I’d say your impression is mighty faulty.

I love it when I get new projects and you can learn something new about a new field And make some unique insights. When it's the same thing over and over, it gets pretty boring. And of course, most people want you to do the same thing over and over because they don't want you learning on their dime. I still like it though. Best job I ever had.

i was studying data science for a while a few years ago. it is painful to do for long periods of time, from what i could tell. it's the sort of job you like in your sixth month but just cannot stand your third year. thats my impression and it's little more than that.

One of the posters on IC took a boot camp and switched careers to data science. I wonder how he's liking it.

I really liked when I was building data reports at work a few years back, but data science is much more intense.

Truth is I'm too old and set in my ways to risk a career change.

I work in tech, work closely with data science folks, and have deep experience. So I’m pretty comfortable with my relative understanding, and I don’t think super’s characterization is accurate.

Oh…..wait……oh, shit…..hold on…give me a second….wait…..WTF…….you questioned “super?”

You’re not too old. Depends on your time and what you want.

You're in data science?

My job has become routine and boring.

But I do get to hire some in Jan as one of my guys is moving on. Unfortunately another of my guys is on medical leave for a month.

Yes. Made a switch a few years back. Starting to work more on AI which is an easish transition. The stuff fascinates me and my mediocre coding skills aren't too big of an impediment with the LLM coding assistants.
 
We hire data scientists. A wide array of AI adjacent priorities from multimodal data integration to training LLMs on underlying raw and annotated (meta)datasets to CNNs that can be applied to fourier transform images, 3D images, and video.

As far as programming its the usual skills - C/C++ and python along with R and SQL and the cloud vendor-specific microservices. Finding individuals who are good at thinking about data engineering at petabyte scale, and ontologies, and have some domain understanding of the data is difficult. The nature of some of the work includes optimizing the math (frequently linear algebra) so some understand of compilers is also helpful. We've mostly landed on hiring young and training up.
