Nah I'm back in Scotland.
To clear it up @ßöмßäяðîëя I am indeed Scottish (though actually I was born in Wales lol) but lived in Uruguay for 4 years, came back for a kinda visit and then the pandemic meant I had to stick around. So I'm Scottish but Uruguayo del alma. Just realised I never changed my Tuz location did I? That's probably the confusion.
I'm looking for some work here for the short term. Mid term I wanna be a professional musician again, so I've been taking practicing seriously for the first time in years and my idea is I'll get some gigs on cruise ships for a while. Make bank, have fun and travel while I figure out what to do with the middle third of my life (and all the cash).

Congrats man, that's fantastic!

I've become something of a rank amateur DS enthusiast on the side in my role. It's probably the area I've grown professionally the most in the past 5 years.
Personally, I'd probably pursue data science before finance. Finance is nice if you get in a role where you can project business investments. But more of that stuff is going to be subject to, ironically, data science and interpretation. There's a lot of folks who know finance but couldn't analyze or model a dataset supporting it to save their lives. And I get the sense with ML and AI that DS is one field where humans are still gonna be masters for some time.
And if you can add a narrative on top of data sets and the science behind it? You will have executives eating out of your hands.

@swag might agree with me that the term ‘data scientist’ is overused and has different definitions per firm and role.
I’ve hired 11 data scientists and managed over 20+. By my experience there is no distinction from getting a masters or completing a boot camp. The fundamentals revolve around statistics, data structures, and a language (R, python, Julia). FWIW, The best data scientist I’ve had the privilege of working with had his masters in biology who completed a DS boot camp.
No need to pursue an expensive masters program IMO.

Data engineering (ELT) is also part of DS. However with SAAS ELT tools like snowplow, Rivery, Glue this makes ELT much less of a challenge for the role
