Comment Comment by DoofusOfDeath It would be nice if the story touched on compensation levels.If all of those companies offered $400k/year, with guaranteed employment for 7 years, they would suddenly find no shortage of data scientists.Although other industries might suddenly wonder what happened to all their statisticians / physicists / etc.And two years later there would be a glut of data scientists who had just completed their master's degree. parent DoofusOfDeath 8 years ago
