Can You Become a Data Scientist?

Data science is a super-hot topic and the data scientist is one of the most illustrious jobs of the 21st century. But how does one actually become a data scientist? Our step by step guide will walk you through how to start a career in data science!

You can ask around, read Quora answers, or talk to someone in the industry, sure, these methods will supply you with information, but there’s no doubt that this information will be biased towards someone else’s personal experience. How others became data scientists is of little importance to you, I bet. What you’re interested in is whether YOU can become one. Are your skills appropriate for this field? What steps do you need to take to become a successful data scientist? Will your background affect the chances of becoming a data scientist? All valid questions.

If you want to become a data scientist, you should answer questions like one.

A data scientist wouldn’t take the experience and background of just one or two other data scientists and accept them as a quintessential guide. So, how much data would be statistically adequate to give us an idea of what it takes to become a data scientist? 100 profiles? 500? How about 1,001? Well, that’s exactly what we did.

I see what you did there analyzing the data science industry using data science

How to get into data science?
it's all about learning and traing you self on doing maching learning algorithms, the best way to build your portfolio is to get in touch with data tools, wherein
statistics, mathematics is the basics, then practicing programming, since it's your job to translate models in a parogramming language so as the machine to introduce you inputs, and they afford the output, this last is the result of your algorithm, the usefullness of this depend on what's your project, so if you want to predict if a new client is solvent, you take his features, and apply them to a maching learning model build previously, then the algorithm gives the result as a probability, so you decide from it the client profil.

Thank you so much for such a valuable info!
Quality content and graphics.

"...assuming you graduate your masters before turning 25." Cries in 24 without a Bachlor.

Thanks for the information you provided, very clear and understandable.

[Arkhs]

Was just watching this and unironically thinking "wow, they're really breaking down the data they used."

It's a nice change.

[jo-argalinato]

Nice video. You didn't mention though other pathways like taking on roles as data analyst or database analysts first as a good stepping stone to becoming a datascientist.

There's one giant clarifier that's missing. "Data Scientist" as a job title is used for everything from the Machine Learning specialist you think of to a rebranded data analyst pulling SQL into Excel.

Hi 365 Data Science,
Could you please take a video for explaining what template matching is ?
Thanks in advance.

[Annymusqwe]

Thank you for such great info! Use DATA to speak for DATA SCIENTIST!

[ritik]

In India school curriculum is about to include data science and hence you can join as a teacher. Hence lot's of scope.

[nytman]

great video, really helpful for the youth pursuing in the IT industry

[hisibaram]

Can you kindly suggest me which tool do you use for creating such nice presentations

My ex girlfriend had this job at a big company in Korea... she made good money but later quit and moved to North America... she said she’d never go back to that and now is almost a licensed nurse here... there’s a silver lining to everything. Ironically I was interested in this career before I met her and tbh I still am, but data analytics is so broad... Data Scientist is just 1 job title in this field!

I don't like how this guy said I'm still just a human... 🤔

I recently started The Data Science Course 2019: Complete Data Science Bootcamp on Udemy, and it seems like the Data Scientist Track you offer via your website is a highly beefed up version of the Udemy course with the course going into more detail on the various components and skill sets to help a true novice get to a proficient level to land a data science job. Is this so? I am currently taking the IBM Data Science Professional Certificate course and the Data Scientist in Python Path on Dataquest. I also plan to use DataCamp, and after seeing your program, I may have to add it to my current curriculum as it is my goal at the very minimum to land a job as an entry level data scientist by the summer of 2020. My reasoning for taking multiple courses is that it helps reinforce what I am learning from various teaching styles.

[PropheticStreamsNetwork]

Thank you for this video expanation, i want to ask if this still holds for 2020 and 2021.

[lukefox]

5:27 -- stressed out PhD; next video -- learn data science in 3 months.

Just Graduated with an eMPA (Hon) Statistics, Multilevel Calculus, Analytics, and Quantitative Analysis encluded in the curriculum)
Now I am embarking on 18 to 20 Online Courses incrementally. Note: I returned to school after 50 a growing trend with BabyBoomers)

I'm getting back to work at McDonalds, thanks..
