Panel Discussion on Career Development
SFASA has
successfully hosted a holiday event with a panel discussion on career
development and received great feedbacks for last three years. This
event serves as a great venue for social networking among our members. A
panel of well-established statisticians/data scientists will answer questions,
alleviate concerns, and clarify confusions each attendee may have. The
goal is to give our members, particularly budding statisticians and data
scientist, some practical guide on making the right choice for their career,
and how to be successful and happy in their current position.
