"Am I doing real data science work?" That is a question we hear too often from data scientists. And that is a problem because as long as you are not sure yourself, you can be easily distracted from doing what is really important.

In this episode, we share with you what we see as real data science work. It is not a popular definition, because it gets outside the bubble of data science blog posts. But it will show you a clear direction on how to create meaningful impacts in the real world.

BTW, if you are not a data scientist yet, but want to become one, you should really attend our webinar. We will demystify the transition into data science. We will show you the most effective way to build your skills. And we will advise you on the four possible options you can take to go from where you are to landing a data science job in as little as 9 months. Find out more here.

In this episode, we talk about how you can make yourself future proof and some other questions that people are too afraid to ask.
