I want google brand name and data science / ml engineer title. It seems a bit difficult to get both of them right away at the same time but i am in an interview process with google for analytics role.

I really want ML engineering and data science experience in my career and am currently working on this plan (master degree). Hopefully i can make that transition at Google once i get this job and finish my master program.

How hard is it to make this transition internally? Does it get ugly at google? I saw some posts that it’s difficult in amazon

Or is it better to join as data scientist in the first place?

    Transferring teams is easy, but a ladder change at Google is pretty difficult.

      OP
      Thank you for your comment! And i assume analytics lead to data scientist is considered a ladder change.

      Is that because google prefers external hire than internal transfer to avoid any political conflicts? If that’s not the reason what’s the reason for the difficult cases? Thank you πŸ™πŸ»
