    I've worked as a Data Scientist in France, from 2016 to 2022, and realized one major thing: companies do NOT need Data Scientists in the first place. Moreover, most compagnies just use "Data Scientist" as a label for their data-related positions. However, Data Engineers and Data Analysts are currently in demand on the market (in France, as far as I'm concerned), as the roles are less ambiguous than those of Data Scientists. Hence my switch to a Data Analyst position at the end of 2022.
    And I would argue that a Data Analyst with strong coding skills, who is able to accurately translate business questions into technical problems or build autonomously business metrics in databases is the true MVP of the data world as of now.
    People aspiring to be Data Scientists should definitely specialize in a technical field (CV, NLP, reinforcement learning, etc.) or a specific business scope rather than being "a jack of all trades, master of none" Data Scientist, which is an evolving (not dying) breed anyway.

    I didn’t know how much of a fast track to a good job being a data analyst could be. An old co worker from my first engineering job out of college was a data analyst, he got his certification at a community college, and the guy was making nearly 100k per year. Basically more than I was making right out of college, I was just impressed at how little time he spent in school compared to how much he was making, for a lot of engineers, you pretty much have to “prove” your experience/expertise before you start making those big$$$. I just wish I’d done more research before I went to college initially, I probably would’ve did that job.

    My reflection on data science is the following: "Everybody talks about data science, however nobody knows and gives a clear definition of what a data science does." I think that since it is a new discipline, it will undergo the same transformation as the so-called "Web master" in its time, when there was no clear line of what a web developer should know. I think that the term data science will disappear over time, when the fields of study are well defined within the area of artificial intelligence, which has been responsible for these "cool" definitions of pure marketing.

    I did study statistics and a bit of computer science and I went for analyst. I would never go for a data scientist job. Data scientist is a highly specialized workfield where nobody but your colleagues have an idea of what you do. If you want to get into management positions sometime in the future, being a data scientist makes it way harder. The analyst talks to all the department leads, knows about most things the company does and wants and is therefore more equipped for management positions. Data scientists don't have that and live a bit in their own bubble.

  • @kylelo8953
    @kylelo8953 Před rokem +28

    I actually am doing both. I took a bootcamp in data analytics and it is straight up just tech stack on tech stack. Meaning you just kind of "do things.". Examples like cleaning data, visualizations, basic EDA with basic statistics, excel, formatting tables, etc. I'm going to school for my masters in Data Science and omfg it is way more abstract and is practically a statistics degree. More than 85% of the courses I have to take is statistical mathematics focus. You do a lot of Vector Calculus along with linear algebra. You are practically learning to think and implement rather than be a "coder". There is less emphasis on learning tech stacks. My statistics professor always makes fun of us Data Science students and asks what is the difference between statistics and Data Science. My answer is you can do both coding and statistics on a mediocre level, but you are never really good at both. In my previous two companies the data scientist isn't a python developer like what most people probably think. They are usually writing formulas and equations on the board and using python to automate and calculate their models. I have a lot of Full-Stack developer friends who always confuses data scientists with python developers to this day lol.

      freelance platforms are already very saturated.

    Hey there! I have a brief question regarding data analyst roles. I'm currently applying to Bachelors programs and I wanted to know if doing a general business degree will suit a data analyst profile? I understand that many do computer science and economics degrees before become data analysts, but I'm hoping that a CS or Econ degree isn't a must for this field. Also, will the lack of a math heavy focus in my bachelors impact my future prospects as a data analyst?

    I want to become a data architect, I'm a mathematics student and my project is to finish my studies at the age of 25 with 3 master degrees: applied math, mathematical engineering, data science.
    Is this choice smart considering that my university fees are extremely low?
    My retirement perspectives is so bad, I'd retire at the age of 75 circa.
    Wasting two years of experience in the long run may not be that tragic if I get broader basis, what do you think?

    I started my career as an analyst for a few years mostly building Tableau reports and transitioned (same company) to data science where now my projects are basically translating problems into a statistical context and either doing inference, optimization or building estimators. However, the biggest problem with my company is that our process of deployment is garbage. It's something we're actively working on because there's so much red tape involved with "what you can and can't do"

    I'm currently studying for the Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate. My plan is to start as a Data Analyst, build a strong foundation on coding, maths and statistics, learn ML frameworks such as TensorFlow and OpenCV and eventually transistion into the Computer Vision field as a Data Scientist. Is that a reasonable path to take?

    Hi there I like working with the data but I am struggling with DSA and Machine Learning. Yes I’ve tried DSA alot but I got fed up. And this is not like I started just now or few weeks earlier. I’ve done the DSA back in college so I know how basically Prims, Kruskal, Djikstra, Bellman-Ford, etc algorithm works but I never enjoyed doing that. But I liked query languages like SQL, MA Access. Yes I suck at understanding Normalisation lil bit.
    I have joined Data Science live course but my mind is blowing there.
    Should I switch to Data Analytics or let Data Science continue?

I want to stick to python and data analysis, but i am stuck. not sure whether to learn SQL or top it up with HTML, i feel html kinda feel fun and easy at this point. also where to learn. there are so many platforms

    It's been my observation that data analysts also build machine learning models. In some of the courses or boot camps, data analytics students also need to master regression models, classification models, clustering, etc. The line between data science and data analytics can be blurred. Can you speak about that? I think data analysts also need to learn a lot to build up an arsenal of tools besides just Tableau and SQL
