Traditionally,  New Years resolutions are something to the effect of losing 15 lbs, or quitting some bad habit.  For this group, I wonder if anyone has any Data Science Resolution for 2021?  Build a portfolio?  Finish a coursera course? Get some certifications?

It’s be fun to hear what everyone is thinking about and would love to collaborate if there is an opportunity.

I love this question, thanks for asking the community. What is yours?

My personal resolution is to launch a new analytics product. We've been focusing a lot on talent and recruiting here, and it's been a lot of fun... but I can see how this relates to broader talent and HR analytics challenges companies have. After seeing some of the research in this space (e.g., this handbook), I'd love to spend 2021 learning as much as possible about this space.

Wojciech, that sounds super interesting.  Looking forward to see/hear any sneak peeks on this and I’m sure this community is more than happy to give raw and unfiltered (but constructive) feedback.

As for me,  I’m trying really really hard to have a “Just do it” mentality when it comes to my Data Science development.  In 2020, I will say I got a bit too obsessed with job hunting, which led to me chasing the data science technologies a bit too much (OOP programming, deployment theories, portfolios, fancy algorithms, trying to do what the superstars of DS are doing )and in the end,  it resulted in a whole lot of nothingat the end of the day because of the sheer overwhelmingness. And to tell your the truth, since I wasn’t familiar with all these things, I wasn’t too interested in it, which led me to procrastinate.

However, stepping a big step back, there’s 2 things I’m committing to doing ( have already started), which is 1) get the AWS Cloud practitioner certification, and 2)pass the Tensorflow certification exam.  It’s in line with my interests, it’s not too foreign,   And it will give me good fundamentals and reinforcement to what I already know.

Other than that,  also just a general mindset shift.  Its so easy to get stuck in the job search cycle, that you put off your current role. However,  I do think with enough effort, I can leverage my current work and turn it into something meaningful for future roles

Hi HL! Whats Tensorflow course are u taking? My goal for 2021 is to build my first neural net model end to end!! Id love to know what courses u'd recommend or have already taken or would recommend.
