Is there any one who has done a mid career transition to data/tech? I have been part of edtechs most of my career, have learnt backend, cloud and data analysis on the job. I am now quite done with edtech in general and want to do something different. I am facing issues in getting my resume shortlisted for data roles. Any one has any suggestions?

Exit options for Data Science

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?

Thinking of transitioning from Data Science to Data Analytics

Hey everyone, happy to answer any questions around Data Science/ML/AI and making a career within it

A brief about me, I work currently as a Sr. ML Engineer at an Indian unicorn startup 
I graduated 5+ years ago and have since worked as a Data Scientist / ML Engineer at an ecommerce company and social media company. My designations have changed based on the industry requirements and work too changed based on that.

Would love to take questions on what it means to be an ML Engineer, my early learnings from a career in data science, and thoughts on AI.

Look forward to all questions :)

How can one transition from a traditional IT role to a data science position?

Data Engineering Transition

Data Analyst

I'm a data scientist and very disgruntled with my current team and manager. It's very clear I would not like to grow in my current team in the long run. A lateral move to another team wouldn't really benefit me (esp. my compensation). I've made a decision to skill up and look for opportunities outside. 

For context -I am currently making 21lpa at a bank. I have about 2 years of work ex. When I joined my org two years ago, I was making about the same and so I've seen barely any salary growth in the last two years.

Questions:

1. Does the market pay higher than this for a data scientist with 2 years of experience? What companies to focus on?

2. What should I focus on to clear interviews? My current was through campus placement so I'm not very experienced with looking for jobs on my own.

Data Scientist - Ideas for growth in the next 6-12 months?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

format:

1. If your company is hiring, let us know if you can provide a referral or can help somehow. Be ready with a fake/temporary Email Id to accept applications/resume, if you want to.

2. If you know any other company hiring:
Would be better if you could provide the link to the job or company or its career page, it's ok if you only want to share the name.

3. If you know a stealth or very small startup hiring right now, either share someone's LinkedIn/Twitter profile whom we can reach out to or ask to DM. 

4. If you have recently interviewed at a company, try to share a bit about their expectations and interview experience.

5. Recruiters, you know better than most of us, please help, ok ?

Wherever possible, try to mention the tech stack and years of experience expected.

The idea is to not just give a name, provide as much information you can to keep the thread clean and 'to the point'


Happy Hunting/Helping 😃


PS: (not mandatory) anyone who gets a job using this thread needs to give a treat to the person who helped them and post their interview experience on GV 😉

Paytm is hiring but don't join even by mistake.

Senior Software Engineer

Is there anyone out there who was working in completely different domain such as some support project with 2.5+years of experience and with no skills similar to Data Engineering and who still managed to transition to Data Engineering. 

Looking for some guidance. Thanks in advance

Transitioning to Data Engineering

Data engineer

Data analyst (1.5 yoe) working mostly in query developments and power bi here. Can't hope for further growth in my current company (too much hierarchy). Currently brushing up python skills to boost up my resume. Any suggestion from experienced folks is highly appreciated.

Need suggestions to make a switch in data domains.

I'm currently considering a career change and am interested in transitioning into data science. What are the essential steps and resources needed to make this transition successful? Any tips or advice on overcoming challenges during this process would be greatly appreciated!

How to switch

Software Lead

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I am curious to know if people have switched roles while retaining the pay relevant to experience.
Examples -
QA Engineer/devops engineer/frontend(2+ yrs exp) to backend(SDE2 or similar)

Has anyone shifted roles without sacrificing your experience/pay?

Consultant

I have been working at a financial company for last 8 months (my first job out of college). I don't like the  work and contemplating switching to SDE roles.

Does it make sense to switch to SDE? Also is career growth and compensation generally higher for SDEs?

Does it make sense to switch from Data Science to SDE?

I have close to 6 years of experience as a data scientist- all hands on role. I lead workstreams & small sub teams. From here, how do I upgrade myself to a more leadership position in data science roles?

Most of my experience lies in traditional ML using python with a concentration in Pharma/Healthcare Industry.

What kind of skills should I pick up? And what kind of companies/roles I should aim for?

PS: I also completed my MBA recently.

How do I reach a leadership position in data science?

Basically the title. I have been working in the sales domain for more than 5 years and for the last couple of years, I absolutely hate it due to stress and lack of interest. I have been learning python inconsistently for the last 1 year but now I have shifted my gears and learning statistics and ways to implement it on the real world problems through Python. Internal transfer is almost impossible as it is a pure sales organisation which outsource equipment from China and sell it here.

I am a little bit concerned about my efforts and time which I am dedicating for the learning as I have gone through various articles and similar LinkedIn profiles and found one point of commonality i.e. Almost everyone had undergone a course based certification from Learning Sites such as Upgrad, Simplilearn etc. this questions my process of learning and making me worried about my decision to go on a self learning path. I don't have any Godfather in companies or good friends through whom I can at least apply for a refer. All I can do is to apply directly over the website. Would like to know your opinion?
