Really? I don't know if I'm good, but I think I'm at least a "decent" programmer and I have a solid grasp of ML and Stats concepts and I've had absolutely no luck getting interviews, much less call backs for data science jobs.
- ooqr 9y agoHeck, before my first web dev job, it was VERY difficult to get a foot in the door. Now I feel like getting a restraining order on recruiters.
- rdeboo 9y agoI'd try to apply as Data Engineer, you'll be close to the data science work and can more easily pivot into there if you want.
- quadrature 9y agoIf only you were willing to work in Canada :P.
- colmvp 9y agoHave you seen the job listings for data scientists in Canada? It's paltry even here in Toronto compared to parts of the U.S. like SF which have a fraction of the population. Last time I checked, when I searched Data Scientist in SF there were 3000+ listings while in Toronto there maybe a little over a hundred. And of the few job listings I've seen, most have high standards (PhD or min. Masters, x years of experience) with old companies (banks, car companies). What's funny is that a lot of people in my circle in Canada are actually doing work for companies outside of the country (U.S., China...)
- quadrature 9y agoI was speaking in context of the company i work for. You're right but we're getting there.
