STEM Career Change | 5 | swvi7j | https://www.reddit.com/r/datascience/comments/swvi7j/stem_career_change/ | 6 | 1645341433 | I’m currently working as a field biologist for fisheries research, and am looking to transfer into a more data-science oriented career field. I’ve grown tired of the field work side and love the data side, while most of my coworkers are the opposite.
I have a M.S. in Environmental Science, with cou… | Sun Feb 20 2022 09:17:13 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) |

Comment | 1 | hxcsshc | nan | | 1645129964 | Sounds like you'll need some sort of fuzzy matching. You can get confidence scores here as well. | Thu Feb 17 2022 22:32:44 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) |
Comment | 2 | hxcva4l | nan | | 1645130920 | Best of both worlds. Work in DS without working in DS, hehe. | Thu Feb 17 2022 22:48:40 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) |

Comment | 1 | hxcupfq | nan | | 1645130701 | So I have the opportunity to officially enter the "data field" for a large retail company. So name recognition. However it's a lateral move in pay. But it's good exposure to big data which I haven't had yet. Thoughts? | Thu Feb 17 2022 22:45:01 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) |
Comment | 3 | hxd36hw | nan | | 1645133910 | > You should know that nested loops has exponential complexity.
Minor nitpick: the nested loops themselves have polynomial complexity, not exponential (i.e. O(N\^M) for M loops, not O(M\^N)). What is exponential is the relationship between time complexity and the number of nested loops. I'm sure th… | Thu Feb 17 2022 23:38:30 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) |

Comment | 2 | hxd20t1 | nan | | 1645133478 | /u/Morodin_88 read my mind.
You can be a great programmer but SW engineering goes beyond that.
With DS as with SW engineering you'd want to think end-to-end starting with strategy around what the DS folks should be doing. Then there should be thought/discipline given to requirements, desig… | Thu Feb 17 2022 23:31:18 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) |
Comment | 2 | hxd0f0e | nan | | 1645132871 | Agreed... ITT a bunch of people trying to justify why they write bad code and another group that doesn't know software engineering isn't the same thing as writing good code.
I can write good code but I'm a horrible software engineer... This is why I advise DS minded people to idk try and build a s… | Thu Feb 17 2022 23:21:11 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) |
