On this episode of Would You Data Scientist, Wendy is joined by guest Alexander Radev, expert in data science. Hear their conversation about how to 'get into' data science and how companies should start developing their own talent rather than letting them leave for more experienced jobs. 


KEY TAKEAWAYS


Alexander believes having a statistical background isn't enough you need to do some software engineering to fully understand data science. 

In the next 10 years Alexander believes that companies should gradually build their teams and train and promote people who want to be leaders. In the current market, people tend to leave and switch companies to move up.
