Hi Blind community. My GF who is pursuing a PhD in Psychometry/Statistics from UIUC also wants to be Data Scientist. She is looking for DS internship opportunities in the tech companies. Unfortunately Facebook is done with hiring PhD data science interns. Is someone willing to refer her? Also, if someone who has transitioned from PhD to being Data Scientist successfully can help out with the process, it will be amazing!! Thanks π #referral
Insight Data Science ... that is all.
This.
I think she can only enroll for this after graduation. She is currently applying for DS internship positions for PhDs
Try IBM, not the company paying biggest bucks but we like PhDs. I actually got my PhD from a non-CS/DS area
Why does she want to become a Data Scientist , just because of the hype and job opportunities ?
Her PhD field is exactly what half of data science jobs are about
I am a Data Scientist at Facebook and I feel she is definitely much more qualified than me for any DS role.
