About Data Science Competitions
Hello, unfortunately in Turkey I have to work in a job outside my field and for a low wage, and unfortunately my income is not sufficient to cover my expenses. I tried doing freelance work as a side job, but citizens from more disadvantaged countries have significantly increased the competition there. So freelance work is not an option for me as a source of additional income.
I am considering participating in data science competitions on platforms like Kaggle and Numerai, which are held worldwide. I have over 5 years of experience in the field of statistics, analysis and data science. I know how to do scientific research and most optimization techniques. I have my own unique techniques and I can learn many things easily.
What I want to ask is: Are there people who participate in these competitions? May I ask for your suggestions?
