4 Traits, qualities that a data scientist must seek ...
1) Technical bar: Data science teams work everyday in SQL, specifically in Postgres, and expect candidates to know Python/some fluency in some sort of statistical language. Also, someone who is really comfortable with querying really large datasets.
2) Communication: we’re in roles where a lot of our day-to-day is spent getting great insights or building models and communicating results of that to stakeholders, whether that’s product managers, marketing folks or finance. It’s super key that data science candidates have good communication skills.
3) Grit, tenacity and willingness to solve hard problems: Things that DS teams solve are generally hard problems. My hope is that anyone who joins the data science team is excited about hard problems and bumping against hard challenges.
4) Passion for the arts and passion for the mission: This is not the most important but great to have. #datascience

In general, many financial experts support their clients’ desire to buy cryptocurrency, but they don’t recommend it unless clients express interest. “The biggest concern for us is if someone wants to invest in crypto and the investment they choose doesn’t do well, and then all of a sudden they can’t send their kids to college,” says Ian Harvey, a certified financial planner (CFP) in New York City. “Then it wasn’t worth the risk.” The speculative nature of cryptocurrency leads some planners to recommend it for clients’ “side” investments. “Some call it a Vegas account,” says Scott Hammel, a CFP in Dallas. “Let’s keep this away from our real long-term perspective, make sure it doesn’t become too large a portion of your portfolio.” In a very real sense, Bitcoin is like a single stock, and advisors wouldn’t recommend putting a sizable part of your portfolio into any one company. At most, planners suggest putting no more than 1% to 10% into Bitcoin if you’re passionate about it. “If it was one stock, you would never allocate any significant portion of your portfolio to it,” Hammel says.

Cash provides a cushion for risk-taking and a tool for growth.
