How to Become a Data Scientist?

 Data Science

There is no doubt in the fact that data science is the hottest job of the era of the 21st century. The industries are completely flooded with massive data and they are constantly looking for expert and skilled data scientists who can help them deal with this data and interpreted information that can be applied for some useful purpose in the businesses.

According to the various surveys done, the demand for the data scientists is ever increasing. By the year 2020, the demand is going to increase by 28%. Almost all the big organizations including Amazon, Google, Facebook, IBM, and Twitter, etc. use the data science technology and keep looking for the candidates who can independently handle the work with minimum support and guidance.

To become a data scientist, you need to have enough knowledge along with some required degrees. Let’s have a look at all the steps required to become a data scientist.

1. Get an undergraduate or graduate degree in data science or closely related areas

The first thing is to take up an undergraduate or graduate degree in some specialization which is closely linked to data science. You can do your graduation from Information technology, mathematics or maybe computers. This degree will provide you a first base structure along with recognized academic qualifications for getting into your data science resume.

2. Take up the training in the data science courses

You can do the data science course through online as well as offline. There are numerous good institutes that offer the course on data science providing you complete knowledge of the course and all related topics. One such Data Science Course is offered by OdinSchool which provides industry-aligned training and mentorship from industry experts. You can also go for some self-guided short courses but for them, you need to set your own learning path. With the help of these training courses, you will be able to develop projects and also get a certificate from the institutes which will have a global recognition and thus an addition to your resume.

3. Get a masters degree with business analytics

A good option, although obvious is to go for masters after your graduation. One can enroll in the analytics-based programs to get a better understanding of the field and in more depth. There are many good institutes offering the PGP in the business analytics. You can also go for a general degree of MBA but in that case, taking data analysis or machine learning as an elective course would be a smart choice.

4. Gain technical skills in analytics

With data science come the stronger tools like ‘R’ and Python, which are now widely used for data analysis. Python is more of coding form and thus if you are aware of coding languages like C or Java, learning Python will be quite easy. But for statistical modeling, ‘R’ is one of the best tools. These are open source tools and you can use them for free and learn to get a good exposure. You can take up some dummy datasets available online and work with them using R or Python programming language for getting good hands on understanding.

5. Participate in various data science competitions online

Another great way to get good knowledge of data science is by participating in competitions that are hosted on sites like Kaggle etc. Kaggle is the platform for the world’s largest community of data scientists and machine learning engineers. On Kaggle you can find and publish high quality data sets, explore and build models with that data in a web based data science environment. Join Kaggle to compete, collaborate, learn, and share your work. You can go through some competitions that might have held in the past and work on them to get through the modus-operandi. With these competitions, you will get the ability to handle the complex datasets.

At last to become a data scientist what is the best needed is practice, practice, and practice. Work more and more on huge datasets and become an expert in the field.
