Data Scientist, Machine Learning Engineer, Data Analyst, Business
Intelligence Analyst, Data Engineer and AI/ML Research Associate are the roles this course
maps to. These roles overlap heavily in the underlying skill set — Python for data
manipulation and modelling, SQL for pulling and shaping data, and a BI tool for building
dashboards that stakeholders can self-serve from — but they differ in who you report to and what
decisions your output feeds into.
