In this riveting analysis by Ken Jee, we delve into the tumultuous waters of the data science job market. Buckle up, folks, as we witness a rollercoaster ride of job postings from Big Tech giants taking a nosedive, while other companies step up to the plate. Luke Bruce's data reveals a market slump until May, now showing faint glimmers of recovery. Data engineering roles shine brighter than data scientist or analyst positions, with non-senior roles dominating the hiring scene. It's a dog-eat-dog world out there, with entry-level data job seekers facing fierce competition amidst a surge in interest.
Global job postings paint a picture of resilience post-May, hinting at a market on the rebound. Contract positions hit a rough patch in July, possibly due to the ebb and flow of six-month contracts. Big Tech heavyweights like Apple and Amazon have scaled back on postings, making way for consulting and financial giants to steal the spotlight. This rollercoaster of job postings signifies a cyclical downturn rather than a structural shift, with a growing hunger for data professionals in industry, finance, and consulting sectors. Ken Jee's optimism shines through, offering a beacon of hope in these turbulent times, promising further insights and job landing tips in upcoming videos.
