发帖数: 201 | 1 Question: what is the future of SAS programmers when jobs are not so easy to
find?
Short answer: very bright.
Long answer: very bright depending on how you handle the situation, how you
purposely develop your knowledge and skills and adopt them to the current
needs.
Here is the trend:
1) 20 years ago: if you tell a hiring company that you know SAS, then you
get a job.
2) 10 years ago: if you have a master in statistics and you know SAS, then
you get a job.
3) Now: if you have a master / phd in statistics and you know SAS and you
have 1 year industry experience, then you .... probably .... get a job....
What is going on here?
the world is changing, the supply is increasing (so many stat majors), the
demand is changing - companies are expecting more and more from employees....
why?
The world asks for more from companies.
You can complain.
But complaining itself wont make your job searching better.
A better strategy is to look into yourself and ask: what I can do to make
myself attractive?
how?
1) review what you've learnt both from school and practice and make yourself
at home with all knowledge and skills. For example, if you as a stat major
cannot explain what p value is and what ci is to your hiring manager, then
you'd better sit down for a few evenings and try to understand them well
before you go more interviews.
2) study the trend of the industry: what it is looking for. For examples,
many pharm companies ask for SDTM skills from a candidate (just search
indeed or monster and read the job description), then you should try to
learn them.
3) study what SAS is doing. For example, SAS has developed many new things
recently: Bayesians, Java, Perl, even groovy. Do you know them? Can you
use them? Can you develop your skills sets to handle them? Remember SAS
is constantly studying the industry trend in order to be competitive. If
you just stick to base certificate or ADV certificate levels, you cannot
make yourself stand out from the crowd.
It is enough to just post your resume to monster or indeed.
It is never enough to concentrate on yourself and improve your self.
In my opinion, there is a great future for people with stat training and
programming skills. I'll explain what it is later. |

发帖数: 469 | 7 Today there are tons of people who claim they are SAS professionals, have
been using SAS for xyz years. I personally know a handful of them. Most of
them fall into one of the following categories:
1. Doing exclusive with SAS data step, and not familiar with anything else;
2. Working with one or two SAS proc's, and not knowing anything else;
3. Displaying SAS graphs in a fashion way, and not knowing anything else.
4. Adding some lines to existing SAS programs routinely, and thus believing
he is an experienced SAS programmer, even though he is highly unlikely to
know how to write a simple code on his own, for example to compute the sum
of integers from 1 to 100, without using Data step.

发帖数: 201 | 8 Thanks for all the valuable comments and insightful observations:
1) SAS is (or may be) useless for stat ph.d. The conclusion is likely based
on looking at SAS as an inefficient tool for frontier statistical research.
It is really true. SAS might not be the best tool for your dissertation
or Biometrica publications. And many people might pick other tools like R.
And it is the reality at academics: professors or stat phd might be
inclined towards R or C or C++ when it comes to doing research in the
statistics field, not SAS.
2) "SAS professionals" might not be real "SAS" professionals. They might
just be
"professionals" without a good understanding of SAS itself. I see SAS
programmers with many years experiences still work at the copying and
pasting level.
However, to realize that SAS is useless for some ph.ds does not mean it is
useless for all ph.ds. I see Bancova student with stat phd became SAS
developpers at SAS institute; I see phds in stats are top macro system
authors in big pharmaceuticals. Whether it is useful depends on what you
are going to do with it in your life.
SAS can be a tool in your life; but to achieve your life goals, you might
use SAS as one tool, or you can use other tools.
For many people, SAS has become an important tool, a tool to bring paychecks
for one's family.
The reason of being so has something to do with the culture, the industry,
the legal regulation.
Thus, SAS represents a social phenomenon. Embedding itself in the
scientific and technological area, it has shaped and is shaping the society.
To that end, we (or some of us) need to master it, understand it, and use it
well. If not just for publishing papers, then for bringing paychecks to
our kids.
BTW: to be really serious about SAS, it's better to focus on the basics.
Its ok to talk about interview questions (one short to macro interview
questions http://bancova.com/?q=node/49), but you should go deeper to understand what is behind the questions. There might be shortcuts, but not for every one. |

发帖数: 1269 | 40 I just want to point out one thing.
Some claimed SAS profressional with so many years of experience can easily
find a job even though their only skills are copying and pasting. In
contrast, people who claim they have good sas knowledge but find themselves
really hard to find a job. Why? I think most of the people here knows the
answer, especially in a economic downturn and we need sponsorship.
We can not expect ourselves knowing everything even through we always tried
to. Without being in a industry, you have no idea about what they do and
there is no way to learn the skills in industry. If you have a good boss
when you at school and get exposed to some industry useful skill, you are
lucky. I still remembered someone in a manager level from a big insurance
company told me that if he hire a person, he will give the person 6 months
or a year to be familiar with data.
As far as I know, Bancova training is good and it did help some people find
the job. However, you should ask yourself whether you like this industry or
not. Is this the industry you want to spend the rest of your life. People
without Stat backgroud can find a job in pharm industry, I am not surprise
at all. I think this person must really like sas programming and spend huge
amount of time on it. He should deserve that.
SAS is a tool. That's right. So are R, C++,perl,python, hadoop. If you want
to go into pharm, you can try it. Win, you win everything. Lose, you only
lose 800 buck + sometime |

发帖数: 2 | 49 Usually dedgree is more important for applicant for analyst position; but,
for sas programmer in banking/insurance/other industries, the statistics
degree does not matter. There are many applicants from other fields who got
the jobs as sas programmer. It is better to learn sas base and advanced. If
possible, do some workshop or projects to get hands-on sas programming
skills. there are many training schools to offer sas programming. one of
them is bitrainingstar.com thanks. |

programmers just like there wont be a position called typist or senior excel
user. This was a position for specialized data analyst who can leverage
this data analytic tool. Now since the emerging of other tools (R etc.), It
will all come back to the nature of the function -- data analyst, modeler
etc. |
