Originally posted by PlanB View PostI have been toying with the idea of getting into data science as there is some overlap with my skillset but the route does not look easy. A few years ago it was PhD only but there have been a raft of MSc courses open up (some remote online) and thought about giving it a go.
However there will literally be hundreds if not thousands of Data Science graduates coming out of uni in the next year or two and I am not sure if the roles are there for them.
If you like stats and programming you will love Data Science however I have sat with guys doing practical data science and personally it is something I found a little bit boring.
You don't need a PHD but if you know a bit of programming, good Python and a bit of Spark/R then you can get in.
How many people were in front-office in the 90s and 00's that were there because they could work Excel and knew the financial products/instruments? If you don't know the answer it is fine but the answer is: hundreds of them.Comment

How about Data Engineer? That seems to be very popular as well. AFAIK, the data engineer would be the person who runs the pipeline to get the data in the database and wouldn't be doing the statistical analysis on the data.Comment

I am planning on branching out my skills to encompass Data Engineering next year.Comment

Originally posted by eek View PostI know it's hard work and not something you may be able to do, but you can either fret for 6 weeks or accept it and enjoy a stress free Christmas.
Now I'm not saying don't look but have zero expectations when you look and don't waste much time on it. Spend 10 minutes at lunchtime and then call it quits.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment
