Being as how "Data Science" is such a nebulous term, what is wrong with such a posting? I'd say that a data analyst with some advanced math and programming ability is a pretty rare skillset. Is it any surprise such a person is in high demand?
- telchar 8y agoWhen looking for data science jobs it's nice to know from the prospective hire side that your skills will be used well. Coming into a job only to find out you're way overqualified can be a downer, particularly in a field where you need to keep your teeth sharp. I think the same goes for programming - imagine finding out on your first day you'll just be doing user testing and not writing any code.
