got some insight today into the relative salaries of data scientists and economists what the hell is wrong with labor markets?
Yeah, that was one of my guesses too. (But do economists actually seem higher-type than data scientists?)
-
-
Yes, to me. I associate "economist" with high-status, high-knowledge, specialty focus.
-
I associate "data scientist" with someone who is good at Excel and SQL and crunches many spreadsheets, whether true or not.
-
Probably because I think anyone can call themselves a "data scientist" but if you call yourself an "economist", show your PhD or gtfo.
-
(This reflects my instinctive reaction, not necessarily my considered stance, obviously)
-
Huuuh. Probably about right actually, maybe a hell of a lot of range in DS skill sets + lots at the bottom
-
The external DS job posting at [firm] got taken down because of a tsunami of garbage candidates actually
-
This is partially why employers often post reqs where qualifications are grossly over-stated. Too easy and too many unqualified apps.
