Just curious about what others think here.
From someone I met yesterday, they concluded that it might not be dying but it has gotten extremely competitive at entry levels. It might be dying for the extreme noobs probably because these noobs can find better jobs (money/effort) in Product Management or Founder's Office yada yada.
Personally, it’s highly competitive now. I mean it was always easy to get in with a masters degree. Now it is hard to get in even with a PhD.
True, people get hired without masters degrees but only a small fraction of them are doing really great work. Your skills to progress matter more than a piece of paper here.
But Is data science still worth it in 2024?
I have always felt that Data Science is the best frontier for really smart people to excel than compared to PM where the loudest voice in the room wins.
Bro. If the question is about is data science degree worth it then ofcourse not. It has never been. Not sure who told you otherwise.
I guess the only route for freshers is via analytics firms like fractal, mu Sigma, tiger etc or startups.
But decent number of openings for experienced folk. And pretty good money as well. Even with that it's way less than the number of openings for SDEs. So is the competition relatively.
Hard sell.
It's not easy, starting is tough, learning is tough getting a job as a fresher is tough, but once you put in good hard work - payout is good as well. Given you like DS, and not doing for the payout
