Answer 1

Data Science for sure is a stressful job, it requires to handle pressure situations, time constraints, and sometimes expectations are high about your performance if the projects are bigger or more complex.

If you are good at managing coding, math, and research, all together to define an output, then you will find this job to be fun and exciting. But if you are an expert only in coding or an expert in math or even good at research but not in the other two, you might have to take some more time to begin to like this job.
