What Separates Good from Great Data Scientists?

The data science job market is changing rapidly. Being able to build machine learning models used to be an elitist skill that only a few distinguished scientists possessed. But nowadays, anyone with basic coding experience can follow the steps to train a simple scikit-learn or keras model. Recruiters are being flooded with applications, because the hype around the "sexiest job of the century" has barely slowed down while the tools are becoming easier to use. The expectation of what a data scientist should bring to the table has changed and companies are beginning to understand that training machine learning models is only a small part of what it takes to be successful in data science.
