They’re probably in the wrong company. Are you suggesting there are isn’t an explosion of jobs and applications requiring advance math and machine learning or statistical inference? If so you are off the mark.
- quickben 9y agoDepends how you look at it. Any decent Comp. Sci. University will have enough math and statistics.
- junkscience2017 9y agoI am absolutely saying that the expected case for data science is writing basic sql
- Asdfbla 9y agoYou're right of course, but still there is a point: For 1 'intellectually' interesting data science job created there's probably 10 that have more to do with data massaging and all the relatively boring logistical stuff that come with data science. Doesn't invalidate your point, but the majority of jobs under the very broad 'data science' label just aren't super interesting after all. Guess you just have to be careful to examine exactly what a specific 'data science' position entails.
- wakkaflokka 9y agoI've found this to be very true. I've got friends who were hired as data scientists, paid a great salary, and are finding themselves doing basic reporting and SQL querying all day. No statistical modeling, and certainly no building anything.
