A lot of great points. I definitely acknowledge that I wouldn't be where I am without a lot of others' tutorials.

I particularly like your third point - I obviously can't share the proprietary work I've done, but this is something I could share and would demonstrate (hopefully) some of my competencies.

And you're in top-20 I-banking? So most likely in a huge city, with a huge swath of data science talent. The issue isn't folks not being able to work remotely.

That's not really a time to brag about, my friend. Most people finish in about four hours.

Sort of. But the "Average Mac selling price (4q average)" is an abysmal chart. The first-glance takeaway is, "Wow! The average Mac price has almost quadrupled recently!" when in reality it has increased about $150, or about 12% from two years ago.

Absolutely a serious question here: what is the big deal with companies e.g. Facebook and Google using your data for profit?

These companies provide services that you, a user of their platforms, want. Providing those services is not free, and yet the prevailing sentiment across the internet seems to be, "Wow, I can't believe FB was using my data to sell me ads!"
