Ask HN: Is the industry saturated with data scientists already?
I&#x27;m still pretty early in my career, which I started as a software developer. I transitioned into a data scientist role about a year ago, then moved to the USA for a Master&#x27;s degree in AI&#x2F;DS.<p>Here I&#x27;m seeing a trend of software developers being paid better than data scientists in general, and I was wondering if I&#x27;ve made a mistake transitioning away from software development. The number of opportunities also seem to be dwindling (or maybe I&#x27;m not looking well enough, please feel free to correct me).<p>My question is this: Did all the talk of data science being the &quot;sexiest&quot; job cause the market to become saturated, or is it still a viable career path?
