Data Scientist vs ML Engineer | A Data Scientist’s Perspective

Data scientist is a dead job… the future is data analyst, data engineer, and ML engineer.

Keep posting I just discovered your channel. Chin up mate.

There is a new merge of Full stack ML engineers - that's a problem company will look for the Swiss knife guy who is willing to be Data analyst, ML engineer data engineer and Data scientist for the same amount of cash...

Clearest differentiation between DS and ML, good content!

Still loving the hand gestures after all these years

Watching this video ater the ChatGPT strom

I'm getting a masters in compsci in machine learning and software engineering.

I Love deep diving into code and solving hard problems

This really helps. The ML engineer sounds like the technical expert who knows the algorithms inside and out. This is what I want to do.

Sister, which one has more scope in future AI and ML or AI and datascience ,past few days I am in extreme dilemma kindly help me please

I think that ML description from Medium is quite accurate, and I would also include the data preprocessing and Data Engineering in a highly scalable, repeatable and tested way that withholds quality of data in both metadata and data values to support a sustainable model update

First off love the video ... but the "code monkey" quip... ugh stats nerds. Joking aside... People like different roles, but don't tear down people b/c they like the code. An ML engineer is very far away from a code monkey. Code monkeys are typically only found at medium+ businesses where someone finds the super repeatable task and focuses only on that task. My best example would be BI developer who only builds Tabular models and neglects ETL, Data Analysis, Reporting, and Schema design. I am technically a "data scientist" but I run our MLE vertical, we solve a wide array of problems and no one is coming on my team as a code monkey.

Data scientist is definitely the better role. After all, data scientist belongs to the business side, while machine learning engineer is merely a tech guy that they hire to do the time-consuming technical stuff that they don't want to do.

Great video, I must admit it was more comfortable to me when using playback speed X1.25. Looking forward to seeing your other vids!

Great content. It’s so good to hear reliable and detailed information around these subject areas amidst many other channels that are selling the “ML Engineer in 2 months” dream. Love your channel Richard

Nice balance. Intense but not annoying. Bravo

One obvious thing no youtiber has figured out and that is why I think commonsense is more important than the currently measured IQ or top school education. Imagine buying something from amazon and being asked to give good reviews before you get to try the product.

Cool video, but geeezzz.. your voice......

Great insights, exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!

"I'll take work that I enjoy more any day over extra $10-20k."
Well yes sir but your salary is probably in the top few percent of people on this planet ;)

Thanks for the great vid.

Really appreciate these videos dude, keep up the good work!

....:(

I should probably be a ML engineer. Don't really like telling story.

Very interesting video, maybe the clearest I've seen so far at breaking down what exactly these positions are (from someone who knows their sh...)
Thanks 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Thanks million for your comprehensive explanation! It was brilliant. I suppose, in storytelling, you are the best. Thanks a lot

Richard, what about Data Science as the name of the general curriculum in the future (analogous to Computer Science), covering different company roles such as MLE, data engineers etc. (such as CS produces developers, QA engineers etc.)? The rising DS curricula at universities point into this direction.

Good info. Thanks Richard.

Can you please do a video on a double masters
where a person does an CS undergrad,
a one year masters in Data Analytics.
Then an additional one year AI and Machine Learning masters.

Thanks.

If i have a cs bachelors and i want to be an ml engineer, would you recommend a statistics masters or a cs degree that focuses on ml?

Nice content! Im taking my BSc in Data Science at Lisbon-Portugal. The salaries in U.S are 5x time higher than in Portugal. We earn like 22k a year (in average), it's just stupid. I hope to get a chance to work in the U.S, you guys are really getting paid 🤣

Can you do a video about all the tech that you use in your Data Science projects?

Keep the great work!

Hi Richard! Thanks a lot for your channel! Very interesting for absolute beginners like myself :) Right now I am digging through several books/tutorials. I can feel my progress in ML and understanding of the field. But here is the problem: I feel that I really need the community of learners and real projects to work on.
But how to offer one's basic knowledge of data science and ML algorithms so that others would find it helpful even for free? Right now it seems that even volunteer positions are looking for super professionals. It would be very interesting to hear (or see) your suggestions on this problem. Hope it makes sense! Thanks in advance!

Great video. Thank you for making this. I'm currently a junior CS major so I'm currently trying to figure out what exactly I want to do. Do you think you will make a video about grad school? That is an option I am currently looking into.

U are the sexiest
