Data engineer vs Data Scientist vs MLE

Question

I have recently graduated with a Masters in Data Science and looking for jobs but there are so many career paths. Any suggestions which career path should I choose Data engineering or Data Scientist or Machine learning engineer. Which profile is going to be in demand in future?

Do what you interests you do. If you are a good math and stats, do data science and presenting your analysis to business folks. If you are better at architecture and SQL, do data engineering.

Agree w Brooklyn that you should play to your strengths - Product DS if you like communicating and building out strategy based on analyses, Applied DS/MLE if you have strong software and ML skills, DE if you like plumbing and data infrastructure. In terms of demand there’s definitely demand for all 3 and probably will be for a while, but supply of product DS candidates is generally higher than the other two as you have lots of less technical folks from consulting/BA backgrounds looking for those jobs. MLE probably has the best supply to demand ratio.
