I too am a big data analyst/scientist (term seems interchangeable in the industry, just depends on which company you work for/how much coding you do) and I am wondering where you see the career path evolving if at all? Do you see it becoming a full division of companies in the future (i.e. a BI department akin to an R&D dept.) or simply as an internal assisting department like IT?
I know at the companies I have worked for it feels like it is being held stagnant in the support side, but as someone with access to the data and the insight that it gives I feel like it should be given much more importance in the overall structure of the business. After interviewing with Google I feel like they are one of the few companies (along with FB, ebay, and yahoo) that are developing it into it's own branch of the company that is intertwined with the other branches.
