Data scientists are among the most coveted jobs at the moment in the U.S. and across the world. The reason for this is scarcity of professionals that can handle and manage the exploding data. Each day, the world is producing about 2.5 quintillion bytes of data.

Besides that, becoming a data analyst requires you to be good at multiple subject disciplines, and not just one. A few of these comprise mathematics, statistics, software programming, economics, and a great sense of data visualization.

The median annual salary of a data scientist in the US is $114,520, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which refers to the broader occupation as "computer and information scientists.”

Data science professionals are seen as unicorns of the corporate world. And that is why 'data scientist' has been named as the best job in the US for last four years in a row by leading job recruiting and employer review site Glassdoor starting 2016.

Glassdoor, currently has got 6,510 unfilled positions for the role of ‘data scientist’.

Some of the certifications offered by DASCA comprise of ABDE (Associate Big Data Engineer), SBDE (Senior Big Data Engineer), ABDA (Associate Big Data Analyst), SBDA (Senior Big Data Analyst), and SDS (Senior Data Scientist).

Conclusion

A data scientist’s duties demand of him or her to simply collect and process data instead of collating business insights, which is what makes the job role so sexy. Getting the right certification in this field will certainly boost your prospects.
