It’s definitely possible to become a data scientist without a masters and no experience. I did a 9 week data science Bootcamp and I have a degree in Electronic Engineering. I previously worked in construction as a Quantity Surveyor and I got a job as machine learning scientist 3 months after completing the book camp
Needful information for freshers who are going to study masters in Data Science in UK . Please make more videos topics related, how to get into the job after masters and how to approach to it as a fresher.
I got a 2.2 in CS (admittedly didn't try hard enough) and been thinking of doing a Masters in Data Science but im not 100% on it. I'll be real and say I'm doing the DS masters to make up for the 2.2, despite being more interested in Data Analytics and rather get a job in that but I have doubts that I can land one with a 2.2 in London(I live in London and I have no previous work experience). How hard would you say a Data Science masters is in general? (I know it depends on the Uni) What would you do if you were in my position? I am genuinely lost at the moment and only have a few days to decide if I want to go forward with the DS Masters 😭
I've seen people go from an analyst to data scientist in 2 or 3 years. but some people take longer. It really depends on what you're exposed to at work. If there's already a bunch of data scientists that you get to work with, then I'd imagine it'd be much quicker to progress.
@@LeonLokk thanks mate for your opinion, not too keen in going back to uni while working as well as the ridiculous fees, I’ll probably play the long game with this 😂
I'm biased but yes, I think it's useful to have in the UK. If you can also add some interesting projects in your own time, I think the data science master's is a great thing to have to complement your CV.
Thanks for watching! Do you agree with these differences?

Really informative, clean and concise video. Looking to enter a career in data, and this video is extremely helpful. Thank you!!
Great to hear, Isam! And good luck on your journey :)
About the salary, you provided the averages from Glassdoor and Indeed, but is that what they really are in the market?

May I ask which bootcam did you complete?
Thanks for this, I found it really helpful.
Thanks Stella! Glad you found it helpful :D
Very good informative knowledge keep on the vlog
Thank you Yaw! Happy you found it useful!

Many thanks, Sachin! I'll definitely add those suggestions to my list of videos to make. Always appreciate the feedback :)

Hey Can I do Master's in Data Science from UK and do job as a Data Analyst for some experience and than switch to Data Science
i know you mentioned you can get a DS role through experience being a DA, how many years of experience do you think that process would need?

No worries! Going back to uni definitely isn't for everyone, so I get that 🙂
I am planning to do MSc in data science. I want to know does UK have good job opportunity for this profile?
I'm biased but yes, I think it's useful to have in the UK. If you can also add some interesting projects in your own time, I think the data science master's is a great thing to have to complement your CV.
Is it possible to get a data analyst job without any degree?
Yes, it's certainly possible. However, it would require much more work experience and you'll most likely end up as an analyst in the same industry.
is the salary gross income or net income
It's gross income.
So the goal is to get a data science job with the higher salary but really have it be a data analyst role “in disguise”? Got it 😂
Haha yep, sadly that's the case for many companies!
