I am new to Kaggle and never teamed up here.\nIf you had both solo and team experience I would like to hear your views in terms of following aspects and more;\n- Fun: Which one was more fun?\n- Learning: Which one did you learn more?\n- Satisfaction: Which one did you enjoy most at the end?\n- Success: Are you able to say you wouldn't get a similar score if you haven't teamed up?\n- Difficulties: Which one you have faced more problems(ie. on solo did you get stuck a lot? on team did you have a lot of coordination problems? Did you face problems like unbalanced contributions(one does most of the work)?\n- Anything else?(Did you have time zone difference problems/advantages? How much did having more processing power help you(maybe not much because eventually you are limited by 2 submission per day)?
\n\nAny insight would greatly help
