[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most large private sector companies employ "data scientists" ranging from chief data scientists/chief economists (PhD from high caliber university) who go on the news to talk about trends to recent college grads who can manage statistical packages and crunch numbers.

I'm surprised that you don't see your expertise in survey methodology as something related to being a data scientist--but many firms run experiments related to product uptake (ex: which marketing campaign is more successful,) but these aren't big national surveys like I think you may be speaking of.[/quote]

OP here. Most my experience in survey design is with developing countries.But this is a very old field and the way we did things in the 60s is sadly the same way today.

I have looked into data science and the skill sets required is massive. Many of the openings I have seen not only require knowing algorithms but they also require business acumen. I just don't know how I can spin my experience.
