Software Architect or AI Engineer

Nov 23 2024 3:34 PM

Hi All, I am Lead Software Engineer with 14 years of experience. I am currently leading a team to build the RAG based app. I have great opportunities to work in multiple AI projects. Now I have got the opportunity to use Azure AI for the project needs and have got multiple projects to do in azure ai studio.

I am a software architect aspirant. but all you know its a huge topic, I think still I have a long way to go,,

I am quite excited and also confused about my career. As I try to learn more "Data Science & AI" I explore its very big and exhaustive.

I understand that I should know both the Architecture and Newer technology.

1. Am I have to get deep into the "Data Sceince & AI" world to build intelligent systems?
2. My Manager says to switch to "Data Sceintist" Role? Am I good to switch? The .net lower growth trend and less job openings are making me to think to move to fully into AI roles as well.

Kindly help me to select my career path "Architecture with Wide range of knowledge" or "Azure AI Engineer" or "Data Scientist"
