Episode 33: Making the Shift from Data Scientist to Datapreneur

Show Notes

Data science is among the most in-demand skills of the 21st century, with opportunities existing for data scientists to make a difference and earn good money as an employee in a range of industries. Yet there has also never been a better time to be a data science entrepreneur (or datapreneur).

But for data scientists who have never experienced the entrepreneurial life and who are used to the security of a steady pay check, making the transition from employee to entrepreneur may seem like an impossible leap, regardless of how desirable it may seem.

In this episode, David Shriner-Cahn joins Dr Genevieve Hayes to discuss how data scientists can escape the corporate world and make the transition from employee to datapreneur.
