What is the job description? I know a couple of people with no STEM background landing such positions and wonder what they do
Amazon has multiple job roles with this title. Majority of them do data engineering.
Nope 90-95% of data scientists have stem background .usually MIS/stat/engineering/physics .Havent come across anyone without a STEM background -possible outliers and Exceptions exist
That's what I thought but these two people are literature and government undergrad majors, and it shocked me...
The one on my team has a MS in statistics; not sure which "data scientists" you're referring to but unless they are some sort of savant auto-didact; really doubt they have even the word "science" anywhere near their title.
