Anyone have insight into data science at apple? Are data scientists sql monkeys, ML, or combo? Does apple distinguish between the product analytics vs ML roles (i.e. Facebook data scientist analytics vs data scientist core; Google product analyst vs quantitative analyst/research scientist) Also how is the comp for these roles?
I was an ml data scientist. L5 @ 290k tc. I got an above average rating after one year + 200k rsu refresher. Pay was comparable to that of swe. Now they also have mle positions which are closer to what I did work-wise. I studied more leetcode, then became a swe in google.
I believe Apple has a data scientist ( product analytics and NLP focused ) and a separate MLE position.
