Hi, I am a relatively new SWE with fair experience of Data Science as well. I want to know from people who have been in the industry long enough in either of these domains about experiences and what would you advice me to choose and why? Which one is a good career option in the longer run? #softwareengineer #datascience #leetcode
At some places (e.g. FB) DS is paid less than SWE and is basically 2nd class citizen.
This is true
Can you elaborate on how/why DS at FB is like 2nd class citizenship
Be a SWE and do modeling too, like ML engineering. It's easier to lean that direction than the opposite. Unless you specifically are more into the business side and want be more like a technical MBA, then maybe data science and reach into product/finance.
People taking the poll, if you could please write why you chose what you chose over the other one, it'll be really helpful.
