I'm currently working as a data scientist with Amazon. Though my bachelor's was in computer science, I've been working as a data scientist all my career.

Looking at many company's reluctance towards ml and Ds during financial crisis I'm thinking to switch to sde.

How do I make the transition? What kind of projects should I do? Any advice in general?

YOE : 2
TC : 180k

  • You have a CS degree, so only issue for you is you’ve built experience in a different area. I’m assuming you may have forgotten a lot of CS crap lol.

    Really if you can review/master data structures, time analysis etc.. and do like 300 Leet questions you should be good.

    hello :)
    Since you only have 2 yoe, you’ll be applying to pretty much entry level jobs. LC for 2 months and apply for sde positions at other companies and say you worked as sde at Amazon and have ds/ml knowledge as well. If you do have a design round expectations won’t be too high and reading up grokking will cover that
