Your First 90 Days as a Data Scientist

A successful onboarding for a data scientist in their first 90 days focuses on building connections, domain context, and data knowledge. It is crucial to meet with managers and cross-functional partners, understand the business through documentation and AI tools, and gain hands-on experience with the tech stack and data. Early contributions, such as improving documentation or suggesting process improvements, help build trust and demonstrate ownership. The process can be broken down into a 12-week plan moving from foundational learning to taking ownership of a domain.
