The Prompt: Microsoft sees all the big companies creating original video content, and they want to get in on the fun. They have decided to create a new movie studio, but the problem is they don’t know anything about creating movies. They have hired you to help them better understand the movie industry. Your team is charged with doing data analysis and creating a presentation that explores what type of films are currently doing the best at the box office. You must then translate those findings into actionable insights that the CEO can use when deciding what type of films they should be creating.
I’ve been working in Construction Management for the last eight years. I love many aspects of construction and many parts also drive me crazy. Even with starting Data Science, I’m hoping it leads me into a career largely based in the physical world. There are so many efficiencies that can be realized in renewable energy, manufacturing, and vertical farming. Having a background in construction will mean I can bring my knowledge of infrastructure systems and what is actually realistic to data analysis and real world data based solutions.
