So accurate. Nobody expects new hires to know anything beyond basic general coding skills and a strong willingness to learn. Every company has their own unique collection of technologies and it's impossible to find people who know all those techs on the up front. Tip to those new to the biz, don't kill yourself trying to learn everything as soon as possible. Do some tutorials to get the basics and learn the rest as you go. Only work on the clock too; they don't pay you to work off the clock.
Shit, this happened to me. Got hired as a SQL programmer, and brushed up on my RDMS skills for 2 weeks until my start date. Then, on my first day: Boss: Aright, welcome aboard. So you're our new SAS programmer! Me: Que! SAS? I don't know what SAS is... Boss: Haha, you'll figure it out.
@@ashihtaka yeah, but I didn't know what to do with the datasets. I didn't even know what the terms t-tests, chi square, or kriging were. I was mainly a java programmer, who did 1 SQL project; which, it seems, I oversold in the interview.😅
Yup, I applied for an internship at my uni. The focus of that internship was supposed to be UX design as well as UI design work. For the first 5-6 months I have done nothing but user testing of a prototype in one of our labs using eye-tracking. But for the last 7 or so months I was told to start coding in python and learning to program a neural network in keras. Never worked with python in my life, they just expected me to do it.
If you are capable of all that and they even expect that kind of adaptability from you it means you are already capable enough to be in the industry. Get over imposter syndrome and start applying today. Network with other programmers as well for recommendations. took me around 500+ rejected job applications before I got my foot in the door.
@@dfsgjlgsdklgjnmsidrg than you should have a job. Reject all internships and apply while coding up little projects. These businesses know what they’re doing. They specifically hire devs with imposter syndrome to milk and squeeze as much out of them as possible for a fraction of the price due to a lack of confidence. You are literally worth 6 figures or near it. Embrace it and keep it moving.
😂 welcome to IT, if you make past the first three years you’ll be fine. I would say it gets easier. But I would be lying, the technology changes every 3-5 years. Most your time will be spent learning new technology and forgetting old technology only to relearn it again when someone asks you to fix a bug in a legacy system.
@@mohit4902 you should look at the cutting edge of Platform Engineering and Game Development, if you want to talk about intense. DevOps Engineers and Game Developers burnout on average in less then 3 years. DevOps Engineers often opt to keep the DevOps title but become automation engineers. Game Developers usually just leave to do Business Line of Application. The top 5% earn more than the top 5% of Data Scientists or Data Engineers (a lot more). But you’ll physically see the difference… grey hair, pale skin, lack of muscle due to 12 hours a day at a desk. Usually health issues, that come from a lack sleep, movement or sunlight.

Hi @@aunox5657, Okay I’ve had to edit this post several time so here is the short version: I looked for houses in commuter distance of the Capital. I then found houses that were affordable (2 or 3 beds max) in those areas. I leveraged the first house to buy the second house, and the second to by the third and so on. I put my own money with the smaller mortgage always to reduce the payment duration as quickly as possible. When one was paid off I moved my attention to the next. I didn’t want to be over mortgaged for too long. Timing workout for me and I rode the low inflation era. I paid off two, and sold three. I used the money from the sells to fund my business, and buy an office. The office had three floors so I kept the ground floor for my business and rented the other two floors out. Eventually I sold my business. That’s the short version, and yes there were times I was in a very uncomfortable position and had to basically quit my job on the spot as I need to make more money as the interest rates moved. So jumped job and sometime city, sleeping on friends sofas to take jobs that paid more.
I can totally relate to this video. I worked in a lab where my responsibilities were split between R scripting / learning, excel analysis + graph creation (in GraphPad), and wet lab work. Every time I had a question about anything regarding R or the data I was working with (mass spec.) the post doc I was to be 'mentored' by would hit me with interactions very much like this. Where I didn't get a chance to fully clarify how he wanted me to achieve some HUGE ask before throwing on another large ask in the same conversation. It was hell. It didn't work out. Also I am finishing up a data science undergrad now. Really hoping my first employer won't have unfulfillable expectations of me. I really just want a job with reasonable expectations, as then I can actually look good when I put in time and a half, instead of still feeling like a failure.

@@datanash8200 Jokes on you CTEs are disabled in enterprise Azure databases that we query lol 😂😂 I literally once had to hard code a certain number of layers for an employee hierarchy. This is a F100 company, mind you.

That being said, someone will at last experience my GLORIOUS SQL "sELecT" statements 😂😂
Swear this is so accurate. I interned as a software engineer at a big defense company and they used so many acronyms (all of which they threw around as if I knew them) specific to the company it was like they were speaking their own language. I was told it takes about a year to be of real use to a company
Luckily I interned at a major manufacturing company. WLB was great because we weren't trying to create cutting edge technology but just track sale predictions based on what filters.
My day at an engineering firm: "Here's the entire documentation on the deca-million dollar construction project for an industrial plant. You'll be supervising all of it. OKAY, what do you want to do now? No clue? Let's just drive you there, I'll introduce you to the 3rd parties before promptly leaving you alone for the next weeks" x_x
Then how'd you get it? I've done a couple analysis project, learning matching learning rn but just can't get to the point where I can be like "Okay I know shit now, I have useful skills, time to show em to employers"
Are you going to apply to jobs based on the github project you did in the bootcamp or based on the bootcamp credentials on your resume. I mean how would the bootcamp standout vs. self-teaching ? Thanks
Bruh my job did the same stuff to me. I never used a mac, they gave me the new m1 when everyone else had the older macs and none of the projects I was suppose to be working on worked because of the new ARM architecture. So me a new hire, had to ask around the entire company to figure out a fix while learning how to use a mac for the first time. on top of that, learning about the pipelines we use, the deploy process, how to use jira. Being a new hire is so stressful, I just love that most jobs give 6 months to get up to speed.
Excactly true, on my first day of a frontend web dev internship, they told me to learn solidity and write a complex smart contract. Didn't had a clue about solidity!
Goddamn. I studied electronics engineering, got a data analyst internship, ended up doing data science stuff. Its hard, but im thankful for that wxperience.
For real though VSCode is hands down the best. There's a reason it's pretty much the IDE of choice for most of the industry. That being said, RStudio for the win for just R specifically, and I prefer Azure Data Studio for queries.
@@hippocleides7105 Not sure where that's the usual choice, I barely know anyone using VSCode... Personally I like Jetbrain IDEs the most, in particular PyCharm for Python and Web Development with NodeJS and Angular. But anyway, doesn't matter what someone uses as long as the job gets done at the end ;)

Moved within my marketing agency from digital marketing, which has been 10 years of my career, to Apps Script automations, to learning BluePrism and going back to learn SQL and Python since they moved me to the company's data team. Currently working on moving a script from Apps Script into Javascript so that the agency can use automations I did in Google Sheets in Microsoft Excel with a Javascript plugin. I also look after the entire data pipeline including querying data in BigQuery to bring into visualisation tools. I work alone and with no computer science background, this video is very relatable. My head f'n hurts 😅
Applied finance student here, was hired as in intern to help my manager who was a principle engineer with building a website. I was supposed to help with this the business side of things. He switched jobs after month and then everyone started treating me like the project owner. I messed up and ran out of budget so had to learn React to finish the website. Tbh I delivered, earned everyones respect, switched roles 3 times and am still working there. Not always a bad thing. And ofcourse your getting paid so gotta put the effort in
Lol, never expect the video and the comment section to be this relateable. Applying for DA position at my current company, spent some months learning the basic for tools etc. Only to be put on DE position after I officially joined, working with tools I've never use or heard before. The first few weeks was horrible. No training or what not, I don't know what to do and feels like this position doesn't fit me. Been 2 month since then and I really enjoying the position right now lol.
Yo! I just had an interview for data science intern position and dude asked me Devops, Agile, scrum, IIOT, asked me about R (I am sure they don't use R).
I'm learning web develompent, I use sublime text to quickly poke the code around and get the hang of it, vs code seems too bulky for such a short task.
@@datanash8200 Hi, im new in your channel, i loved this video. As a matter of fact R is not complicated at all, give it a try! I can also help you with the few things i've learned on R
lulz!! This is so on point... not just for DataScience, but also for really... almost every job in the tech field. And it applies whether you're an intern, employee, or contractor. >_> What's worse... after a few months of this, you will start communicating with new hires like this as well. *facepalms* Too funny. But only because it is so accurate. TLDR; expectation is that you are able to shift gears and change directions on a dime. What you were interviewed on... the actual in-house stack is more complex and usually a hodge podge of different engineers' vision of how to implement a given task, before they moved onto another team. Documentation is a fevered dream. And don't forget, if you touched it and were able to help someone else on it... you might very well own it now. But, yeah, definitely get on that scrum. Remember to update your Jira/Asana/Remedy tickets. *lol* "Just bash it out" omg.... is it worse if I know what was meant by that? ;_; But thanks for this vid!
For those who are getting into the tech field, regardless of your role... things to keep in mind: 1) Regardless of what you were interviewed on and what was on your resume, you can safely assume you will need to pickup at least 1 new language and learn at least 2 applications/systems you are not familiar with. When do you learn this? Whenever you can, really. -_-; 2) Get comfortable with Mac OS X. It's become a sort of defacto standard. Folks might have their Windows laptops or their Linux laptops, but for better or for worse, Mac OS X has a strong footing. The servers, however, are a mix of Linux/Windows.. either in-house or in the cloud. 3) You aren't expected to instantly know it all... but you are expected to go and find the information and learn it... or reach out to others on your team to get context/etc. >>> Seriously, get to know other people in the company.. .they will be your lifeline when you hit a system you have no knowledge of.
Yeah, when I started my job all of their scripts to set up a new workstation were completely borked. They didn't tell me about the problem, so I thought I was just an idiot who couldn't figure anything out. On the plus side, because of that I cleaned up like 90% of their applications by updating them so they didn't need the environment settings created by the setup scripts in order to run anymore. And now everybody loves me for it.
You just have to get used to jump into unknown regions, always. You are not getting paid for being super smart in 1 topic, but because of your problem solving skills in a constant changing world. Behind all these fancy words and languages are the same core principles, they just change their color. That's the entire trick behind it.
This is common but toxic as hell. The lack of steering and direction here from the senior is just setting everyone up for a world of pain. Also a lot of those decisions foisted onto him are bunk.
Fucking hell, accurate. That one coworker that wanna makes you use the tech stack that he is using and then you'll realize after a week that everyone else uses their preferred tools. Why the hell is this on my feed, my blood starts boiling remembering that annoying memory.
freaking gold, same way on the hardware/platform side :D, oh here's a new app that needs support, you don't know it? don't worry I'm sure its easy....but we need you to fix it asap its a critical business need with no support or warranty.
Can confirm, hired as a app developer but now I have to learn about networks, firewalls, WAF polices, debugging servers and auto VM deployments via templates. Haven't touched Javascript in 3 months... the future is DevOps!
dont be afraid to ask why, sublime is just a text-editor while VS Code is an IDE that allows you to use terminals, easier to implement extensions and intellisense mainly
@@mateator25 Dont be afraid to ask why as well. We didnt use integrated terminals, nor extensions. Intellisense is in the user's preference if it is preferrable or not. Its easy to judge right?
I came out hot thinking I knew everything about R, Python, Javascript, SQL, SAS… Then my PM at twitter asks if I know UI design… I had no idea our job entailed that.
One of the most realistic of those kind of videos, which IS not just "lol i dont understand what they talk about" The main point for me being companies recruiting interns without knowing what they want them to do or onboarding them properly
im a pure mathematician. Im still an undergrad, but im about to finish my degree. I can tell you right now that you probably dont need that much maths in data science. Linear algebra for machine learning, some multivariable calculus and differential equation knowledge to be able to analyse data. Thats probably it. The stuff that u do in math past second year (for pure atleast) is in excess of knowledge needed for data science. You are never going to need group theory, real analysis, etc.. Statistics i guess is needed, but thats a major on its own. I think u learn most of the stats in a first year course; p-test, confidence intervals, poisson distributions, etc.. Dont be scared of math, its not that difficult. It just seems daunting because alot of people say its hard. Keep this in mind tho, those that say its hard either dont try to understand it, or are the ones that are doing pure math. I dont think ive ever heard a person doing applied math or statistics say their subjects are difficult.
P.s. do NOT get discouraged, you'll get past the initial tough stage with patience + hard work!
And more patience.
I understand all of those words seperately but together.... 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Its like my code, I understand the lines separately, but put together..... Yikes.

@@datanash8200 Hi, im new in your channel, i loved this video. As a matter of fact R is not complicated at all, give it a try! I can also help you with the few things i've learned on R
"agile agile scrum agile" is so true
lulz!! This is so on point... not just for DataScience, but also for really... almost every job in the tech field. And it applies whether you're an intern, employee, or contractor. >_> What's worse... after a few months of this, you will start communicating with new hires like this as well. *facepalms* Too funny. But only because it is so accurate. TLDR; expectation is that you are able to shift gears and change directions on a dime. What you were interviewed on... the actual in-house stack is more complex and usually a hodge podge of different engineers' vision of how to implement a given task, before they moved onto another team. Documentation is a fevered dream. And don't forget, if you touched it and were able to help someone else on it... you might very well own it now. But, yeah, definitely get on that scrum. Remember to update your Jira/Asana/Remedy tickets. *lol* "Just bash it out" omg.... is it worse if I know what was meant by that? ;_; But thanks for this vid!
For those who are getting into the tech field, regardless of your role... things to keep in mind:
1) Regardless of what you were interviewed on and what was on your resume, you can safely assume you will need to pickup at least 1 new language and learn at least 2 applications/systems you are not familiar with. When do you learn this? Whenever you can, really. -_-;
2) Get comfortable with Mac OS X. It's become a sort of defacto standard. Folks might have their Windows laptops or their Linux laptops, but for better or for worse, Mac OS X has a strong footing. The servers, however, are a mix of Linux/Windows.. either in-house or in the cloud.
3) You aren't expected to instantly know it all... but you are expected to go and find the information and learn it... or reach out to others on your team to get context/etc. >>> Seriously, get to know other people in the company.. .they will be your lifeline when you hit a system you have no knowledge of.
Soooo true! How do you focus having endless Slack madness?
“A really EXCITING time!”
Ah fk….
LMAOOOO this is amazing
Yeah, when I started my job all of their scripts to set up a new workstation were completely borked. They didn't tell me about the problem, so I thought I was just an idiot who couldn't figure anything out.
On the plus side, because of that I cleaned up like 90% of their applications by updating them so they didn't need the environment settings created by the setup scripts in order to run anymore. And now everybody loves me for it.
You just have to get used to jump into unknown regions, always. You are not getting paid for being super smart in 1 topic, but because of your problem solving skills in a constant changing world. Behind all these fancy words and languages are the same core principles, they just change their color. That's the entire trick behind it.
This is common but toxic as hell. The lack of steering and direction here from the senior is just setting everyone up for a world of pain. Also a lot of those decisions foisted onto him are bunk.
Fucking hell, accurate. That one coworker that wanna makes you use the tech stack that he is using and then you'll realize after a week that everyone else uses their preferred tools.
Why the hell is this on my feed, my blood starts boiling remembering that annoying memory.
I like your funny words, magic man
freaking gold, same way on the hardware/platform side :D, oh here's a new app that needs support, you don't know it? don't worry I'm sure its easy....but we need you to fix it asap its a critical business need with no support or warranty.
Can confirm, hired as a app developer but now I have to learn about networks, firewalls, WAF polices, debugging servers and auto VM deployments via templates. Haven't touched Javascript in 3 months... the future is DevOps!
So extremely accurate. I thought it was just me!
😂😂this is me getting clueless but pushing further
This is me on my first intern as a junior developer!! Was freaking!!
I can relate going through this as we speak
damn only 586 subs for this editing? rip you def deserve more
My guide told me exactly the same,Learn R,its better for stats.😂🤣
Absolutely hilarious.
R is better for stats tho(statician here) man i want to work in a place where they ask me for R
Sounds like my first boss.
You had me rolling.....then you agile, agile, agile....scrum.
I lost it at separately 😂😂
Agile and scrum made me physically recoil
This is gold
This is so on point 🤣🤣🤣
This is just like my job, but instead they forced me to VS Code instead of Sublime/GEdit.
dont be afraid to ask why, sublime is just a text-editor while VS Code is an IDE that allows you to use terminals, easier to implement extensions and intellisense mainly
@@mateator25 Dont be afraid to ask why as well. We didnt use integrated terminals, nor extensions. Intellisense is in the user's preference if it is preferrable or not. Its easy to judge right?
*Pulls Vs Code back up after boss leaves* 😅
Can you make a video on how you shoot this video please ?
"I understand all those words...separately"
My life in a nutshell
Me who doesn't even want to work at IT Or anything to do with engineering but being forced into it,I'm genuinely scared
Well, if I'm being paid to learn new technologies, sign me up chief!
That's been my life for the last few months,just thinking even if I was unemployed I'd be doing this in my free time anyway😅
Dear sir,
where can i find the sample interviews of intern coops of data science or machine learning?
540 character wide screen, using 88 character wrapped lines with full screen ide :D
I DONT WANT TO DO DATA ANYMOREEE
I'm a biology undergraduate going to data science...holy shit I'm screwed!
I came out hot thinking I knew everything about R, Python, Javascript, SQL, SAS… Then my PM at twitter asks if I know UI design… I had no idea our job entailed that.
This was perfect 😂
Most of that is rather just the typical big corporate overhead 😂
Though I don’t get the point with mac.
I just discovered VS Code after using Sublime basically since it came out. VS Code is amazing imo.
One of the most realistic of those kind of videos, which IS not just "lol i dont understand what they talk about"
The main point for me being companies recruiting interns without knowing what they want them to do or onboarding them properly
Between Excel and Java? Let me introduce you to the wonderful world of COBOL.
Data Science interests me but the MATH part really scares me.
Making a video soon on what maths you ACTUALLY need for it
im a pure mathematician. Im still an undergrad, but im about to finish my degree. I can tell you right now that you probably dont need that much maths in data science. Linear algebra for machine learning, some multivariable calculus and differential equation knowledge to be able to analyse data. Thats probably it. The stuff that u do in math past second year (for pure atleast) is in excess of knowledge needed for data science. You are never going to need group theory, real analysis, etc.. Statistics i guess is needed, but thats a major on its own. I think u learn most of the stats in a first year course; p-test, confidence intervals, poisson distributions, etc.. Dont be scared of math, its not that difficult. It just seems daunting because alot of people say its hard. Keep this in mind tho, those that say its hard either dont try to understand it, or are the ones that are doing pure math. I dont think ive ever heard a person doing applied math or statistics say their subjects are difficult.
i’ve been a java developer for 4 years now and i have absolutely no f’ing idea what scrum is
do any big firms actually use R? wtf
😂damn I’m in my second year of doing my data science bachelors 😢
Not goint to lie, I got my degree on 8/22 and this terrifies the hell out of me.
I lost it at "agile, agile.. scrum, agile" XD
Went for a data science internship
Got most work related to backend
