Blockchain vs machine learning

Both data scientists and data engineers play an essential role within any enterprise. Data engineering does not garner the same amount of media attention when compared to data scientists, yet their average salary tends to be higher than the data scientist average : $137,000 (data engineer) vs. $121,000 (data scientist).

Data science is easier to learn than data engineering . Well there’s simply more resources available for data science, and there are a number of tools and libraries that have been built to make data science easier.

But, given that data engineers have a greater focus on the architecture and infrastructure that supports the work of data scientists , and data scientists are more concerned with developing and testing hypotheses through data, both professions would have to brush up on additional skills before that can make the leap.
