In reply to Victoria.

hey Victoria,

my number one suggestion would be to learn SQL and Python. (In this order.)
These are the tools that you have to know if you want to be a data scientist…
Stats and the rest can come later — but learning these languages will give you an idea if you would enjoy this field.
(See my SQL and Python tutorials.)

I’ll release a new (free) video course soon, where I give you more details and practical advices on how to become a data scientist!
Stay tuned!

In reply to Meerej.

hey Meerej,

sure – I think with that many years experience in finance the most important first step for you would be to learn coding. Starting with SQL and continuing with Python. (The tutorials series on the blog will guide you through step-by-step.)

Plus, I’d recommend to join the How to Become a Data Scientist Live Webinar where I’ll talk about the topic in depth — it will be next Tuesday and it’s free. : )
