Hey Ken, I love your channel ! Awesome videos, very inspiring. I'm curious, how do you record the tutorial videos ? Is there a software ? Thank you for everything.
Well this is eye opening.
I guess I need to take a deep breath, put on my big boy pants, push anxiety aside and start cold e-mailing
Haha I felt that too 🤣💯
You can do it James!
Mt. Everest always looks scary at the bottom brotha. Good luck friend, and you can do it! Only one shot at life!
I love to use cold emails/messages to network. When i first started doing this it was so weird. What I found was offering some type of value to the person was best to gain traction and also have a better feeling myself knowing that I wasn't just using this new person as a resource only. New relationships can be mutually benefiical for both parties and it shouldn't just be one-way! Great content as always Ken!
Completely agree on the mutually beneficial part! I think everyone has something they can offer. Also, responding to your email later today, I'm pretty behind on my inbox 😅
Super useful information for people applying right now! Maybe that’s why I had to apply to over a thousand jobs to actually get an offer lol
Well I guess you could say it worked out in the long run. I also should probably give you credit for inspiring me to do a reaction video... but I wont.
I feel.
Did the rivals become friends now?

This is really very eye opening! 👀 Thanks for doing this video!
Thanks for watching Tina!!!
I had probably missed this channel for months. Hooked to learning some other staffs outside Data Analytics. But...It's nice to be back, haha.
Glad to have you back Ben!!
@@KenJee_ds anytime bro
Always interesting to see numbers and get a better understanding of the magnitude of differences. In hindsight, it makes sense but the cold emailing thing was a surprise to me. Thanks for sharing this, Ken.
Thanks for watching Wilson! Cold email was a surprise to me too!
I've been watching you since last year, and the production quality has improved drastically! I'm happy to see this channel grow :D
Thanks for sticking with me so long Jon! I hope the videos have been useful to you!
Sends out Cold Email
>Gets Blacklisted For Life
lol
If I understood the article correctly this is only for US and Canada. As a European I think the data may differ drastically due to the job market culture. In my opinion here Universities are the most popular and even maybe the only way to get into the field if you want companies to look at you seriously. It's just my opinion, bit I am pointing this out for your international viewers just in case.
This is correct! Actually in the podcast episode coming out Wednesday, I ask him how well this scales to Europe and India!
@@KenJee_ds would love to know about Indian job market
Wow... Right video at right time 😃
This will help me while apply for data science jobs🤞
Great article Jeremie Harris🙌 Thanks...
Good luck Piyush!
@@KenJee_ds Thank you Ken😀
I think if you want to go the cold-call email route, a nice python automation script might cut down a lot of time. You should be able to scrape a lot of companies' email addresses and then send out emails to them with your CV. This can be repeated or done once-off? Or would it be better to cater each email to the comany that you send it to?
It says customize the email... so mass emails saying "Look at me" would not encourage me to look.
@@MevieLmn ah missed that part 👍🏻
Yep, customized emails are much preferred! You also want to lead with a project or tool. Look at "what I've done that could be useful to you, rather than look at me"
@@KenJee_ds Or even do research on the company you are cold calling. Know what your skills bring to the table. Data Science is a tool not a be all end all, even Ken applies it to something like sports.
@@MevieLmn Completely agree! We actually talk about this in the podcast this upcoming week as well!
I've been hunting for ds internships for several months now and this is relly helpful!
Glad to hear!!
Your videos are always insightful and helpful :)
Thanks Tejas! Glad you're finding them helpful!
So insightful 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Hey Ken :) Thank you for all the amazing content. I've been binging this past week, since finding your channel.
I have some constructive criticism. I've noticed that the mixing is frequently "off" when you're interviewing someone. Your volume is typically leveled higher than the guest's, which makes it difficult to consume, without having the volume dial at the ready, to live mix.
Regardless, I appreciate you and the work you've done for this community!
Glad to hear the content was bingeworthy! Thanks for the feedback, will make the adjustment in the next video! I usually record the audio streams separate so I can balance them, but this time I forgot 😅
From opinion likedin would be better option because normal job application goes through resume software which get rejected mostly so networking with people on LinkedIn engaging and making connections and talking to potential recruiter will be best choice but bad side of cold email is getting those mail people sometimes spam those which is totally not cool ....these are my opinion of course other people can have there own as well🙌💯
I think linkedin is a super powerful tool for this! We talk more about that in the podcast episode next week!
Thanks Ken!
Thanks for watching!
I finished interview for a computer vision engineer. It's been 7 days and I'm just waiting for an email or call telling me if I got it or not.
Previously I spoke to a recruiter at Facebook and AWS They never got back to me. It can be discouraging to apply and just get ghosted.
Unfortunately, that is pretty common place in the industry. I actually had the same thing happen with me with a facebook recruiter a while ago haha
Really helpful 🙌
Glad you found it helpful Shubham!
Do you think that MS graduates from “top schools” (and who’ve done well academically and with projects, etc) have a better shot at getting interviews through their schools and through their alumni networks?
I think it is pretty hard to say. I don't think that even through school boards you will get as much success as with linkedin or cold email. They will definitely be better than a normal job board though. I hope this helps!
@@KenJee_ds thanks Ken. I have a skewed mentality that recruiters go to school job fairs in search of candidates. So it’s like an in-person version of LinkedIn where they seek you out and you get to see them face-to-face and make a human connection in hopes of a chance at an interview. Maybe I am idealistic. 😕
I swear if someone with only a google cert gets a job before me
hahaha
Hi there! I recalled you mentioning that you could become a data scientist in 6 months if you put your head to it. Does this include a certified degree which will allow you to be applicable for a job which a 3/4 year degree student would be applicable for?
I really wouldn't recommend that approach. Those who have made it in that short period time have usually had some really good breaks to do it that fast. To get in that fast, I don't there is a "tried and true path". I would check out this interview with Daniel Bourke to hear how circumstance led to it happening for him: czcams.com/video/hO_YKK_0Qck/video.html&ab_channel=KenJee
Thank you so much: I appreciate your help
I am working as a mobile developer and i am really thinking about shifting to data science field, may you advice me if it's good choice to make + is it going to affect the salary !?
I would consider making a slow transition into the field. Learn some skills and try to integrate data into your current work flow if you can. If you really love it I think it may be a good choice to transition. Honestly salary will be about equivalent
Sir,please provide your advise on this:
i'm a student aspiring to become a data scientist.But i only know python as much as till looping and conditional statements.I also know the basics of pandas like reading dataframes and assigning that to a variable.But another youtuber said that if we need to become a data scientist,we must start working on data science projects ASAP and that we must learn whatever skills we require for that project along the way.But i saw a kaggler's end to end project solution and nearly recieved a stroke as everything looked like Greek and Latin.Pls help as i dont know where to begin for solving data science projects.
(i)Please suggest the appraoch that i shd take towards solving data science projects as i still dont know a lot of the programming required though im eager to learn
(ii)Also,how can i increase my knowledge quickly in tensorflow,seaborn etc that are required to begin doing projects
I would start by working through the kaggle.com micro courses. They get you familiar with all the steps of the data science lifecycle. I would also keep observing other people's end to end projects. I have one on the titanic dataset that you could follow along with that may be helpful. I wouldn't worry about tensorflow or deep learning or anything to start.
I agree that projects are probably the most important thing. However, a project doesn't have to be crazy big or end to end. It could be something as simple as you experimenting with a few classifiers on a dataset. I would break projects down into smaller components so that they are more approachable
Interesting data :)
I thought so too haha!
Hey Ken,
What are the coding workshops (applications/softwares) you would recommend for someone with no technological background whatsoever who wants to pursue sports analytics.
Good question! I personally like the free micro courses on kaggle.com. If you want something a bit more extensive, there is a good course on intro python taught through 365 data science (discount in description). You also have places like code academy!
@@KenJee_ds Thanks a lot!
Focus on income, not outcome. Got it. Thanks!
hahaha
133k subs lets go
Let's GOOOOOO
If any job
hi sir. Is it possible to get a freelance data science job even tough I only have a bootcamp and no experience at all. I'm planning to shift to data science career but as of now I can't risk to resign on my current job so I'm planning to have a frealance/work from home job before becoming fulltime on DS. Any suggestions on how to get a freelance job or On the Job Training? THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!
Thanks for watching! I think it would be possible to start doing freelance work. You will likely have to do your first few projects for very cheap or for free. I recommend trying to do some work for non-profits or with people in your network. You could also try upwork or some of the other websites like that. I hope this helps!
@@KenJee_ds thank you so much sir. honestly i'm saving up my money for 365 data science. :D as of now, i'm trying to practice and 'master' python programming before I fully immense myself to Data Science.
PS. I'm always be a fan of your work!
Dear sir, can u please tell the syllabus learn data science and free resources?

what's your beef with @alextheanalyst
when will it stop
or is this a PR stunt??
Haha we are friends, no serious beef between us. Only some friendly banter!
glad to hear this lol
