#3Compensation may be going up, but at top tech companies, software engineers still make significantly more than data scientists for the same level (twice the RSUs). I’ve noticed at non-tech companies, the reverse seems to be true: data scientists make slightly more than software engineers.

How do Machine Learning engineers stack up? Or Data Scientists who work in ML, same outcome?

That’s why you become a data engineer and get the best of both worlds. If you can market yourself to a company as a “full stack data developer” you will make more money than either category

Machine learning engineers (i.e. people with graduate degrees, preferably PhDs) typically outearn both, though when you factor in the work experience that software engineers have accumulated during the time the machine learning people were pursuing the PhD, it's pretty comparable. It's unclear how long this will last now that everyone is pursuing grad degrees in ML/AI.
Data scientists who do ML don't have the same prestige (and pay) as those who have that ML stamp from universities.

Not sure if your reply is on topic. Interesting reply, but the original article didn't state data scientists are making more than swes. The article just states that the demand for data peeps and the benefits they get are growing.

Obviously I'm biased in the other direction (and in another country), but this is interesting to me.
I've always taken the ML stamp from universities as a visible sign that you're a newbie, if not purely because those qualifications haven't been around for a sufficiently long time, so its basically a signal when you've got one that you must be just starting out.

It's relevant to nearly everyone who would be interested in the title of the article, though.

how? if profession A gets more demand and pay, does it matter if profession B gets more or less? Is it that damn important if A makes more than B or if B makes more than A?
