How to become a data scientist + 3 case studies
Hey John,
I have a question for you...
Are you looking to advance your career with data science?
Then let me help you cheat.
No, this isn't anything illegal.
But, it is the fast track to learning data science.
My students were trying to advance their careers too...
Some were struggling for 5+ years (ahem, before me).
And, I know how this feels, because it took me 5 years too.
It sucked being stuck with no end in sight.
But, other students of mine were able to do it in under 6-months. By taking the fast track.
Here are 3 case studies of how to become a data scientist in 6-months by cheating (aka taking the fast track).
How To Cheat
(and land a Data Science job in under 6-months)
3 Case Studies
3 Case Studies
Case Study #1.
Jennat beat out Python people with R, got promoted before she started, AND landed a 6-Figure Data Scientist job at The Central Bank of Canada ($100,000+ career)
One of the most intimidating things is feeling like you are an outcast.
And a lot of R users feel this way. They hear things like, "Python is the most powerful language." Or "R is inferior."
But in my experience, it's actually the opposite. R is a secret advantage.
And this case study proves it.
Jennat applied for a position at The Central Bank Of Canada(the equivalent of the US Reserve in Canada).
She was an unknown. Their WHOLE team used Python.
And the odds were NOT in her favor.
But she had a secret weapon. She had taken my courses and created a portfolio with one Shiny App that forecasted using my Modeltime R package.
She says, "The SUPRISE is that when they saw a Shiny App forecasting using Modeltime, they created a HIGHER position for me."
The hiring manager literally promoted her in the interview, before she got the job!
And the icing on the cake is that she beat out a TON of Python people by being unique, and different.
Because that's what data science teams need. Not more of the same.
They need people that are valuable because of their unique abilities... they bring something new and better to the table.

Case Study #2.
In under 6-months, Justin kicked off a Lead Data Scientist career at Northwestern Mutual
($150,000+ career)
($150,000+ career)
I see this all too commonly with career transitioners.
And I felt this same way. I was a Mechanical Engineer. I was stuck in my job.
I hated it.
I wasn't getting raises. I was getting passed up for promotions. And I knew exactly why. I wasn't providing business value.
But I just didn't know what I needed to change (and I lacked the confidence to do it).
Justin was in a similar spot. He was tired and frustrated with his career as an Academic Researcher. And he had one bigger problem.
Justin lacked the confidence to change.
Justin began working with me.
We made a 6-month plan to help him transition from Academia to Data Science in Industry.
He had great statistical knowledge. But he lacked business problem-solving data science skills.
So we got to work.
He took the plunge into my 5-Course R-track Program.
And in less than 6-months, Justin became the Lead Data Scientist at Northwestern Mutual, a leader in the financial insurance industry.

Case Study #3.
Amit overcame Imposter Syndrome (feeling like his skills were lacking compared to others)... And landed a 6-Figure Machine Learning Job at PwC (Big 4 Consulting Company)
I used to struggle with Imposter Syndrome.
In fact, in yesterday's email I told you my story about how it took me over 5 years to feel confident.
I'd been rejected by Facebook. And my confidence took a beating because of it.
That's why when Amit shared his story with me, it resonated.
Amit had been struggling in his career. He was paying so much attention to his peers.
Seeing their skills increase. Seeing them get the jobs.
And Amit was getting passed up.
But then something changed.
Amit took a gamble. He attended one of my Learning Labs, and made a choice.
He decided to enroll in my R program.
And that's when things started to turn around.
Amit says, "When I first started working, my skills were lacking compared to others. Now I feel like I belong and can take on any challenge. I would not have my new job if it wasn't for you. In short, you have changed my life and the direction of my career!"
Amit got the job. He's now a Machine Learning Engineer at PwC, one of the most prestigious, "Big 4" Consulting Firms in the world.
And that's what this is about.
