If you are just entering the job market, the best piece of advice I can give you is that taking any data job available is a poor career move. This doesn’t mean you should limit yourself to only accepting a 'Data Scientist' title straight out of university (or BootCamp) though.
It may not be true, but I'd imagine people getting into data science via the alternative path would be generally more motivated compared to the direct path people, because they had to really fight for finally becoming a data scientist. 🙂
Also, if someone didn't study data science at a university, the alternative path is most probably their only option to get into the field.

Really liked the list about the job titles too! 👏
At the end of the day, it’s truly about the journey to getting there, it certainly was for me.
Thank you for offering your reflection Tamás, happy you enjoyed the article.
