Data scientists think Data Engineers are earning more and have more opportunities and vice versa😀
And reality maybe except handful of people everyone is doing some s**ty work which they don’t enjoy.

If you want to make bank, be like one of the last 16 COBOL programmers left or support some monoluthic Scala monstrosity in a legacy DE environment. Python programmers are cheap, expendable, and trainable. I mean, you'll drive yourself to drink by supporting shitty codebases, but RICH! until they convert your code.

Having just been on the market, I'm a data scientist but a lot of the positions I get contacted about are more data engineering positions. So I'm not sure that these are really separate. I do think that there are fewer solely data science positions than maybe a few years ago, like where someone is handing you the data and you're just doing analysis. (Or they're on the BI or product side, where it's analysis plus a lot of other skills in those areas.)

Great for both, more jobs for data engineers in total probably, but there are also fewer qualified data scientists. Either way you can't go wrong in the short and mid-term.

The market for data science has become oversatured and competition for the highest paying jobs is ridiculous. DE is the way to go.

Well DE is a dependency for DS. In order to do DS uou need to have done DE. But you dont need DS to do DE.

I think market is hot for both of you have some experience. DE gets paid bit more in general.

TLDR: Getting over your ex of 2.5 years ghosting you after they said they wanted to reconnect.

I was dating someone for about 2.5 years and then we broke up because of COVID and the long distance was making it too difficult to continue. The break up must’ve been like a 4-5 minute FaceTime because I was very distraught. After we broke up, she started seeing someone else but I was heartbroken and it’s taken me over a year to really get over everything and process those feelings. (Cont.)

One of the primary aims of the criminal justice reform movement is to help ex-convicts re-enter the workforce by sealing criminal records, and making it more difficult for employers to judge applicants based on criminal history. The idea is that people are redeemable and capable of reform. Yet the same movement thoroughly enjoys getting people fired and publicly shaming them for making arguments they find “offensive”. A rapist is capable of reform, but not someone who makes a dumb tweet. Got it.

Coming to the realization that consulting is not for me (tech person) feeling angry that salaries at D will never be on pair with FANG and that leadership is not tech focused. For example you could be a soul contributor at fang making 240k and people at Deloitte wait 10+ years to earn that as Senior Managers because they need to climb the corporate ladder. It seems super clear cut to me now, if you want to make money in tech don’t join consulting firms. Am I wrong?
