I find most Data Science positions are more Analytics than Science. Unless it's a position at a RAND or some sort of think tank.

This is incorrect

SCE ThatGuy82 Sep 23, 2019

Nah, I will be posting a Data Scientist position soon and whenever I start scanning Indeed for what people are posting. The roles are akin to more of a Data Engineer or Data Architect. Many hiring managers look at data scientist as monolith that basically could be anything.

Analytics

Also as an aside. We need to stop calling Data Scientist a "tech job"

Why?

SCE ThatGuy82 Sep 23, 2019

Because a Data Scientist could be a Biostatician studying how population has evolved all the way to a Google Fellow doing Machine Learning. The position is much broader than Tech. Especially since when hiring a Data Scientist your usually look for Math and Stats Majors.
