As a DA embedded in a DS team, how do DS folks deal with the insane amount of uncertainty in every project? I feel like none of the DS folks understand the business and act like a tool to be pointed towards a dataset that cranks out methods

DS folks have a very different and specialized tool chest. In general they have to learn how to ask questions. In consulting, since their skillset is expensive and they aren't generally brought in early in understanding the client's problems, they unfortunatelt learn to hyperfocus on their tool chest and not the intent. In general, this is why non-veteran DS consultants are all meh: they haven't had enough runway to learn from their mistakes.

I’m a DS consultant, and our engagements tend to be mixed teams with generalists who scope out the business strategy, needs, and applications (and honestly do a lot of the slide-making and client-side employee info chasing ❤️). I think that is a great model, but there are also people on the DS side who have keen business sense in their own right.

There’s nothing stopping you from doing that extra bit of due diligence in finding out where this metric really comes from, or how that output is going to be used, or what is the overall plan for the project etc

Totally fair, and I didn’t really mean “you” as in you personally so much as DS practitioners in general. A lot of DSs could benefit from taking a greater interest in the business context

Hi all 8.7 YOE now, Joined wipro 4 months back with 26.5+1lac JB. Skills business analytics. My current project does not follow agile processes at all, very relaxed client. However what im worried is after 2 years would interviewers expect me to have handled a project all alone and acted as a product owner. Thats what i sense once i have 10 YOE, if i switch it would be 6th company, (2 years break due to MBA ofcourse)
