The answer to what a data scientist does, is very different when you ask a self-proclaimed data scientist and a person that hires a "data Scientist". This creates can create disappointment on both sides. It ranges (from the hiring side) from: "good if you know excel and you will report figures to management" to "please only apply if you have 2 Ph.Ds and 20 years of experience in C". So it is a bit wide... the self-proclaimed "data scientists" probably goes from know a programming language/know visualising/know statistics up to "X Ph.Ds and Y years of experience where Y > 20"
