Hey everyone,

I worked as a Data Scientist for around 1 year, but due to layoffs I had to switch roles and now I’m working as an AI Engineer. I now have around 1.5 years of total experience.

I used to enjoy Data Science work more. Lately, AI Engineering/GenAI work feels mostly like building applications and doing vibe coding, so I feel like I’m not learning much anymore.

Is this normal early in the career? Any suggestions from people who moved from Data Science to AI Engineering?

Be in Data Science. AI engineering will be eaten by AI itself in the near future and it's for someone transforming from application development.

Yes, the majority of the jobs in today's market require GenAI. But GenAI is a workflow set-up job and it doesn't require much of the critical thinking like Data Science. In the current landscape of AI, anything which is easy to do can be automated. Even the fancy GenAI stuff of today falls into that category. Today's GenAI based application development is booming now because of the explosion of the use cases and integration of the GenAI into software workflow. And the concern is it's just integration not core algorithm development .

Be in touch of Data Science even though you are working on GenAI. Easier said than done but Data Science covers the fundamentals and will always be necessary. Companies will be using hybrid approach Machine Learning/ Data Engineering plus Generative AI, usefulness of both the worlds in their usecases.

I just signed the offer letter from Absolutdata acquired by Infogain , and even before joining the company they sent me a welcome kit.
I am unsure of joining them in case I get a better counter offer, but I am a bit worried now since they already sent me a welcome kit. I am wondering what made them sure that I will join them and not any other company. Is it that after signing offer letter I cannot join other company?
