Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I am an IIT Btech in Mechanical 2014 graduate age 31 and I started teaching Maths to JEE aspirants right after my graduation. Somehow I wasn't satisfied with it so I went to Canada in 2017 to do a graduate certificate in Computer applications development and did some online courses in Python and joined Micromasters in Data science from MIT which I couldn't finish, and ended up jobless in Canada. In lockdown I came back to India and in 2022 I rejoined the JEE teaching where I think I will be able to do good. Now at the age of almost 32, should I rethink about studying Data science, can I do well in the field of AI/ML if I pick up the courses again? Will I be able to land a good paying job in Delhi NCR, or should I just keep teaching since I'll get good at it in coming years?

Should I switch to Data Science

Education

Currently I have 1.5 yoe as a data scientist with CTC of 6 lpa. Thinking of transitioning to Data Analyst or SDE but can't figure out. I have graduated in Mechanical Engineering, so I don't have the pedigree to become a good SDE. What you all think?

Switch to Data Science domain

Analyst

Hi. I am currently working as an SQL Engineer - Support with almost 2 years of experience and 6 months of internship experience as Business Analyst (Stakeholder Management). I want to switch to Data Analyst profile as that was the field that I wanted to pursue my career in but due to the COVID pandemic, I accepted this profile.

I have done MCA from a Mumbai University affiliated college in 2022 and have an understanding of the general Data Analyst stack (SQL, Excel, Tableau, Power BI, Alteryx, Python). I have also completed various personal projects for my portfolio on the technologies mentioned above.

I have been applying for various Analyst/BI/Data Analyst related jobs since last year's October but haven't heard back from anyone. I want to understand what I am doing wrong or how should I change my approach regarding the job switch. 

Any suggestions/guidance is welcomed.

Test Engineer

Hi all,

With changing technologies in IT after a long introspection, I am thinking to go to Data Science/Analysis field. Currently I am working on a project where we work on analysing data using SQL in client databases for anomalies or current flow that can be improved.

I don't have any formal learning for data analysis field, but from what I learnt I need to learn python, statistics and probability, power BI etc for moving into data analysis field. After working for a while as a data analyst I can then move to learn to be a data scientist.

Need your guidance as veterans in this field.
Appreciate all the help.

Any good certification to move into data science field from data analytics?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Hi guys,

I have a tier - II MBA, 5 years of work-ex post MBA. I currently work in marketing and the pay is good. However, I struggle with my mental health in this role, especially because I am an introvert who deals with ADHD. I have figured out that IC roles with minimal dependency on other people is where I thrive. I also like working with data in my role, whenever I get the chance to do so.

 I figured that Data Analytics/Science could be one of the fields that I could work well in. 

How do I pivot to this field? Where do I start? What kind of salary structure can I look at? What would be the growth? Is it even worth it?
