Data Engineer Skills
Career prospects: If you’re working as a data scientist, your next job title may well be senior data
scientist, a position that’ll earn you about $20,000 more per year on average. You might also choose
to specialize further in machine learning as a machine learning engineer, which would also bring a
pay raise. Or, you can look more toward management with roles like lead data scientist. If you want
to maximize earnings, your ultimate goal might be a C-suite role in data — such as chief data officer
— although these roles require management skills and may not involve a lot of actual day-to-day
work with data.
