so I left astrophysics to become a data scientist straight out of college SO here are 5 massive realizations about the data science industry and exactly how much to expect from your entry level data scientist job salary!!
spoiler: I absolutely LOVE the field and feel SO grateful to be a data scientist and have such wonderful entry-level roles! I'm a data scientist without a computer science degree and have learned that you don't really need one to be successful as long as you have the curiosity and computational skills for success! and the salary is generally ~high~ so that doesn't hurt!
As always, if you have any questions for me, comment them down below and I will do my best to help you out! 💛

As someone who graduated from college this May with little experience in the field , I highly recommend to make a portfolio to fill in missing experience. I have a bachelors in accounting and a masters in data analytics and to be honest I struggled to get data scientist interviews. As soon as I started playing with a variety of machine learning algorithms in python using real datasets to make a portfolio , it helped in two ways : exponentially increased my rate of interviews and it significantly helped me in preparing for them ( A lot of my interviewers asked me how do you build a logistic regression ? random forest ? what do you do to reduce overfitting ? etc..) . Anyways just landed a 95k job as a junior data scientist for a small company across my state ,and the job is completely done remotely . Believe in yourself and don't stop learning 😀.

@@wendy-wej All my stem classes require statistics, and I’ve done some research that uses epidemiological data. Over time I realized I enjoyed the data aspect of STEM more than being in a physical lab all the time, and I wanted the career flexibility to work in the fashion industry, which otherwise is a tremendous gap from my current experience. Stats and data science can be applied to virtually any field, so I really appreciate being able to focus on my skills and apply them to any industry in the long run. It gives me the chance to pursue Fashion Data Analytics, and then go back to epidemiology research when I’m ready. All while maintaining the same skills needed for either. :) The focus on transferable skills that I can get from data science is why it’s currently more appealing for me than my neuroscience major.

You hit the nail on the head -- a lot of people can do data analysis and data science, but not many people understand how to connect everything back to the core business and how to interpret results from the perspective of what actions to take. Communicating the latter two points , once you have results from analysis , is where the real value is. Great vid !

Great information for anyone interested in the field. I love the fact that no two projects are the same, yet you tackle them with the same skillsets. I'm finishing up my Ph.D. in Data Science and it's been a crazy ride. I started with an interest in visualization (storytelling has always been my love), then a bit of machine learning (interesting but my heart wasn't into it), and now I build NLP tools and applications for use in sociolinguistics. Never in a million years would I have thought I'd end up studying language usage. Best of luck in your new position.

Very informative video! I agree with many of your points, and I'd like to add some of my own (I'm a Lead Data Scientist at an American unicorn): 1. We don't really care about your background as long as you can code (SQL and Python), understand the fundamentals of statistics and can apply standard ML models. Your education might limit your progress later on, but the basics are plenty enough for you to do well as an entry-level data scientist. 2. Communication is _really_ important. We expect all new hires to be good on the technical side, so what ends up being the most significant discriminator between high- and low-level is how well you can understand what's being requested and what's important and communicate your results in a way that helps the business. This is the number 1 thing I mention to my reports during 1:1s. 3. Many Data Science courses (BAs or Masters) don't teach SQL, or if they do, it's just basic stuff. Regardless of what your actual role as a data scientist will be, SQL will always be essential.

Thanks so much for sharing your insight with us. I'm a middle-aged professional who's learning more about A.I. I don't have an undergraduate or graduate degree in computer science, math, science or engineering, & Instead I did my undergrad and graduate work in a different area more focused in the arts and disability management. Currently, I work more in the career services field as a job coach in a vocational rehab capacity & have previous experience as a adjudicator/case manager for a healthcare provider. I'm ready to level up and transition into a new area focused on the healthcare field, but at my stage of life I'm unclear if I have enough time to develop the skills to become a data scientist, because after researching the different areas this is the most interesting to me, but I'm unclear if I've the aptitude to learn the math/statistics necessary to be successful in this field. I decided this weekend to register to take the CS50 class offered online with Harvard X, & hope for the best. My questions for you are should I try to start working more as a software engineer, since that's the easiest way to get into the tech field, even though it sounds boring, or do I've other options I'm not considering?

I'm so glad the video was helpful! YES of course: 1. the first thing I'd say is start applying to internships ASAP if you don't have one lined up for the upcoming summer, and if you do already, that's great! Internships are really important because I learned most of what I know on the job, and you usually get return offers from internships so grinding it out over 2-3 weeks in September-December to get an internship for the upcoming summer is really worth it. 2. so the main skills that you'll be tested on in data science interviews are A) SQL and complex SQL manipulations B) exploratory data analysis from data sets and maybe C) machine learning principles. So trying to create 1-2 projects for each and adding it to your github will help a lot. For example, you can download a dataset regarding housing prices off of Kaggle and create a jupyter notebook of exploratory data analysis and test out different ensemble machine learning models (like gradient boosting or random forest) to see which gives you the most accuracy and commenting in why that's the case. (of course, it can start with much simpler SQL questions that you find on leetcode and then you can start finding larger projects on Kaggle) 3. read towardsdatascience articles to understand intuitively the underlying concepts behind ML algorithms - this might not be as important for you though since you're in school and can take the right classes to learn the right things which is a big advantage! 4. i'll upload a video about my resume but the way you structure your resume is important, you should have a "Projects" section where you have your top 2-3 projects from class or personal projects that highlight the 3 skills they look for (SQL, python data analysis, python ML)!

Hey Brendyn Ford, I am currently a double major in computer science (BS) and data science (BS). If I had to choose one of those field it would have to be computer science. Coding is something you REALLY have to enjoy when working in this type of field. Also a computer science degree opens to so many other doors such as being a software developer, database administrator, and is extremely fundamental to being a machine learning engineer as you need to know how to make a model from scratch without using any built in functions.

Wow, this video comes at such a good time. I have an Accounting degree but I realised I might not be that interested in an accounting career after doing it for a few years. I was thinking of learning more IT-related stuff and the role of a data scientist really sparks an interest in me. However, I am not keen in getting another structured & expensive degree or Masters course and was thinking of going the self-study route like Coursera, udemy etc. Do you have any thoughts on these? Since I do not have any or much Math or statistics related subjects during uni, I’m not sure how to tackle these issue. Where and how do you embark on a self project to develop such skills? Would really love it if you can help because I’m somewhat in a dilemma stage at the moment.

If you do data science, you can use all of those skills. I suggest taking a few skills based classes early on and then use your new skills to get an internship (regardless of which major you choose). Working at a job is the best way to know whether you'll like it. I worked with a student who completed an internship his Senior year when he only had one class remaining to graduate. He hated it. When he returned, he changed his major entirely, so he won't graduate for another two years. If he had done that internship earlier, he would have saved himself a lot of time and money. An internship can help you decide whether or not your in the right field or fine-tune the sub-area within your major to focus your efforts on.

So as someone who eventually one day wants to work in data science industry, is there an entry level job role that one can apply as a starting point and just get promoted/ level up to a data science in time rather than just trying to apply for a data science position from the get go? I dont mind starting at the bottom and working my way up the ladder.

Well heck yeah I find this useful. It's very obvious you understand the field/occupation of data scientist/data analyst. I'm thinking though--sidenote--that having a relative degree such as math or physics (could be others) is a "in" to getting started in Data Science/Analyst.

Hi! I'd definitely say you'd want to prep for the interviews well if you're new to the field (SQL, python, etc.) and starting as a data analyst would be a great first step! Data analyst roles vary by company, but generally skillsets would include SQL, sometimes BI visualization tools like Tableau or similar ones, basic foundational python for analysis, etc. :)
