on: Engineers Shouldn’t Write ETL
This article matches my experience exactly. Some companies will hire a “data scientist” on pedigree. They will be low on skills and high on charisma. The engineers are burdened with implementing the ideas as well as shoulder the failure of the algorithms. “You spent the last few months implementing algorithms and none worked?”. Very little blame will go to the data scientist. In tons of cases data scientists are more like product managers.

They might be physically attractive, but beyond that I feel like I am jumping from poor relationship prospect to poor relationship for eternity.

Weird part is, if you get into a hedge fund it's not that hard to make that much, even for engineers.
