Lol!!! So true.

🤔 if you have a CS degree why don’t you switch to software engineer. DS is a rabbit hole when you go deep. It’s not easier than SWE.

My degree is a specialization in Machine Learning / AI! My CS skills aren't great... my Bachelors was in a different stem field so my cs fundamentals are weaker than most. Most of my skillset carries over to DS rather than SWE

My personal goal is to have my own start up, so I seek new knowledge domains and don't really go deep into them.

If your goal is to work in big tech, you will need to pick a field and specialize.

What I mean is: what is your goal? Do you want a small start up that requires more general skillsets or knowing many things or do you want to be in a big, established firm?

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?
