Question

Are there data science roles that are more attainable for individuals transitioning from non-IT backgrounds?

Answer 1

Data analyst roles are often more accessible for individuals transitioning from non-IT backgrounds. These roles emphasize data interpretation, visualization, and insights, requiring less emphasis on complex programming and machine learning. With strong analytical skills and domain knowledge, individuals can enter data analysis positions and later expand their technical skills to pursue broader data science roles.
