Week 1 at Metis Data Science Bootcamp

Allow me to introduce myself. I am an aspiring data scientist in northern California. I come from a banking background and I plan on transitioning to AI in lending. Data science in lending is still in it’s infancy and I can’t wait to delve into this world and make interesting discoveries. I have joined a bootcamp to help me transition into the data science field.

Last week I started my first week at the Metis Data Science Bootcamp. It was one of the most rigorous weeks intellectually I have ever endured. Eight hours of programming, lectures, and group project work, followed by individual project work later that evening. It’s no wonder why they call it a ‘bootcamp’. From day one we hit the ground running. Loads of information. I don’t know if I should be scared or excited about the idea that the coming weeks are going to be more intense and the concepts more complex.
