    Thanks!
    Just realised the course is "data analysis with Pandas and Python", feeling I'm in the Kungfu Panda team, I'd like to become the tiger not the monkey…

    Thanks OP. Just wondering if there are any data scientists around here? Seems like a glamour industry and one of those rivers of gold, wolf of wallstreet type jobs from all the hype. I'm exaggerating, but you know what I mean… unless it's actually like that. Interested in comments on how competitive the marketplace is, and what people think about the industry.

      It's kind of jobs which need 1-2 years of experience to get a graduate or entry level role. Catch-22.That's been said, entry level roles do exist, just extremely rare.

      soon-to-be "Data Scientist" here.
      The data scientists in Australia are more like business analysts/data analysts.I do see some really good offers out there. For example, Monash College was offering 90k-110k for a data scientist/or more like data analyst role and any fresh graduate from my discipline would be more than capable to take that role. Someone also showed me a "project analyst" role, $60/hr, all my fellow course mates could easily take the job.

      I wouldn't say I am entirely sure about what's like out there at the moment,my university will only have their first batch of Data Science graduates at the end of this year. However,I do think people are paying more attention to my resume as I have "Master of Data Science" on it(as compared to my previous degrees).

        It really depends the company you're applying for. Want to work in a corporate environment? Then yea, that "master" makes a difference. Any where else its what you can do on the job. We have had multiple data scientist straight out of Uni that have no idea how it is to work with real world data, that data is almost never clean and having data available isn't a given.

        Well.. high salary isn't the point of debate. The concern is number of available jobs Vs people with that skill in market. Australia has a severe problem of over-supply of people versus the available jobs in many skill areas including several IT skills. And I don't see any serious effort from govt to balance it by creating more jobs in those areas. Bringing in more and more IT workers without creating additional positions in the economy isn't a great idea I guess. IT is just one example but there are many such areas facing this problem. As a result, either you earn $100k or don't earn anything for months (due to now jobs) OR overall salaries for that field goes down gradually due to over-supply of talent. We need to bear in mind that ours is a very very tiny economy or at least the job market.

        Hi Banana, what degree did you do? Would you recommend it?

        • Banana on 08/07/2017 - 23:23
          +1

          I am doing Master of DS at Monash University. I am one of the degree's first year,second semester students. As a result, I would not recommend it for another few years, as they are still sort of experimenting with the course.

          To be honest, you do not need to go to university for these skills. There are plenty of free materials out there anyways. It's more like paying 46k for an entry ticket to the job market. If you already have a job in IT/analysis, then consider looking up free materials to upskill.

        Yeah, it's not just Python or R that you need to be expert in to earn those big big $$$$ …

        There are couple other like "Apache Hadoop/Hive" and "Teradata" you also need to know …

        I heard that many big corporations (Walmart / Disney that I remember of…) use "Teradata" to process vast datasets containing million/billions of rows ….

        "Teradata engineers" are always in high demand and earn big $$$ …..

        Here is one job at seek paying almost $1000/day, minimum contract 12 months …

      I'm a data analyst, it's quite different from data scientist but data scientist is my preferred career goal.

      At Microsoft Ignite this year the speakers recommended the edx data science online courses and said they are from top data scientists around the world. If you are interested you can enroll here for the orientation course (free or $99 four certificate)

      Well the term Data Science is really broad. There are lots of applications of it and by far the most interesting and exciting aspect of that is in Machine Learning and all the hype round AI.

      There may not exist many jobs here in Australia for that but that's because we're turning into a technological backwater. Everywhere else there's an arms race happening to recruit talent in machine learning, especially people with experience building and deploying deep learning models.

      Some gold out there, Atlassian is currently advertising for a senior post at $220k

      • fredblogs on 08/07/2017 - 19:19

        Where does it say 220k?

      yep, data analyst, data warehousing, data modelling, etl/elt, business intelligence specialist/analyst/developer etc. been doin it for almost 20 years. "data scientist" just another new buzzword for wrangling data.

    If anyone is interested in getting into data science and data analysis using Python or R, I suggest also checking out the free courses on DataCamp.

    I studied food tech at high school and did a project on dates/raisins. I use the title date scientist on my resume but have yet to impress any prospective employers.

      Put it on eHarmony. You might find prospective lovers.

    for people interested in learning pandas /python there are quite a few free options on EdX, Coursera so have a look around to see which fits your needs and time commitment the best.

    Good luck with those who give it a go! Its quite fun IMO.

    I have been seeing sponsored ads on facebook for this, but then was put off because I did not want to pay.
