Data Scientists: do you still get to build stuff?
Hi all,I am currently a SWENG at one of the big 4 in Japan and enjoy building things (especially on the back end). I am considering trying to transition into a Data Scientist role, but am unsure really what the role entails. Could anyone with experience in both roles talk a bit about how they differ, or what you miss about one role or the other?Background: I took a MOOC 'specialization' on ML...
When talking about the simple loan models, etc, this seemed dubious to me. Are engineers with no knowledge of ML building the models?
It works by showing a probability of correlation between features and output after careful training, validation, feature selection, and weighting on a lot of data. Sure, you may be surprised sometimes, but it just means there were patterns in the data that you weren't aware of.
I did think the deep learning car that won't listen seemed cool, though.
How much do you make at Google Japan?
I work at a large company in Japan and am considering moving to Google Japan. Just so I don't get my hopes up, what is the salary like there?Is the 10.5 million figure here base salary or total comp?https://en-hyouban.com/company/10053079977/report/?PK=D92033#report01If it is base, what is the total for a T3 or T4?
