thanks - do you think there's anything obvious I might be missing coming from an academic background in terms of getting attention? I don't know how useful side projects really are, for instance (particularly vs things I've done as part of my research).

I'm in a similar place to the OP - I have a PhD in health science with R and Python experience (and a little hobby experience with TensorFlow and some AWS stuff). Is it worth doing kaggle competitions? I've heard mixed things - some people say companies ignore them, others say they're useful evidence on a CV. Thanks!
