It took me four years before I built up the experience and confidence to advocate for myself and the length things take. Now I'm trying to protect newer data scientists"

"Hey, new_hire, can you build this model by Friday?" "Sure, let me just get the data" Me: No you can't. The data will take a month to get. No one is getting anything from you on Friday, because I'm not going to let our team develop a culture where data scientists work all night on thankless failing data jobs.

Kudos to you for that!

It starts with, “We need accuracy for this problem statement” and ends with “wait, lets find and prep the data first”. Timelines anyone?
