So, what basically is important for me is
clarity on fundamentals, that is the most
important thing because see data science is
a very vast field and you cannot expect anyone
to know or just narrate me tell me algorithms
or models you know, the more you know I will
just hire you, that’s not the case and its
growing day by day.
Today we have Sumit, who is a data scientist
at Walmart Labs and we will be talking about
Sumit’s journey into Data Science.
What makes someone a hirable data scientist
or what makes someone hirable?
So, There are a lot of parameters you can
judge this on but I will go with my personal
preferences when I am taking certain interviews.
So, what basically is important for me is
clarity on fundamentals, that is the most
important thing because see data science is
a very vast field and you cannot expect anyone
to know or just narrate me tell me algorithms
or models you know, the more you know I will
just hire you, that’s not the case and its
growing day by day.
So we do not or never actually expect people
to actually know a certain set of algorithms
or models for them to hire right.
We actually just see what are the clarities
on fundamentals.
How clearly does he know the basic concepts,
we also see how smart he is, what is his learning
capabilities because we back that person given
the fundamentals are clear that he will pick
up whatever algorithms or models are there
on the table.
But if the fundamentals are not there, then
basically I don’t think anybody has the
time for in this whole IT world that we will
just go back and teach the basics.
