Data Science Bubble is about to Burst...
I spoke to an experienced guy in the IT sector who has worked in many FinTech firms and consulting companies. He said when the data science hype started several years back, companies started getting funds from venture capitalists to set up data science wings . Companies went on a hiring spree with this money to hire data science professionals.
However, as the years passed, these data science departments failed to generate revenue as expected. Also, some aspects of data science will very likely be automated. So companies will probably hire less data science professionals and may even fire the resources hired earlier.

I have seen few data scientists behave like they own the company, attitude till saturn. In reality, all they do is use pre built models & broken sql who don't know how backend or frontend or database systems work.

And Torture Data engineers in the due course !

I have been hearing the same argument since 2018... .
Guess what year is it now?

With genai coming in its impossible to burst
Data analyst has always been a redundant role
Genai has increased data science hiring by 25% this year till now
Just go to LinkedIn jobs and check lol rather than shitposting

Also the source is one year old
U can see the core ds/ai jobs after 1 year nowand just compare
Data visualisation/analytics haa always been autmotable but stats,core ml , building custom models /logic from scratch, deploying into production
Can never be automated,if it gets then the whole backend will be automated and there will be no software engineering jobs lol

Been in this field for over 3 years now, as someone pointed out this has been going on since 2018-2019. Thing is companies always need good data scientists and ML engineers and even analysts.
Number of those requirements might reduce but they do need people. And number reduction will happen mainly due to covid boom when people joined this field left right and centre w/o much knowledge by doing some course online.
So yeah it's going to be difficult for those who just work superficially by not knowing things deep but good ones are always in demand like any other field.

That's true. Half / superficial knowledge won't cut anymore in the coming years and you really ought to know your craft well to be employable.

Totally man. I have experienced it myself. Even after doing everything well in interviews it's not confirmed we will land a job, their would be someone better. Competition is cut throat only the best would be able to survive in the future.

I've been hearing this for the past 6 years.
DS salaries for a given role have 2.5X'd since then.

Data Science/ AI / ML/ GenAI / IOT / Crypto/BlockChain :- All of these come, get overhyped, and then get normalized. Everytime one of them get gets talked, people go crazy, and after a few months or a few yrs, it has still not made as huge an impact as it gets hyped to be. Also, every time, it gets asked as to how much job loss it would cause. We should take these as just another computer language or framework being introduced.

Does ML and AI fit in this category?

What is a bubble? We do need data science. Kisi ko aata nahi sahi se karna, woh alag baat hai.

Every field’s bubble is going to burst. Suicide seems to be the ultimate solution.

Is data science still worth it in 2024?
Just curious about what others think here.
From someone I met yesterday, they concluded that it might not be dying but it has gotten extremely competitive at entry levels. It might be dying for the extreme noobs probably because these n...

Data science is becoming a total joke
I’m seriously starting to think data science is just becoming a fad. Everyone and their mother is calling themselves a data scientist now, but most have zero real skills. I see so many people with fancy certifications but they can't even...
