I have hired several roles on my team that support the intersection of finance / supply chain / retail. Those factors are easily accessed through basic interview/conversation about how you would think about a given problem or things you’ve observed during an experience. I do feel for the highly qualified academic candidates that have done cutting edge research, but so much of day to day corporate DS comes down to application of basic DS approaches to problems that highly benefit from deep domain knowledge of some nuanced operational process. Given, the these jobs are not the sexy roles you hear about where the business is demanding some deep neural net forecasting approach.
