Currently I am working as a data scientist in KPMG and I am in this field for past 4 years and let me tell you that most data scientists begin their careers as data analysts or data engineers. Data analysts work with the raw data that is received by the systems. This also means they work with other departments to process data, such as marketing, sales, customer service, and finance. Jobs in Data science are preety amazing. If you want to go in this field and have any doubts just ping me up i would love to answer your queries.
