If you are not sure about which data science path you should take, here are 3 questions that can help you figure it out:
- Do you enjoy the statistical frameworks?
Do you enjoy the deep understanding of regression, the statistical theories, model’s assumptions, statistical testing, and time series?
Do you like high transparency of the parameters, building models without a black box that can interprets parameters?
If the answer is yes, you might enjoy the roles that requires the skillsets below:
Time series, forecasting (sales/ads/inventory), strategic planning(large companies generally need those roles, and it doesn’t matter which industry the company is).
2. Do you enjoy deep learning, coding, tackling engineering problems, creating tools in production, and handling large dataset ?
If you enjoy using data to build tools, you might enjoy being a deep learning scientist, or machine learning engineer, solving problems like computer vision, natural language processing. It usually requires master or phd, someone with relevant experience.
3. Do you enjoy influencing business decisions, seeing the growth of a product, understanding user behaviors through data, designing metrics and experiments?
You might look into data scientist roles focusing on product analytics and learn how to think like a product manager. Most social media companies (Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, etc), or any companies have consumers will need your expertise.
Of course, you can be all of them, and this post is to help you understand your strength and passion better, and hope you’ll find a fulfilling career.
Now, what kind of data science role are you most interested in? Leave a comment!

8 个月This is useful for us how we started and why we chose this field. we know our why? first after how ? and then what ? this is a concept of golden circle we get our why clear first after take any decision?it is my point of view. 'provides compelling evidence of how much more we can achieve if we start everything we do by first asking a simple question: “Why?”?It finds order and predictability in human behavior'
