Hello @raghavaseem! Thanks for sharing.
I liked how you documented your project and explained each step/decision you make.
Here are some ovservations:
category_of_service
you can use the OR
operator to avoid repeating the New
or Veteran
categories.You can find more project’s style tips here.
Happy coding!
Thanks for the feedback! Your inputs have been duly noted, and I’m pretty sure they will help me going ahead.
Cheers!
I like your presentation of the data preparation and analysis. It’s helped me decide to put more of my markdown commentary before each code section, as you have done, rather than after, as encouraged in the Dataquest instructions. I also like your use of python comments where breaking things up into separate code and markdown cells seems too “heavy.”
In cells 40, 46 &46 you show the service categories sorted in alphabetical order. Unfortunately this obscures the ordinal relationship between the categories. In my project I came up with one solution to this in cell #11 in my analysis notebook.
Be careful about the language you use and the impressions they leave.
For example:
Permanent Employees are more dissatisfied than Temporary/Casual/Contractual workers
We can’t conclude this, because this dataset only covers employees who have left their positions, rather than all employees, and we’ve focused only on those who resigned.
Further, keep in mind that there are two sides to any binary comparison. If people aren’t resigning due to job dissatisfaction, why are they resigning? What other reasons do Temporary/Casual/Contractual have for resigning? If you think about it, those reasons may relate to the reasons they weren’t permanent employees in the first place. They might prefer a permanent position, somewhere, and resign when offered one. They might have other priorities, like school, or family, or another job that matters more to them, and, given a conflict, they might resign in favor of the higher priority. It could be that Temporary/Casual/Contractual are just as satisfied or dissatisfied as permanent employees, but the % of them citing job dissatisfaction is lower because more of them have other reasons.
Finally, keep in mind the big picture. This dataset doesn’t tell us about overall employment in each institute, each category, each age group, etc. What if there are 10x as many teachers as there are administrators? If that’s the case, then teachers look, overall, more satisfied than administrators.
I’ve struggled a bit with communicating these things clearly in my own projects, so I hope what I’m saying makes sense here.
