[quote=Anonymous]As a seasoned data scientist with approximately 8 years of experience, I currently hold a managerial position overseeing a team of data scientists. Amid our ongoing recruitment efforts for an entry-level analyst, we have observed a trend wherein individuals with computer science backgrounds are attempting to transition into this role. Regrettably, such candidates typically do not meet our criteria for interview consideration.

Primarily, we prioritize candidates with academic backgrounds in disciplines such as mathematics, statistics, economics, industrial engineering, or even political science, provided they demonstrate a robust proficiency in programming. Therefore, I would advise prospective candidates to pursue educational paths such as Economics with a minor in Computer Science, Statistics with a minor in Computer Science, or even Physics with a minor in Economics, as these combinations align more closely with our hiring preferences.

Me: Math major + Econ minor.. MS in Data Science + MBA[/quote]
