Time and again, data science has been touted as the hottest career option in the 21st century. But, do you know what goes on in the life of a data scientist? To understand this, Analytics India Magazine got in touch with Sadaf Sayyad, data scientist at Intuit, who walked us through a typical day at her work, alongside sharing interesting instances, career growth, and the impact she is adding to the team and the ecosystem. "For a data scientist, a typical day depends on the phase of the project one is working on. But, on a high level, my day starts with checking emails and messages for any urgent tasks. Then, we have a stand-up meeting to discuss the progress of the project and blockers followed by planning my day," said Sayyad.
