A Data Scientist in the technology industry plays a pivotal role in making sense of complex data sets and providing data-driven insights to help shape strategic decisions and solve business problems.

Prior to becoming a Data Scientist, one might have worked as a Data Analyst, Business Intelligence Analyst, or a Statistician.
