Pretty soon companies are going to start realizing that the 4x DEs can largely replace that 1 DS, and they will be more than happy to do so.
I went into DE because I was kind of forced into the space, but I'd strongly prefer doing full-stack DE. Anymore, I still have the opportunity to build models, they just aren't client-facing stuff, but instead are kind of Data Plumber Bots that help me do my job better so I can waste more time building other fun bots that I can't otherwise be paid for.
Seems like a waste of resources, but my manager could have another DS tomorrow, but my role would take months to fill.
