[its_a_random_ac]

Something I've run into is that a while ago, there were "Type A" ("Analysts") and "Type B" ("Builders") data scientists [1] , but most job postings now are just looking for "Type A" data scientists, and the "Type B" openings have been renamed to "ML Engineer" or "Data Engineer."

Took me for a bit of a spin because when I was first interviewing this year, I'd apply for DS roles and only get interviews that were very stats heavy with a leetcode easy, but started getting further when I basically stopped applying for DS roles and went straight for MLE roles.
