You plausibly could get an entry level programming job, or entry level data scientist job. You won't know until you try - what kind of jobs would you like to do?
- seanccox 9y agoI'm interested in both paths, though at the moment, I feel an analytical position more closely aligns with what I do on a day-to-day basis. Because the onboarding process can be long and risky (for companies), I don't presently feel like a very good bet. So, in looking for a 'job', I'm really looking for a way to perform structured tasks that support larger data science projects. Again, because I'm teaching myself all of this and solving new problems as I come to know of their existence, it's difficult to aim for a career path. I can see some of the trees and I'm aware of the forest, but I certainly don't know its scope, if you know what I mean?
