I'm the founder of the Insight Data Science Fellows Program, and the new Insight Data Engineering Fellows Program we just launched above. With the Data Science program, which helps PhDs transition to industry, we're at 70+ alumni working as data scientists at companies like Facebook, Square, LinkedIn, Airbnb, etc.

This new Data Engineering Program is NOT restricted to PhDs, and open to all professional engineers or BS/MS graduates. It's still free, just like the Data Science Program, and is designed for people who want to leverage their existing software engineering skills to transition to a career in data.

Happy to answer any questions here.

I've been following Jake's Insight Data Science program for quite some time and continue to be amazed and impressed by the quality of his fellows (all top University grads) and the quality of the companies hiring...

Super excited for his new Data Engineering program!

Hey Jake, Carl here :-)

Congrats on the launch of the new program! Really excited to see the growth and spread of the Insight program.

I remember seeing this a few months ago and that one of the requirements for applying is that your motivation is to ultimately get a job in silicon valley. And the program will facilitate that goal. Is that still the case? Is our acceptance dependent on whether we want to get a job through you guys? Are we going to be limited to the companies on your list?

I hope this program grows. The thirst for high-quality data engineers is unquenchable.

This looks awesome. I'm really excited about this. Just wondering though, how many sessions a year will there be?

All the previous fellows are PhDs/post-docs.Well.
