The demand for data science professionals is at an all-time high. Around 22,000 freshers were added to analytics workforce in India this year, an increase of 37% from 2018 according to the data science industry study conducted by Analytics India Magazine and Praxis. While there is much excitement in the market, there is an equal amount of confusion as well regarding how one should really transition to the field.
