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

China’s stock markets are some of the largest in the world, with total market capitalization reaching RMB 79 trillion (US$12.2 trillion) in 2020. China’s stock markets are seen as a crucial tool for driving economic growth, in particular for financing the country’s rapidly growing high-tech sectors.Although traditionally closed off to overseas investors, China’s financial markets have gradually been loosening restrictions over the past couple of decades. At the same time, reforms have sought to make it easier for Chinese companies to list on onshore stock exchanges, and new programs have been launched in attempts to lure some of China’s most coveted overseas-listed companies back to the country.
Spiking bond yields driving sharp losses in tech stocks
A spike in interest rates since the start of the year has accelerated a rotation out of high-growth technology stocks and into value stocks poised to benefit from a reopening of the economy. The Nasdaq has fallen more than 10% over the past month as the Dow has soared to record highs, with a spike in the 10-year US Treasury yield acting as the main catalyst. It recently surged to a cycle high of more than 1.60% after starting the year below 1%. But according to Jim Paulsen, the Leuthold Group's chief investment strategist, rising interest rates do not represent a long-term threat to the stock market. Paulsen expects the 10-year yield to cross 2% by the end of the year.
A spike in interest rates and its impact on the stock market depends on the economic backdrop, according to Paulsen. Rising interest rates amid a strengthening economy "may prove no challenge at all for stocks," Paulsen said.
