My gut is telling me that a lot of companies will seek to leverage this economic downturn and layoffs to threaten staff into returning.

The dialogue until now has been fairly conciliatory, but we will start to see more come or go type of ultimatums...I am convinced.

I recently quit academia (social sciences) and I plan to transition into a data science career within the next year or so. This is the part I liked about my academic job and the stuff I am good at (statistics, analytical problem solver, data wrangling/modeling).

Reading through job ads the technical skill palette for DS seems overwhelming: python (+pandas, scikit, ...), R, docker, k8s, PowerBI, Tableau, PostgreSQL, DevOps/pipelines, different cloud providers, maybe add some javascript, various ML toolkits (Tensorflow, etc.).

I have 15 years of experience as a statistician (R/STATA/Linux/SQL) and a sabbatical year in front of me, which new skill(s) should I learn/prioritize?

Edit: I have a PhD.
