This notebook focuses on two questions:

1. What should data scientists think important in 2020?
2. How to set up growth as data scientists?

Key take-aways and actions:

1. Growth 🚀🚀🚀

• Focus on learning new things in the first 4 years of career. Find your job needs, build up and stick to 4-5 skills as your core 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼 to make yourself unique and standout. But don't forget to be open-minded and have some knowledge on other things.
• Engage with the community and interact with others by sharing your work and learning from others, it is all-time important!

2. Important Things To Note ⭐⭐⭐

• Having at least a Master's degree is important for data-related jobs, but it's becoming less important.
• Know Python 🐍, learn 🐍, master 🐍, and integrate 🐍 with the other languages you regularly use to build a network 🕸️ in your brain 🧠.
• Free services like Google Colab and Kaggle Notebook are the must to know, but don't completely ignore pay services like Amazon Sagemaker because pay 💰 means better experiences and better quality, and it might be closer to the industry needs.
• Visualization is intended to be used to deliver people's thoughts, which is beyond being fancy. It could be simple or complicate and it could be built using any tool/packages (Tableau|Matplotlib|Seaborn|Ggplot|...). However, it must be easy to understand and interactive ✨.

3. When You Consider A Higher Annual Compensation ❗❗❗

• Career experience is the most important aspect
  • One needs to know how to drive large business impacts using data and their skills.
  • One needs to know how to build things in large scale by knowing what different scales of companies or data teams are doing 👶-🧒-🧑🏼.
• Skillsets and abilities is the 2nd important aspect
  • Plotly is strongly recommended! Or any other interactive package also works. And don't forget to know how to put it in production 📱.
  • Get to know and apply more ides, languages, visualizations, and machine learning frameworks whenever needed. p.s. If you are having a data job in the United States, you've been on the pirate boat ⚓-💰.
