I want to continue doing data science out of personal love for statistics and curiosity toward open world, research-oriented questions. (Undergrad-level math background, but no graduate degree - so academic/RS job is out of the question.)

1. Is this sustainable for career growth on SWE ladder (to remain as first class citizen at Alphabet)? Or should I switch to a purely DS-oriented path?

2. Should I give up on DS-style work, and focus on learning to become a better SWE instead (distributed systems and software design) for sake of TC and long-term trajectory?
