This job market is insane. This entire bowl is just people asking for referrals and trying to switch to D&A.

1-2 years ago this bowl was actually somewhat informative. Makes me sad/nervous/worried for this industry. I know it’s just a bad job market but can’t help but worry.

I’ve noticed too many junior people wanting to work with data, a few off our newer hires shouldn’t have gone for it, staring at numbers and queries all day isn’t for everyone

If you actually have something to offer you have quite a bit less to fear but the market is cooler than usual.
You said it yourself - most people here are trying to switch in. Just trying to hop onto the gravy train they know nothing about.

Yeah just like with anything that gets popular you get the air heads swarming in. I get notifications in bowls for people asking us to help them chose between wallpapers or asking for cake recipes. And no one questions it. Like wtf…

Skate to where the puck will be, not to where the puck is. Data Analytics, Data Science, and Data Engineering (particularly the DevOps side) eventually lead to the holy grail of Data Strategy... learn the utility of all three, and then those consultants can think you just do data modeling.

@C1: not necessarily. What I'm saying is that building a product in engineering isn't sufficient. Building a dashboard that puts up numbers but doesn't help you grow is replaceable. Implementing a model that does something really cool but only affects 1% of the client's customer base is laughably common. Companies spend a lot of money investing in engineering, analytical, and data science skills and regularly forget to tie all that shit together and actually make any of it accountable.

One does not simply say, 'I'm going to do data strategy today'. Generally speaking, you need to have pretty significant experience across all three of those disciplines to make an informed decision on that front. Data strategy is what emerges when you pull those skills forward and review the implications of corporate investments from a longer term payoff: i.e., does your company have a cohesive and prioritized plan that uses data to inform their strategic decisions.

I've done a nickel at least across each of those disciplines (spending even more time in engineering). So yeah, I'm pretty committed to smashing siloes and focusing on improving the quality of decisions on top.
