Getting started on Upwork as a platform for freelancing in Data Science and Data Engineering, most sought-after skills
🗯 Week retrospective
The pace of the blog posts has slowed a bit, but not the newsletter, so here's a new newsletter item! It has to do with the volume of work I'm (happily) facing. I've also created an account on Upwork to keep broadening my data science and data engineering skills while doing actual client work. When you're new to the platform, you face some challenges, and that's something I'll write about later.
Until then, here's what's going on out there.
