Ask HN: What skills do you want from your data scientist?

• FroshKiller 8y ago
  You should be able to communicate clearly with a non-technical audience.

  - a can-do attitude, with the willingness to be open minded and learn new tools - a robust understanding of statistical methods and common pitfalls - the ability to communicate succinctly - broad is better than deep (but don’t be too shallow, it’s a balance) - excellent data vis and “munging” skills - you need to be able to pivot, slice, filter quickly - a date scientist should slice and group like a sysadmin uses the cli - in a rapid and composable way - a good sense of humour

  Not convince execs/managers that machine learning, NLP and "AI" are magic solutions for everything.
