I've come across a plethora of titles across industries, including:
- AI researcher
- AI engineer
- Data scientist
- Machine learning engineer
There are slight and subtle differences in the implied roles but I've also seen these roles used interchangeably.
Is there a "best" role title that is most sought after? And what does the role progression look like? For example, for MLE I would assume:
- Jr Machine Learning Engineer
- Machine Learning Engineer
- Sr Machine Learning Engineer
- Team Lead - Machine Learning
