As a Data Scientist and Software Developer I kind of live in the middle ground. I can say that calculus is a far more important subject for Software Development than stats, When you start to transition to more analytic jobs then you start seeing more statistics.

When people ask me for math content my first thought is always go first on calculus and then branch off from there.

Most people that stats are reduced to calculus, more important is probability which is related to scientific method.
