Education-based Knowledge vs. Autodidactic Learning
Most likely, this community is largely autodidactic. I'm curious about the experiences of those who are already performing freelance work – what kinds of organizations do you carry out assignments for? Are these small companies, or have you also taken on projects with larger companies, say, with 500+ employees? In the past, I've collaborated with freelancers who were truly skilled in the realm of data visualization and analysis but fell short when it came to handling and storing data effectively. Do data scientists perceive the data storage and modeling aspect as unimportant, or do you believe that it's also part of the foundational skills of a professional in this field?
