Content Data

This page contains data entry 93634 from the Axioma AXP content repository. The structured data below represents the complete record for this entry.

My sense — at least from the discussion here — is that data scientists don’t know or don’t care about math, which is kind of necessary if you want to do scientific research in statistics or machine learning.

I saw a post about this fresh grad with tons of grad level math courses under his belt from a top school who was not getting interviewed; everyone was just harping on him not having work experience / internships. This was strange because some of the most scientifically oriented firms (quant funds or real labs) care about the rigor of your education and your raw problem solving ability. Quant funds don’t even care if you have ever done finance before, just whether you can solve hard problems. I thought that attitude would permeate DS too but it doesn’t.

Like standard data analyst internships at places like Deloitte (where you just do grunt work) are far less valuable in my mind than a course on (say) measure theory, which will really test how you think. Again this is just my opinion having experienced both.
