Why You Should Learn Machine Learning Engineering and Not Data Science






According to [1], Data Science is one of the most sought after jobs on the job market. But is this still the case? Or is there already a more desirable one?

There is! Machine learning engineering is overtaking data science in the job market.

In this article, I want to shed light on why machine learning engineering is overtaking data science in my opinion and how you can start learning it.

But let’s first start with understanding the difference between both job roles.

The quote from a Snowflake article summarizes the differences quite well [2]:

Machine learning engineers are further down the line than data scientists within the same project or company. A data scientist, quite simply, will analyze data and glean insights from the data. A machine learning engineer will focus on writing code and deploying machine learning products.

We can also take a look into the lifecycle of a data science project to understand the differences better:
