How does a "Data Science" job look like?

There’s really very little intuition involved in neural networks lol

Other than extremely basic observations like, maintain some state when reading a sequence bit by bit, therefore use RNN etc

People like to imagine that it’s some field where you have these people with crazy mathematical intuition who see a problem and use knowledge to come up with the best approach — But in reality they just try a bunch of stuff and note what works. It’s very experimental. The title scientist actually kinda works

Knowing what works and doesn’t is more a matter of staying really up to date with research papers (aka what other people tried and their results), not really building up things logically from intuition
