How do TCs compare between SWE and DS in high CoL areas? I’ve read a lot of things online that say the avg DS salary (idk about TC) is higher than that of SWE, but I also see a lot of very high TCs for SWE on Blind.
Ds makes very little
DS means data scientist??
Yea, DS usually makes way less than SWE
A lot of times those median figures are true nationally. However, in the Bay Area SW is king both in terms of pay and prestige (within FAANG)
DS are paid less than SWE and are treated as second class citizens and sometimes even third class peasants. Just ask a sql monkey data scientist from facebook
