episode How I chose my masters degree (as an international student) | Tina Huang cover

Description

How I chose my masters degree (as an international student) I'm a FAANG data scientist but my masters was in computer science? This was actually very intentional! In this video, I outline how I chose my computer science masters degree. I was an international student looking to study in the United States who did not have a technical degree in computer science, engineering, or anything even remotely related. I was gonna be a doctor lol. ______________________________________________________________________ Ken's video on how he chose his masters degree: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=domVw8isGOI&t=303s Our collab video on 7 Things to Look For in a Masters For Data Science: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji7DtgUeKCI ______________________________________________________________________ You might also be interested in these videos: Upenn MCIT experience: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsQU_3n0IYE The Resume that got me my FAANG job (entry level data scientist): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vx-x-yXXE9I Day in the life of a FAANG Data Scientist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCi6fWuI8r4 ______________________________________________________________________ Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2UXDak6o7rBm23k3Vv5dww/?sub_confirmation=1 ______________________________________________________________________ Check out StrataScratch for SQL interview prep: https://stratascratch.com/?via=tina Also my SQL data science interview question walkthroughs in real interview style: hhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Td-cmLfQ7uU&list=PLVD3APpfd1tuXrXBWAntLx4tNaONro5dA&index=1 ______________________________________________________________________ Contact: youtube: youtube comments are by far the best way to get a response from me!

I was pre-med studying pharmacology at the University of Toronto until I finally accepted that I would make a terrible doctor. I didn't know what to do with myself so I worked for a year as a research assistant for a bioinformatics lab where I learned how to code and became interested in data science. I then did a masters in computer science (MCIT) at the University of Pennsylvania before ending up at my current job in tech :) I have accepted that I will forever be a lazy person so have since decided to embrace that. My motto is to always minimize effort and maximize outcome! ______________________________________________________________________ Contact youtube: youtube comments are by far the best way to get a response from me! linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tinaw-h/ email for business inquiries only: hellotinah@gmail.com *If you're reaching out through linkedin, please leave a youtube comment just letting me know that you reached out :) ______________________________________________________________________ *The StrataScratch affiliate program give me a small portion of the sales price at no cost to you.
