Data Engineer = SQL monkey, etl, hadoop. Data Scientist= stats with shiny graphs
Above only for Amazon
Above are correct, although scientist in this day and age must understand more than statistics. Math & programming for hyperparameter tuning, ensembling, etc.

Why doesn't OpenAI offshore and reduce expense by 80%
At FB, it seems there is less coding for data scientists, focusing on data analysis and visualization in Jupyter-like notebooks using Python or R. Data engineers focus more on writing ETL and spend a lot of time writing Python and SQL in Dataswarm, which is similar to Airflow (AirBnB) or Luigi (Spotify).
A-MA-ZING, thanks 🙏
