Data Engineers vs. Data Scientists: The Difference According to LinkedIn Data by @jakestein via @stitch_data

In 2012, Harvard Business Review named data scientist the "sexiest job of the 21st century." In 2017, it is expected for demand to continue for data scientists, but the talent gap will be framed in terms of data engineers (more than data scientists).

I found this really interesting. From my own point of view I'm in the middle of the two roles with certain skills missing which means I can use this as a indicator of what skills I need to gain in order to go in either direction - something that you can do too.
