Has anyone managed to find a job as a Data Scientist with the coursera certification?
maybe better as another thread: how about the ML courses?
What is ML courses?
I've found the job thanks to other skills, but coursera classes were quite useful
I got a job as a Product Manager on a super technical team off the strength of mine. Not quite data science per se, but lots of ad-hoc analysis, use R, SQL and C# every day. Poli Sci undergrad.
Do you have engineering or stats background? With a engineering background and a decent data science understanding you can go pretty far. You will complement the others more mathematical on the team and learn from them. If you do not have engineering background, your maths must be really strong. Coursera only won't get you to any of the companies you mentioned.
