Coles notes:
Data Engineer - more money, more clout, less analysis / interesting projects, more job security, more infra style work
Data Science - less money, a lot of random projects (Sometimes totally overqualified for), more analytical, don't have as much clout / confusion & lots of people don't actually understand capabilities.
- zhdc1 4y agoChecks my CV: 50k+ lines of R, 10k+ lines of Julia, 5k+ in Python, C, and who knows what else. Most of it for what is, essentially, data engineering work. Where do researchers with social science degrees fall on this scale? Less money, less clout. The projects are certainly interesting though (which is why I do what I do).
