Would A Career In Data Science Involve A Lot Of Coding?

[Pratik Puri]

I want to become a Data Scientist but I am a little bit confused about whether I chose the right technology or not. Because I don’t know how much coding will I have to do in my Data Science job.

I am an intermediate-level programmer and don’t have good knowledge of advanced programming. I want to know that how hard is advanced programming in Data Science because I am always afraid of facing advanced coding.

So can any community member answer my question – Would a career in Data Science involve a lot of coding?

If yes, how can I prepare myself for the same?

Data Science is one of the most popular tech skills at present. Students who graduate in technical courses are trying hard to get into this field.

Yes, Data Science as a field requires solid coding and data skills. But, you don’t need to worry as you can practice and gain these skills over a period of time. You can start with a programming language like Python and then get into Data Science with the help of an online or offline course.
