Hey there team! Gosh, it sure has been awhile — it’s probably not worth reading anything below this post, since that was the old me, and I’m much older and wiser now. Seriously, just ignore anything you see underneath this post, it’s the mindless ramblings of a child with a tiny, tiny brain.
Anyway, since there’s a link to this site on my resume, and I work in data-heavy fields, I just thought I’d drop a quick post in here to talk about how great Big Data is in case there are any future employers reading! Anyway, it’s pretty wonderful, and you should try it out. Here’s three reasons why:
- Data — it helps you make decisions, and it’s never wrong. How could it be? It’s literal facts, and facts can’t be wrong. Or even misinterpreted in any way. So, do what the data tells you to do. It is your master and you have no choice but to obey.
- I really like working with it. Some people get annoyed by the fact that data can be messy and hard to work with, but for me, it’s just another mystery to solve. And I love mysteries!
- Working with data makes you smart. Like, really smart. Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory probably works with data, and think about how smart that guy is! (Love that show btw, super funny, not derivative and caricaturish.) If you work with data, you’re obviously extremely capable, and you should probably be paid a lot of money for whatever you do — and get hella benefits too. Like 401(k) match and primo healthcare at least, plus probably a sizable chunk of equity and maybe a gym membership and like free massages and stuff.
Anyway, that’s why I love big data! Stop reading now, please.
