We often know what daily work-life of senior software engineers or even a team lead is, since as software engineers, we interact with them usually. As our work experience tends to grow more than 10+ years, roles and responsibilities vary across different organizations as well as different technologies.
If you
know what a manager's day looks like, you will be indulging in training and
preparing for those activities subconsciously early. With fast-paced appraisals
and digital disruptions, staying ahead and ever-relevant is even more
important.
Many
college students and juniors have asked me what the day in the life of a Data Scientist
Manager looks like. So here I am writing about it. I am also writing a Sapient Consulting Bangalore feedback entailing the same.
What are the usual tasks and processes for me?
I am
going to tell my experience, this may not apply to other organizations, domains
or even projects.
I have
been working in Publicis Sapient for the last 3 years as Manager Technology for
a Data Science Division. I am part of an internal team that does requirement
gathering, feasibility analysis and finally develop use cases to be shown to
prospective clients.
Being a
part of the Data Science team, I work on new technologies, new devices and
gather which use cases are going to be relevant in the near future. So, my work
is both exciting and challenging. For example, I have worked on Big Data,
Internet of Things, Data Lakes and Quantum Computing, all in two years of
working here.
In this Sapient Global Markets Bangalore reviews, I will tell you how my work is broadly divided. Please continue reading this post.
New
Client Proposal: I get to do
an estimation of project delivery, project planning, solutions finding for
different clients separately. Based on my work, we sometimes bag or lose a
client, so work pressure is present. But since it is a team effort in
conjugation with Senior Managers and Directors, the pressure is manageable.
There are no hard feelings and my team is often applauded for client
conversions or new use case development.
Data Scientist
skills come in handy in
Prototype Development once all the above activities are completed and senior
management gives a “go ahead”. Data analysis, Data procurement, Data
Quality Analysis are some of the major tasks which I need to do while analyzing
data provided by a prospective client (or available online freely such as
Google research data, research papers) is usable for Machine Learning training
or not.
Data
preprocessing, Data enrichment, Exploratory Data Analysis are some of the steps
which every data scientist goes through while working on a project. The same
goes for my team. We follow the agile-based project development, where we
discuss the progress, problems in daily scrum meetings.
Finally,
I present the client with the best possible solution. This cycle repeats every
three-four months.
Stakeholder
management is another
essential responsibility of mine. I maintain the balance between the Publicis
Sapient Leadership team, the Client, Sales team, as well as Internal team under
me. Cost-benefit analysis, agile-based project management are some of the
managerial tasks. For People Management, inter-team handling, communication, presentation, and
negotiation are some of the necessary skills.
I hope
it was worthwhile Publicis Sapient Bangalore reviews for you.
