[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Best friend is a data scientist with a masters. She's had LOTS of job offers in the 200k range. Nearly every company needs stats. [/quote] +1 data science is way hotter than stats right now[/quote] What is the difference?[/quote] Practically, very little. It's more about how you market yourself. Data science is all about being applied vs. theory, finding insights, presenting insights. Day-to-day you do more programming, finding the right datasets, and more presentations. It's a lot less academic, where you are expected to make recommendations regardless of how bad the data is - your job is to make do within the data and time constraints you're given.[/quote]
