While there are companies that do everything just right, many other companies hire data scientists without the foundation of the right infrastructure to start working with artificial intelligence. Adding this to the fact that these companies often hire freshers who can't work their way around it, instead of experienced professionals, causing internal disagreements. The data scientist might have joined the company with hopes to create advanced machine learning algorithms to get valuable insights for the business, but gets stuck while sorting out the data infrastructure and creating analytical reports. As a result of this, the company gets frustrated for not seeing quick results and that leads to total demotivation.

Rapid tech transformation in the business landscape was the highlight of 2018. Business processes across industries were overhauled almost overnight on the back of artificial intelligence, machine learning, blockchain, robotics and data analytics. This transformation changed the nature of jobs, making them more tech-centric than ever before. As companies begin hiring technologically-adept individuals, here is a look at the jobs that will be most popular in 2019. In India, according to a Nasscom report, the data analytics sector will rise to $16 billion by 2025.

If you work in the technology sector, you know by now that areas such as automation, big data and artificial intelligence are where the most lucrative opportunities exist. A new report by online skilling firm Simplilearn throws some light on this, listing the most high-paying job profiles, the total number of jobs in that space and the cities where demand for these is the most.
