VIRTUAL MEETUP: Data Scientist – Corporate vs Start-Up
- Thursday 25th June 20 - 12:00 to 13:30
- Zoom Webinar
For many data scientists, the thrill and excitement of joining a start-up is what they have worked towards for much of their life to date. However, for others, the challenges of plying their trade in the context of a corporate strategy is regarded as even more fulfilling in that opportunities exist:
– to deepen domain expertise
– solve complex business problems
– Create broad value to household name organisations
In some cases, such opportunities may not be mutually exclusive so join us on the 25th June at 12pm GMT+1 for a discussion on the differences between deployment of data scientists in differing business models and what it means at a personal level for:
– Career development and job satisfaction
– Development of deeper data skill and domain expertise
– Cultural differences and challenges that ensue
– How to make the best of your career choices
