“

- It can be challenging to work with folks who want a specific answer from a dataset. This is something that I've run into in my roles. This is something I think most data scientists would run into when they're working within different organizations. It's a really tough situation to be in, because you may or may not have as much of a voice in whether or not that analysis is going to be done with or without you. So, oftentimes, you're stuck with a conundrum of do I undertake this analysis and do the best possible analysis I can with it in a way that results in the least amount of harm? Or do I back out and say, "I'm not willing to do this analysis for these reasons," and that's something every data scientist has to decide and something you should probably decide before you take a job.
