I graduated in anthropology. In the last year of the course was doing Erasmus in Brno, Czech Republic with a friend and we both noticed that a forensic software tool used by all forensic anthropologists for biological profiling was really bad. I mean, so bad it was almost divination. Because it's difficult to find a job in anthropology, we decided to create a startup and develop a new better tool. So we learned R, aggregated a lot of human skeletal data (it was so hard because there's a "GDPR for human anatomical data") and even published papers on it. It was a success except that nobody bought it. I mean nobody, they all used our papers and online code to do their own thing. In retrospective we were both idiots with no business sense. So of course it failed hard and had to find a job somewhere else. From there on it was always on LinkedIn: I worked for an environmental consulting company until they fired me and other colleagues because they couldn't pay us; then moved to a Japanese zaibatsu where I lost my mind wrangling spreadsheets for the quarterly reports. It was a lot of work and since this was a nearshoring job the pay was very very low. So I kept my LinkedIn profile as "actively looking for opportunities" and a recruiter for an investment bank contacted me about a position in banking operations. I went to the interview and left in the middle of it since that job consisted in copying and pasting stuff in Excel all day long. A week later she called me back, apologized for wasting my time (!?) and offered a position as project management officer for a team that implements some machine learning stuff and bots across the whole company. No experience in PM at all and with a basic understanding of Python and R so impostor syndrome kicked in really hard but after 6 months here I am, doing just fine. I want this to be my last job, I'm learning more statistics and python so that I can make my own forecasts and trading bots.
