This post made me smile this morning! Most business leaders understand sales and marketing, since they usually have that background. With everything becoming “data-driven” a resource grab for data talent is ongoing. However, most business leaders have no idea how nuanced the data field actually is and “data scientist” is the sexiest title most people think of. (Well maybe not this week, AI engineer is taking the stage….which is still data dependent, btw). Hence, the painfully truthful post below. If you have data that is not where it needs to be or the shape it needs to be in, you need to start with data engineers. When the data starts to flow and has meaning, then a data scientist can work their magic. Foundation first, data application second, insights later. #digitaltransformation #datastrategy #dataengineering #digitalbusiness

If you hire a data scientist before you've hired a data engineer, congratulations, you've just hired an entry-level data engineer!* *Unless they've had the same thing happen to them multiple times, in which case, congratulations, you've hired a seasoned data engineer. #datascience #dataengineering
