What roles do I best align with?
Trying to see what roles I best align with as I'll be applying to FAANG/Uber/etc relatively soon.
At work, I do a mix of software development for stochastic optimization algorithms and data analysis. I'm fairly decent with ML as I keep that skill alive with side projects but haven't implemented anything at the job.
I love math, so I'm trying to figure out if applying for FAANG DS, MLE, or Software Development roles are the best option for me based off of what I do now. I didn't originally study CS, so I'm still very much getting used to software dev stuff. Mainly a math guy.
Not super familiar with the big tech world as I'm coming from aerospace. Thanks!

Better question would be, what jobs have you been looking at and we’ll tell you if it’s a good fit.

Fair enough. I think I'd be a great candidate for something like job #1, however these sorts of jobs are so far and few in between (estimation theory + ML), so I've added something as general as #2 to the list.
