You're doing a very nice job with these interviews. Hearing experienced data scientists talk about how they got into the field, what kind of projects they work on, the challenges they deal with, etc is useful and inspiring. Keep up the great work. 😊

This guy knows what he’s talking about

2:14, the reason why FB has more uni grads coming as DS is that their DS role is more of product analytics role, and that is the really the trend in the valley -- for the traditional, research-oriented role that we come to know as DS, most of them are labeled as a research scientist.

I just started my Data Science degree and my goal is to work for nasa as a Data Scientist. I have always dreamed to work there.

[aurielbrooks]

Hey @Springboard I have a question. I want to be a data scientist, should I get a degree in math and data science, or a computer science degree? I've been reading different forums and wanted some input. Thank you for your time.

[vipulsinghal]

He has a PhD in Rocket Science!
Do the F.A.N.G not hire any folks less than PhD???

[sourabh]
