How I Went from Physics PhD to Data Scientist (Spoiler: Networking)
66I talk about the job hunt I had last year following the completion of my Physics PhD at UC Irvine. It was a long process that finally resulted in me starting my current job 4 months following the end of my PhD. I discuss how I approached getting this job, some mistakes I made along the way, and ultimately how networking was the key factor in securing the position.
