Hi All,
I am a Data Analyst with 5 years of experience in Statistics, ML & AI and working in majorly in SQL, R and Python.
I want to know in which area should I focus more so that I can get a job in FAANG as a Data Scientist.
Based on online articles I find out that to be a Data Scientist in top organisation I need to focus on Data Structure & Algorithms and start practicing on Leetcode and hackerrank, but I want to know more about it and the process that I need to follow.
Also, as I am not from a software background I have never learn DS & Algo.
Thanks in advance.#dataanalytics #datascience #ai #faang #google #facebook #netflix #dataanalytics

But otherwise, yes, you will need to be solid on coding. The other competency I see for DS on top of analyst is model building and optimization. I remember Google DS was really focused on statistics, various companies tend to have their own focus for DS (and this can vary even more by team obviously).
