Course overview

Advance Your Career in Data Science

Are you an experienced data scientist feeling:

✋🏼Stuck in your career progression and couldn't get promoted?

✋🏼 Frustrated to communicate your value to stakeholders?

✋🏼Scared of advocating for yourself?


You're not alone. I've been there, too. My promotion was once denied, and I struggled with creating impact and building influence on my team. However, through my 7-year career in Amazon, I discovered the strategies that not only made me a senior data scientist but also helped my mentees successfully grow to the senior level.


After this course, you'll:


✅ Secure the promotion you deserve

✅ Lead high-impact data science & ML projects with confidence

✅ Master stakeholder management and effective communication

✅ Find a career path that leverages your unique strengths

(See the curriculum part below to learn more.)


Many students who took the course find it "career-changing" and wish they had taken it sooner.

Daliana Liu

I'm an ex-Amazon Senior Data Scientist with 7 years of experience in data science & ML. I have 200K followers on Linkedin talking about data science and career. I host a top 200 US tech podcast "the data scientist show".


I have a Master degree from UC-Irvine in Statistics. I have worked on various domain in data science&ML: I built the first time series forecasting model for advertising at Boingo Wireless; analyzed and helped launch over 100 A/B tests at Amazon.com and have a US patent on experimentation with my colleagues. I built ML models for AWS customers from various industries to accelerate their business and products.


When I started my career, I felt lost and struggled to meet expectations and had fears that I wasn't good enough. I had to figure out how to navigate my own career and learned how to find allies and sponsors for my career, and eventually got promoted twice in Amazon and became a senior DS leading high-impact projects and coached 20+ people to help them grow their career and find their paths.


Now, I'm passionate about sharing what has helped me and my mentees with other data scientists who are early in their career and not sure what they are doing. After this 2-day course, you'll learn how to communicate with stakeholders, how to iterate projects and have impact on your team, and how to build influence and get promoted.
