I think the point is that the person with academic research experience dealing with messier social sciencey economic data would/should have basic junior SDE level programming skill.
If not, say that his research is conducted in excel, I'd still rather have the former.
- natalyarostova 7y agoYeah. I agree with you, as I have both the academic research skills and the SDE level programming skills as a DS (by only doing a masters I was able to get out of academia earlier and develop some SDE skills instead of writing a dissertation). But every once in a while we hire someone who is in their early 30s and just finished academia, and despite sucking at engineering, can blow everyone away scientifically. I think a well crafted 2-pizza team can support 1 or 2 of those people.
- Aperocky 7y ago> 2-pizza team Unrelated, but since you spoke of this, I just want to tell you whoever came up with this term severely underestimated our teams appetite.
