Why Worshipping Lord Ram Important in Hinduism?
A recruiter has reached out to me for a Data Scientist-Analytics position at FB. I am wondering if I get this position, is it at the same pay-grade level as Research Data Scientist ? Can I move to Research DS or MLE positions after sometime ? I am just getting started with my career. Which one of this career path have stronger growth potential (earnings wise and impact) Research DS (predictive modeling related roles) or MLE vs DS-Analytics? Is it good to pursue DS-Analytics role now or should I wait & prep for Research DS position? Is it worth moving to MLE positions in few years down the line (Pay and growth wise)? What % more does an MLE earn compared to a Data Scientist? YOE: 4 yr as Data Scientist TC: 🥜 🥜 🥜 Location: low cost metro city Thanks in Advance! #faang #datascientist #datascience #machinelearningengineer
Research DS position is primarily for PhDs who know a bit of coding amd a lot of modeling. Building classifiers, models, but plugging into product is harder. FB DS Analytics is more product facing, less coding and modeling, but more presentations and convincing people of your interpretation of the data. They pay roughly the same assuming equal education + experience, research DS may have a slight edge but not that much.
There was a pay mapping shared for 2022. Apparently the RDS multiplier is 0.85x and DS A is 0.6x SWE refreshers and pay. The refreshers and stocks for RDS is around 50% higher for similar band
The DS analytics role is a consulting position with very little coding involved. Super customer facing. Its also paid less than the research DS and the MLE positions. If you move into FB as one role, you can theoretically transition into another after a year but there will be no change to your compensation. If you're looking for MLE or research DS, be prepared to grind Leetcode day in day out for months.
Thanks, this is helpful. Do you know how much is the difference in pay between these roles?
The MLE is compensated at SWE levels, so the base will be similar to DS analytics but equity will be 2x. No idea about DS research.
