Everyone I've worked with comes from a different quant background (EE/CS/math/stats/econ/physics).

Seems like there must be some value in being able to transfer that knowledge to a new (and more important) domain, like recommending tweets.

@adamlaiacano seems like the successful short term strategy has been to “professionalize” folks with quant academic training2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@drewconway Right. But the ability to be "professionalized" isn't something you're taught. Does that ability correlate with success in DS?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@adamlaiacano well, I think the attempt to professionalize is there. Take a astrophysicist, teach Github and Spark, and how to interview1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@drewconway I guess my question is if this route (aka the one we took) is better/worse than a degree in DS...4 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
@adamlaiacano @drewconway it's not like those of us with degrees in CS learned anything all that useful about how to work professionally.
