It has been 2 years ever since I started my data science journey. Boy, that was one heck of a roller coaster ride!

There were many highs and lows, and of course, countless cups of coffee and sleepless nights.

I failed a lot, learned a lot, and of course, grew a lot as a data scientist along the journey.

Throughout my journey in these 2 years, from writing on Medium, speaking at meetups and workshops, sharing my experience on LinkedIn, consulting clients on data science projects, to the current stage of teaching data science in education, I find joy and fulfilment in sharing and teaching to help others in data science and make an impact.

At the end of the day, it all boils down to one simple fact — that I’m moving towards my mission — Making data science accessible to everyone.

If you’re interested, feel free to check my previous LinkedIn post on why I decided to transition from a data scientist to becoming a data science instructor — a.k.a teacher.

In this article, for the first time, I’ll consolidate everything that I’ve learned and condense all of these into 5 lessons that I’ve learned in 2 years as a data scientist.

If you’re just starting out in data science and wondering what to learn…

Or you’re looking for a job in data science…

Or you’re already working in data science space…

I hope you’ll find these 5 lessons helpful to you as a data scientist!

Enough of talking… Let’s get started!
