How vicious is the competition for data science positions?

Question

Are there lots of candidates competing for  data scientist jobs?

Answer 1

Yes, the competition is fierce and vicious for Data Science positions. Many professionals are pasting these terms (Data Science, Machine Learning, etc.) without having the required expertise. The fact is that there is a very large shortage of qualified Data Science positions across the globe, with very high demand in the USA and India. So, everybody wants to get hired as Data Scientist. But very few people have the required experience and skillsets, to get hired as a Data Scientist. So, I recommend you check out the Data Science training course from Intellipaat. Also, check out the following YouTube video on the Data Science tutorial from experts.
