What Does a Data Scientist Do?

Within data science, there are various roles, but data scientist is the most well-known. As a data scientist, you are responsible for making data usable. The insights you discover are shared with management and other stakeholders.
You optimize data flows and data analyses, and you make predictions. This makes the role of a data scientist distinctly different from that of a data analyst. A data analyst primarily focuses on processing historical data into information, whereas a data scientist takes it a step further.
Do you have strong IT knowledge, including solid programming skills? Then you’re ready to get started in data science!
