With data science every company has some kind of team that’s doing something with data. Whether they’re building data pipelines, build dashboards/reports or creating models for some kind of product. You have a much larger scope of what you can do with DS skills. You have transferrable skills that can be used anywhere that has a database (sql) and any team that’s looking for reporting or building models (R/ python). You have so many industries you can choose to be a leader in with your expertise of those datasets. You’re always going to be valued and even if you decide that DS isn’t for you . You have the skills to pivot into other tech career paths. Your cap is in the millions as you can manage an entire DS group being a driving force of ROI for a company and helping their bottom line
