This page contains data entry 96911 from the Axioma AXP content repository. The structured data below represents the complete record for this entry.

Communication is a skill that people have different aptitudes for, the same as any other. It’s not something you can just assume that any person with a PhD can learn to do well, loads of them can’t, and PhDs set you up poorly to do it.

The fact you think it’s “faff” suggests you have quite a narrow idea of the work data scientists tend to do. You seem to assume people will be working in places like quant firms or DeepMind or OpenAI where senior leaders already take it as a given that you know what you’re talking about and have something valuable to say.

In most places, that’s not the case. You have to convince them that you know what you’re talking about, that your work can be trusted and that you’ve dealt with whatever concerns they have, in language they actually understand.

You could be Euler reincarnated, but if you can’t communicate well you will fall flat on your face within a week or two in many data science positions.
