– What’s the real difference between being a computer scientist and a software engineer?

679 viewsEngineeringOther

I’d like to start my path in the tech field because I’ve seen it’s a lot more rewarding financially and also the teams seem to be friendlier than the non tech ones where they basically eat you alive in corporate.

I’m leaned more towards AI advancements but I’m not so sure which career will help me more in that case. I’m open to suggestions

Kinda unrelated, and this is from someone who does research at a university for AI/ML; if you are going to swap into tech, you should understand that AI Advancements are one of the highest levels of computer science you could go to. Lots of the guys in that field have PhD in Math or CS.

So unless you are planning to go get your Masters or PhD, don’t decide on Software vs CS with the long term goal of working in AI.
