Hello forum members, my brother is pursuing Datascience after 9+ years as Sales Manager and does not hold a college degree. How likely will he be able to land his first job in DS field? What salary can he expect? Your wise thoughts, feedback and any similar experiences will be appreciated. Thank you in advance. #datascience #fresher #salesexperience
Without even a bachelors, getting interviews and standing out will be near impossible for openings on skilled teams. If your friend just wants any old team, then this can be done with networking
I would say if you really want to go in tech field, try for Business Analyst, or a Product Analyst role. IMHO it takes pretty hardcore tech experience to be a data scientist (statistics, data Warehousing, machine learning, python/C/C++ programming, AB Testing, some amounts of data structures and algorithms).
Yeah although some Data Scientist roles are glorified data analyst positions
