network on LinkedIn, and become a valuable data scientist.

      I understand your concerns and you are right thinking ahead of all possible outcomes and scenarios. What I can say is that: In the UK international students aren't given priority, that's just the way it is. You will have less opportunities than national UK students. However, if you prove that you are a great profile you can get some amazing opportunities. You can either see the glass half empty and complain OR see the glass half-full and work your butt of to get a better quality life. Will it be easy in the UK? I don't think so. But is it worth it? In my personal experience, YES. Please do extensive research before coming so that you're ready for all possibilities. If you need to speak to me directly just reach out on LinkedIn: Anas Riad

      Congrats on your move to the UK for your master's. Yes, it's definitely possible to get a sponsored role after your master's but please don't wait until you finish university to start networking and applying for jobs. During your studies do many projects and showcase them on GitHub. Also, try to get freelance projects on UpWork or any other freelance platform to gain experience that you can leverage on your CV. Finally, leverage LinkedIn during your study period. I made a video a few weeks ago on how to leverage LinkedIn to land your first data science job. Do it as soon as you start your studies. Don't make the same mistakes as others. All the best :)
