Hi everyone, I have a technology background and I am currently going for my MBA in a top ten school. I have been looking into the data analysts/scientists area. Is this a field worth getting into? Does any have any experience in this area? Great salary? Work life balance? Do you need to know how to code python etc? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks TC: 92k YOE: 9
Data scientist are still being hired all the time, but their requirements / standards are higher now. Before anyone can get into it . With a basic bachelors degree. But now it's all these PhDs...
Good field but was better 3-5 years ago. It’s gotten more competitive and at the top places you aren’t really considered unless you are already working at another top place, or alternatively have a PHD or some unique skill set. The supply caught up with the demand very fast.
