Scotland Data Science & Technology MeetUp: Data Scientist - Corporate vs Start-up

Data Scientist - Corporate vs Start-up

For many data scientists, the thrill and excitement of joining a start-up is what they have worked towards for much of their life to date. However, for others, the challenges of plying their trade in the context of a corporate strategy is regarded as even more fulfilling in that opportunities exist:

§ to deepen domain expertise

§ solve complex business problems

§ Create broad value to household name organisations

In some cases, such opportunities may not be mutually exclusive so join us on the 25th June at 12pm GMT for a discussion on the differences between deployment of data scientists in differing business models and what it means at a personal level for:

§ Career development and job satisfaction

§ Development of deeper data skill and domain expertise

§ Cultural differences and challenges that ensue

§ How to make the best of your career choices
