For those who working in data science (hired for a data science job), how often does your team assign you to software development/engineering tasks. My interviewer made it clear that the position was specifically for a data science job (e.g. modeling, preprocessing, etc). It’s been 10 months and they’ve given me only software development work such as web application development and UI/UX design. I tried to talk to my boss but the response was more like “it’s a good learning opportunity.”

This is always a fear of mine when interviewing. Let’s say you have 5 interviews, 30 minutes each. In my experience it’s typically a “tell me about yourself”, then a few behavior questions, then 5 minutes for questions about the role/team.

If they never cover the day to day of the role in detail, then you have maybe 20-30 minutes total of questions about the role when it’s all done, which is not enough for details like data science vs software development to get hashed out.

Sorry I didn’t really answer your question, just wanted to share my frustration with you and wish you good luck!

Ah you got baited huh

Following.

MLOps (here in the distinct from modeling sense) is 1/4 of my current job, 1/2 of my last. No stuff like UI development though

Is it more worth it to go into FDD at a regional firm now, or hope that my current big 4 will transfer me come spring 2021?

I'm kind of in the mindset of only doing FDD at big 4, otherwise I'll go straight to industry. Am I being too down on mid-market FDD experience and the related exit ops?

Also, I can't go the route of doing FDD at a different big 4. Already got rejected by all of them cause I'm not in audit (but have CPA).
