I mentor individuals looking to transition into data science. I can say without a doubt that those who do the best (get the best jobs) are those with domain expertise and who are able to leverage that expertise in a data science realm.
Of course, domain expertise is hard to come by and takes years to develop. I look forward to data science leaving far behind the notion that "you too can become a data scientist with 3 weeks of Python + scikit-learn".
