I have a lot of friends struggling to get a job there after their masters. Job market there is in a bad condition. Let’s see how it changes after the US elections.

If the courses in the degree provide good exposure to ML literature and SOTA techniques and are designed around it, the degree will be worth it. Not to mention the learning might be more streamlined when you're enrolled in a college. 
  
 I never found analytics vidya to be enough though.

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

I am trying to transition from a business analyst to data scientist. I was wondering would a post graduation in the same be worth the expense and effort? Or having a significant presence in the community ( like kaggle, analytics vidya etc) is enough? 

If degree is a good to have then please recommend which one.

Thanks in advance!

Data science degree worth it?

Data science degree worth it?- Grapevine

Hi all. I'm currently an analyst (no exposure to DS). Is it worth doing an MS in Data Science? I do realise that upskilling without a degree is possible, but I also see a some MNCs prefer to have post grad candidates. 

Would be very helpful if you could share your experiences/ opinions.

MS in Data Science - Worth it?

Data Analyst

Just curious about what others think here.

From someone I met yesterday, they concluded that it might not be dying but it has gotten extremely competitive at entry levels. It might be dying for the extreme noobs probably because these noobs can find better jobs (money/effort) in Product Management or Founder's Office yada yada.

Personally, it’s highly competitive now. I mean it was always easy to get in with a masters degree. Now it is hard to get in even with a PhD.

True, people get hired without masters degrees but only a small fraction of them are doing really great work. Your skills to progress matter more than a piece of paper here.

But Is data science still worth it in 2024?

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

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

I am currently working in Accenture as a backend developer. Do you think its wise to change the technology at this moment. I have around 3 years of experience. And i am not getting any learning opportunities in my current company. 

Also what is the roadmap to learning Data Science?

How should I change my technology from Java to 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?

Is it necessary to do a data scientist course to transit from a different role?

Sales Manager

Hello, I'm working as a senior data analyst with years of total work ex. I want to move into data science other more complex things. 

Most data science and machine learning courses I come across online seem very shallow to me. 

The post graduate diploma or certificate programmes from good institute cost more than 2 lacs.

I recently came across Applied Statistics course from IGNOU. This course deals with statistics but does not have programming component in it. 

Can anyone guide me on how to move into data science and will this Applied Statistics course help me?

Currently I use SQL, Python and Tableau.

Thanks in advance.

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?
