Representative perspectives
Switched from Computer Science
We asked: What changed for you when you switched from Computer Science to Data Science?
less pure coding, more interesting to me personally!
Enjoyment & fit
We asked: What about studying Data Science hasn't matched what you hoped for?
It’s a good major but just didn’t work out for me cuz I decided that I don’t like analytics role. I’m leaning towards people roles in startup which doesn’t really benefits from my curriculum or degree.
