Listen Later

On this week's episode of Would You Data Scientist, Wendy is joined by guest Stuart Davie, Director of Data Science at Peak. Listen in to find out Stuart's advice for getting into data science, his opinions on what the data science landscape will look like in the near future.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Data science is so big and moving so fast, you have to keep learning. New tools and technologies are being invented all the time and if you stand still then you will be left behind.
  • Stuart sees more specialisation in the future of data science. With the field being so broad there has to at some point be a more standardised route into a specific subject.
  • Peak would like their applicants to have relevant experience, but not many do in the field so they accept applications from graduates and offer internships.
  • At Peak, Stuart is aiming for 50% male female gender split in their recruitment.
  • Peaks graduate program usually opens around April for a September intake.
