I'm considering a career transition from finance to data science. As a first step I intend to take a MS in this field, I'm 44 age old. Is this not a foolish idea?
@DSCV-YT6 күн бұрын
It depends on your background. Most programs require you to have a pretty solid background in linear algebra, calculus, probability/statistics, and coding. There are also plenty of online and part-time master's programs dedicated for professionals who plan to transition into the field. Check those out!

Can you talk more about the competition in the field? Average LinkedIn data science job has over 1500 applicants, seems daunting to even begin to get into the field with such competition waiting

@jakes230520 күн бұрын
@@DSCV-YT Cool. I'm also curious as to why there is such crowded competition in the first place - so many media outlets hype data science as extremely in-demand, every company needs them etc. And yet no one seems to be able to get a data science job. Is there just a glut of data scientists because of the hype? Or are there lots of applicants who may have only done a few online classes or certificates, but relatively few qualified MS or PhD data scientists? Just want a better picture of the field.
@DSCV-YT20 күн бұрын
Yeah, a supply-demand issue could be a part of this. The way most people apply is also a problem. Easy Apply is easy so everyone does it but it's really difficult to stand out in an applicant pool if you apply without any connections to the company. I think in this market, referrals are the way to go. Only 7% of applicants come with a referral, but they lead to 30-50% of the hires. www.zippia.com/advice/employee-referral-statistics/

Data science is such an awesome career. It involves being able to grasp different concepts and put them all together; math: calculus, stats, probability; programming: Python, sql, R and more if you’re in specialized field. What you can do with this is exciting, especially in this technological fast advancing era that we’re in. AI, machine learning, NLP, it just seems like you can do so much. You absolutely need to be good at math to thrive in this field, but if you enjoy crunching numbers just like I do then look into DS.
@TheDart69Ай бұрын
Thank you for a very valuable video. I am just at the stage of changing my profession from construction engineer to Data Scientist. I love to automate various things, I like to learn new things and in fact since I was a child I wanted to become a programmer. However, I think a counter-question to your questions should be asked: what is your work environment like? My current one is very toxic. Nowadays, the construction engineer has no respect and is treated as a cockroach who is forever destroying the architect's brilliant ideas and generating unnecessary costs. At the end of the day, the raw construction is not seen by anyone. It just is. On top of that, everything is done byond the payoff limits, which generates tremendous time pressure, for work that is cretative and cannot be defined in a specific time frame. Either I will come up with a solution in 2h or in 20h ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ That's why the question about the working environment is unalterably important. If you are working as a Data Scientist, struggling with data, cleaning it, looking everywhere for additional information, and at the end a burly man comes and says that he has taken too long and knows the answer in advance, and what you have actually been doing for the last month - it makes you shy away from any work. I do not think that it is like that. Therefore, I think that despite the difficulties arising from the nature of the profession as a Data Scientist, you are nevertheless perceived as a specialist and a person of great competence. There is an understanding, however, that you work on a matter that is not known, on which you do not know the answer directly. This human part is very important to me.
@DSCV-YTАй бұрын
I'm sorry to hear about your toxic work environment, that's awful. Unfortunately the work environment in data science can be toxic too. There can be strict deadlines on creative and unpredictably complex tasks, your manager might question whether you spent your time effectively, your coworkers can be awful. I think a toxic work environment is created by your boss and co-workers mostly (the human part as you called it) and it can happen in any profession. Data science is definitely not an exception.

Thanks for the like and subscribe! I will be brutally honest with you. It will likely be pretty difficult to break into this field in today's job market. You could consider completing an online data science master's program that's geared towards non-data science professionals who can only study part-time to increase your chances. If you have solid python, R, and SQL skills, you could apply for internships too as a starting point. Consider data analyst roles too!
