Data Science Updates

It depends upon the type of company and product we are talking about. In today tech-enabled markets, companies differentiate themselves by providing high-tech solutions which sometimes is backed by Machine Learning and in such companies Data Scientist is more valuable. But keep in mind it’s the product which data scientist is building using programing, statistics and mathematics. And numbers of such companies are few and often rely on top quality coders + mathematics + statisticians. 

Alternate view is that almost all companies want to move from gut based decisions to data driven decisions thus deploy analysis into decisions. Now a day they want to deploy predictive decisions and thus there is huge demand for data scientist in such companies. Since they are into non-tech product thus they value Salesman aka product as important concern than an operational decisions backed by data science. Thus in such companies it will take more time to value data scientist more than salesman.

I hope you got the intricacies of when its important and when its auxiliary

yes, really it will be, instead of being a user in Quora, if you go with Intern or data scientist in Quora you will get a wonderful experience of handling a data's. You need to be using your product enough to put your analyses into context and ask the right questions. That means covering all the basic Quora use cases and going deep into whichever features you’re actively working on. I’ve clicked on just about everything you can click on each Quora platform.

If you are only looking for Data science or data analytics I would prefer you to immediately look for online free courses. If you have basic programming knowledge you can just go to Kaggle.com and go through their learning module and start working on their regular events. You can get DS free courses from Stanford, MIT etc online.
