Demand for data professionals is high and the data analysis, data science and data engineering sectors are continuing to grow. I interviewed Dr. Anahita Talwar to discover her route in data science and why she chose this career.
What are the key skills needed in data science?
Maths and Statistics are key subjects to have a firm grasp on by the time you've finished your undergraduate degree. Additionally programming is an important skill that I learnt whilst completing my PhD and employers are particularly looking for proficiency in Python. You will also need analytical and problem solving skills as well as strong communication as you will be liaising with internal and external stakeholders.
