Pros and cons? Is it true that Data Science gets paid less in general?&nbsp;Context: New Grad, receiving Bachelors in Network Science and Masters in CS this May

Some more context:I was a SWE intern at Amazon 2 summers ago and MLE at Apple last summer. Imo it seemed like MLE is pretty similar to SWE just in the context of an ML system, but Data Science is a pretty different role?

Which one are you more comfortable with pursuing? If MLE, interviews will be leetcode medium, svm, pca derivation
random forests, specific questions regarding the role and existing company scenarios/problems presented as case suidies

Generally, doesn't it depend on the company size/tier? When I was looking, the jobs seemed similar enough as a new grad

#dataengineering and #datascience has its own set of Pepsi or Coke, Android or iPhone questions.

- Bayesian or Frequentist
- Explainable model or Ensemble model
- Databricks or Snowflake
- Postgres or MongoDB
- AWS or Azure
- Python or R
- Tensorflow or PyTorch
- Airflow or Prefect
- Hive or Iceberg
- Spark or Flink
- Lambda architecture or Kappa architecture

Sure you can pick other options outside these two but you’d probably be wrong.
