The first step in any successful data science career is acquiring the technical skills you need to perform the role.
But of course, getting a job requires more than just having those skills — you have to get a resume past application screeners by demonstrating your skills, nail technical and culture interviews, and navigate the tricky waters of salary negotiation before you actually find yourself employed at the job you want.
