In my personal experience, I found the staff at Data Society to be incredibly helpful. I enjoyed their class and learned a lot in a short time. I decided to pursue a Master's in Analytics immediately following the course. Data Society has been incredibly supportive by reaching out to me monthly to check in, offering me advice, sharing their experiences, and answering any questions I have had. I would highly recommend Data Society to anyone thinking about taking a course in Data Science.
