A lack of experience doesn't mean you can’t land a job in data science even though the data science job market is highly competitive.

Even for entry-level positions, employers are looking for highly experienced candidates.

Undoubtedly, the demand for data scientists has been extremely high for the next five or ten years due to the following factors.

  • Large quantities of data generated through smart devices
  • Computational resources especially cloud computing provided at low prices
  • Development of complex algorithms such as GANs
  • Open-source data science frameworks

Another very special feature of the data science job market is that it has a diversity of industries meaning that data scientists are working in a wide range of industries such as healthcare, transportation, manufacturing, academic, business, environmental, security, and so on.

On the other hand, data science is a broad field that can be subcategorized into machine learning (ML), data analysis, data visualization, computer vision, deep learning (DL), neural networks, predictive analysis, and so on.
