As the plethora of connected devices continues to rise and the Internet of Things (IoT) no longer remains a novelty, the amount of data we generate continues to rise exponentially as well. In fact , data will nearly double in size every two years if current trends continue. It’s no secret that there is an exponential demand for skills in big data and advanced analytics.
