Skills that raise your pay

  • Machine learning in production

    Building models that run inside real products, not just in notebooks. This is the bridge to machine learning engineer pay.

  • Cloud data platforms

    AWS (Amazon Web Services), Azure or Google Cloud certificates. Banks want them.

  • SQL (the language for querying databases) at an expert level

    Unglamorous, and the skill most junior data scientists are weakest at.

  • A domain

    Finance, health, retail or insurance. Knowing the business doubles your value.
