As I know, the job market for a SAS programmer is still very bright. I have seen some discussions about SAS programmer vs. SAS analyst, the difference between the two is not clearly cut. In my opinion, they are same profession with different title.

    We are still constantly recruiting qualified SAS programmers working on our projects, but the success rate is pretty low. Most of candidates from China tried to tell us about their statistical background, and how many procedures they have ever used. Definitely, a statistical background is mandatory, but quite often, they failed in basic programming skills. I would all people here know that the most difficult part, unfortunately it is also the key requirement for a good programmer, in SAS programming is not various Stat procedures or Web stuff, it is the exeperience in data manipulation. In the other words, I would like to say that 70 to 80 percent of requirements comes out from SAS/Base. It does not matter which version of SAS you are using, how many CDs are there, SAS Language and Base procedures cover most of needs from clients

    If you are a good SAS progammer working in Beijing area, I am willing to hear from you.

    强烈同意以上观点,不仅仅是SAS,其他数据分析应用软件也一样,不但需要有深厚的统计背景,更需要有很强的编程能力,当然有项目实施经验就更完美了。说到底,无论什么数据仓库或者数据分析项目,数据处理或者预处理都占到70%-80%,甚至90%,你不能指望老板招同一个职位2个人(一个编程,一个负责调Model),一方面增加老板的成本,另一方面阻碍思路和沟通。

    只懂编程,或者像有些SASOR只懂统计,都是很危险的,大家加油啊!

或许更多的人认为SAS编程是工具,很快学的会。统计是专业,必须通过系统的学习来掌握。所以做数据分析,不会SAS,竞争力有损。不会统计,没有竞争力。SAS统计的应用需要procedures来表达,掌握proc应该是使用sas的一个较高的层次。
。。Most of candidates from China tried to tell us about their statistical background, and how many procedures they have ever used. ...这样的论断是没有根据而且带有偏见的。
另外一点,无论是对sas的掌握,还是对统计的研究,candidates from China are mostly very advanced for sure.

SAS编程统计还不够还要懂数据库

Both are very important. You may emphasize one side or the other. Even a professional SAS developer will be benefit with statistic knowledge.

Like a lot of people doing statistics are really not statisticians most SAS programmers are really not programmers at all.

统计学+sas编程+数据库开发才是王道,在大数据时代不懂数据库不行
