Quantifying My Transition from Academia to Data Science
- wsxcde 11y agoI think the data would be more interesting if it was presented as a stacked bar plot or a set of pie charts. ed: also the fact that you do way fewer experiments; isn't that mostly because you moved from neuroscience to retail? I don't know what neuroscientists in industry do, but I'm assuming they'd have to spend plenty of time in experiments too, is that right? Or do they just hire a bunch of minions to do the dirty work?
- 6stringmerc 11y agoAn interesting approach to framing the different avenues. I have experience with some Post Docs but limited exposure to the cohort of Data Scientists. Therefore, one of my questions regarding the spike in time spent on "analysis and learning" is with respect to the population within each sphere. As in, I wonder if in the Data Science position there are fewer Data Scientists "on task" than in Academia environment, where if there are more Experimental Neuroscientist Post Docs, then the "on task" time would be (naturally?) more stratified. Or, in simpler terms, being 1 of X versus 1 of Y might have a material impact?
