Having worked as a data engineer before and now working as a data scientist I cannot agree with that article. Data Engineering was really boring. The most complex math I ever used was computing an average value of something. Most of the time your work is only ETL, just data in/data out. The most complex technology I ever used was a search engine. Everyone in IT who likes to do some math and statistics at his workplace, even if it simply a linear regression or some histograms should go for data science. Also instead of nonsense discussions about what is agile and what not, I enjoy talking with my colleagues about the newest papers in ML, even if nobody understands the details.
