Hi, I was just wondering if it’s possible to get into data scientist, analytics roles (not ML/research) with just a bachelors in STEM. I see people say how these roles are SQL and basic statistics/business acumen, but do most people in these roles have a masters/phD? Thanks!

Yes. There's often more bachelors than PhDs in those teams, I was one.

Definitely possible.

Possible but you’re competing against ppl with masters from Stanford / Harvard / MIT

Masters seems to be the sweet spot for this. I agree.
