Which is the main difference? Is AS more code oriented and DS more SQL and analysis?

DS is more oriented towards working through all steps through the data science lifecycle and less research oriented. Also, I've seen quite a few BIEs who moved into DS role.
Both role definitions are team dependent though. I've interviewed a few teams hiring ASs but the role sounded more like a DS.
In terms of compensation, AS>DS.
AS is proxy role for paying high TC to PhD folks . The quality of phd folks at amazon AS is π€’
It seems like amazon hire any PhD from any shit university with research in even electrical engineering or biomedical engineering
Similar to Pm role being a proxy to pay high pay to non-tech bachelors in English grads or MBA grad
(Iβm an AS)
