You’ll be fine anon just take a lower salary

This. I actually just got a masters in data science and I think I'll have to accept 80k-120k starting unfortunately. I'm at 130k working in finance now but I think I'm pretty topped out in finance unless I go the treasurer/head of FP&A route. Data science should have a higher cap for lower effort, long term play.

If you really need job take the advange of the fact that people are morons and ask for less money. In hard times even bad job is better that no job at all.

A data scientist? For what? Is that even a real job? You're not a scientist unless you're combining chemicals together in fancy tubes.

>> No.53332322

What does it even take to qualify for this job? Can code, have a bachelor's, and minored in math. Does it take a specialized masters or something like a bachelor's in math?

This the whole point in them shilling this data science shit

>> No.53333292

Also I keep hearing about this job. I have no idea what qualifies someone for it. Description makes it sound like one guy (data scientist) doing three people's jobs (business analyst, basic script writer, statistician). I keep hearing a salary around 120k, but people randomly pop in to say that they make a lot more while claiming to be data scientists.

It almost sounds like people are shilling the job, but I have no idea why you would shill a job like this.

Because globohomo companies and governments capture alot of data that they have no idea how to filter/display it in a way that makes sense, If you specialize in doing that, they are willing to pay.

Meme field. It's just applied statistics with programming and less actual expertise in mathematics. Data science and engineering are the next fields to be saturated after software engineering. Enjoy it while it lasts.

>> No.53335005

>>53334935
all fields are just "deeper science, but applied." Except math. OFC he has to enjoy it while it lasts, and everyone here should. as soon as AI learn to create social medias jobs and post shit on their own, we might end up having AI overlowrd running entire digital companies alone.

My point is that it is increasingly a plug-and-chug sort of job.
>herp derp just fit a neural network/random forest/linear regression model on it without understanding the dynamics of the processes from which the data comes because that's too hard
It's one thing to be an actual scientist who builds sophisticated models grounded in deep theory of economics or physics or engineering (depending on the problem) and another to be a plug-and-chug monkey who knows some basic stats and no theory to inform their blackbox models. Vast majority of people are the latter, which is why DS will go the way of software, which is now also filled with veritable niggerbrains.
