With the big fat salary and the hype that comes with Data Science, it is quite obvious that Data Science jobs are becoming very competitive. After all, who doesn’t want the money that comes with the hype?

Most companies are hiring lots of Data Science professionals and have recently seen its side effect on companies making them spend huge sums of money in hiring these professionals. With regards to this, most companies have started out-sourcing their Data Science projects to Freelancers who can do the job without hiring them full-time which is saving the companies huge sums of money.

Again, the Covid-19 Pandemic has made several companies embracing remote work or work from home. Meaning a company in the USA is now comfortable hiring a candidate from India so far as they qualify for the position.

What does this mean to you as a Data Science professional, aspirant, or enthusiast?

By the way, if you are reading this article, I assume you already have some data science, data analytics or machine learning skills to work as a Freelancer or remote worker. If not, I strongly recommend you start it the easiest and fastest way by learning through this project-based course on Udemy which has transformed many people into Professional Freelance and Remote Data Scientist.

Instead of submitting your resume to several companies and joining their queue to wait for a reply, and if you get employed, you get chained to one company, why not take advantage of Freelancing and earn more from different sources even with flexible working hours in your home, under your own convenience, which is more than you can get in any company.
