Reflections of a Data Scientist's Daily Experience

I'm currently a data scientist at McKinsey's Quantumblack. I've noticed certain crucial skills that aspiring data scientists may overlook. I aim to share my insights on these skills and create a resource for newcomers.
I've come a long way since driving from Boston to Seattle for the Metis data science bootcamp. I'm grateful for the opportunities I've had at top consulting companies, where I've been at the forefront of groundbreaking technologies. My goal is to discuss the essential hard and soft skills for thriving in this field and share my ongoing learning and development.
