"A decade later, the job is more in demand than ever with employers and recruiters."
After the last article I was wondering if the supply for data scientists had now risen to meet or surpass the demand and it seems like this is not the case. I expected that the amount of new people going into computer science careers would have increased the number of data scientists. Maybe the role of data scientist is still something that is not very known about so most people just try to become software engineers instead.
"Now, however, there has been a proliferation of related jobs to handle many of those tasks, including machine learning engineer, data engineer, AI specialist, analytics and AI translators, and data oriented product managers."
This quote stood out to me since it was interesting how much the role has split up in the last ten years. It makes sense that as the role of data scientist has expanded and become more important it has split up into many different roles to increase productivity but I didn't realize how many. This could also be a reason for the demand since there are many more job titles and positions that are required at large companies.
