Just a reminder that "data science" literally doesn't mean anything. All science involves empirical data. If you think of yourself as a data scientist, what more accurate title could you use for yourself and your field instead?
Come on. You're business-oriented statisticians and machine learning engineers. Or as the original article from Harvard Business Review article puts it, the article which popularized the phrase data scientist, "Data scientists today are akin to the Wall Street 'quants' of the 1980s and 1990s."
@ttpphd Those are fair points. I'm not sure where the "science" portion is that isn't really just product knowledge.
There are some statistics and applied math (eg rounding errors) skills needed to be good, but that applies everywhere. How to present the data and how to amalgamate data are possibly unique, but not very extensive.
