Can anyone with industry hiring knowledge comment on this gap?
Maybe I’ve misunderstood but from HN / other online discussions it seems that employers in Data Science have been increasing education requirements to MSc, PhD, and so forth for many jobs that more appropriately require a strong statistical understanding combined with rigorous data processing skills and some imagination. Is this a real “skill gap” or an attempt to create artificial scarcity of hot jobs?
