Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

Hey community, 
I'm a Fresher just graduated from a reputed NIT in May, and I've been laid off because of "management reasons" from a reputed MNC. My role therein was of an ML Engineer. I have about 5 months of experience and I'm looking for a role in data analytics or something similar. I'm currently in Bengaluru but I'm open to relocate anywhere. If there is anything that can be done to help me please please let me know. I'm new to the tech industry and I really am lacking a mentor. My pay at the previous company was about 11.5 lpa.
Thanks guys.

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I wanted to share my journey and seek advice on a concern I've been facing. After completing my undergraduate studies, I worked for two years before deciding to pursue a Master's in Advanced Computer Science in the UK, focusing on a thesis in Machine Learning as a part of course.

This decision was driven by my passion for the field and a desire to advance my knowledge and skills.However, due to some family issues, I had to return to India after completing my master's. 

Since then, I've been working in one of the MNCs here again on developement with very less package 12.50LPA.My overall IT expereicne was 4+ in IT. Despite my efforts and the advanced degree I hold, I've noticed that my master's qualification hasn't been given much consideration; instead, my career growth seems to be solely based on my experience.

I'm beginning to wonder if my decision to pursue a master's abroad has been more of a hindrance than a help in the Indian job market.

I would appreciate insights from this community on a few points:
-->Is a Master's degree valued differently in India compared to other countries?
-->How can I better leverage my advanced degree to benefit my career here?
-->Have others faced similar challenges, and how did you navigate them?
-->Do we really need to have better network in India to go to big positions?

Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

How to learn and create projects in edge computing? What are good resources to learn it practically?

Edge Computing

Application Analyst

Completed 3 years at Cisco this month as a Hardware Engineer, joined straight out of a tier-2 college in 2021.

Over my 3 years, what I've learnt is that Cisco is just riding on the monopoly it has in the networking space. There's basically no innovation when it comes to Router hardware, and we basically reuse existing designs, packaging them as "newer and better" products. No risk, no Ishq 🙁

There's absolutely zero investment in R&D, and any new feature that gets added to the products only comes in after one of the competitors launches them, keeping Cisco behind in the game.

If Cisco keeps going like this, I'm sure the likes of Arista and Juniper will over us in the next couple of years, even with the new "Silicon One" that Cisco's promoting. 

PS: I can only speak from a Hardware PoV, and I'm not quite updated with what's going on with Cisco's SW offerings.

No future for Cisco

Good work like R&D is rarely in Indian centres

Hi, I am a postgraduate student (M.tech in electrical engineering).I have a undergraduate student (B.E/b.tech,)teaching experience of 6.5 year before marriage and after marriage I discontinued working due to location issues since 2.5 years. Now I want to restart my career in IT sector since many wfh roles are available . I am aspiring for data analyst roles. Trying to build required skills from YouTube and other available platforms. But since from non-IT background unable to have clarity whether I am on right approach, will I ever get job through this process or I am just wasting time. Pls guide me.

To all lead data scientist and career transitioned ppl .

I have awork ex of 5 years and work with one of the best consumer tech startups in India making 32LPA and stocks. Lately, I feel that no matter how much you make here, the quality of life isn't all that great in Bangalore with the roads, pollution and what not.

At this stage, I can't lose 2 years of my time to a masters degree and start afresh in the USA.   At the same time, I'm not sure how to find  job opportunities in US, EU or even SE Asia.

Can anyone guide me on this?

Can anyone suggest me what should I do to get a job after career gap?

Job after career gap?

A little background: I'm 2024 cs grad from a tier 3 university placed at Zomato as an SDE-1. Getting a good pay of ~25 LPA. 

Should I be considering a masters in AI/ML field, considering I've no prior knowledge of the field and I'm only attracted to it because of the recent rise of LLMs. 

I would be open for a masters from India or abroad. 

What are the pros and cons? Should I go for it? If yes then what's the path that you'd suggest if you've done it or someone you know who has done it? What would be some good universities to target? 

Or is it a bad idea?

Masters in AI/ML

I am looking to transition into a tech career, but don't have much experience in the in-demand tech stacks. I am active in open-source development on GitHub ( I've used python quite a bit before). I have a non-CS degree from one of the top colleges in India.

I understand that things are a bit bleak with the recession around the corner, but I'm happy to work on side projects. 

Could anyone help me out?

How to learn edge computing and machine learning? What are good resources for it?

I have recently joined a company and they are expecting me to work on it in 15 days.

Hi guys, just got layedoff day before yesterday. I had joined Increff on 5 June and was layedoff after 2 months due to cost cutting. They had overhired people hoping for growth but their clients left and had runway of 5-6 months. Can you guys help me out here in finding a new job. I was working as an SDE backend. Just graduated from college l, basically a fresher. 🥲

Recently got layedoff

I am an entry level analyst in at Deloitte. Just wondering if these are some signs of a practice not doing great + potential layoffs in a few months/year.

1. Utilization: ~45% last quarter. They originally said that it was a slow start to the year with low CapEx by companies but we still don't look good this quarter now.

There was a small call last night between a few people in this project level meeting and the senior management straight up said "Their is no demand and people are still on bench. We need to reallocate some headcount"

2. Headcount growth - Last 1.5 years ago, every month we had 10-15 people join our practice, This has literally gone down to 1-2 hires to replace people who have left.

3. Resignations: 6-7 people are leaving every month in my practice, which is quite harsh. Someone told me that everyone they used to work with when they joined have already left.

4. AI-pocalypse - I feel most companies think that they can now do AI inhouse and niche projects but higher costs because of MS/PhD folks working on it is something they dont want to go for anymore.

If a layoff is incoming, what would be the best ways to prep?

I see two options:
1. Getting on a boring sad project but long term.
2. Do nothing: I am literally the cheapest resource in the company so they would ideally layoff senior folks first, right??

Product Manager

Hi All, I am working as a sde since 6 months. Recently I saw layoff from paytm. So i am in doubt that after a so many hard work in one day company will do layoff and it may be happens that layoff people didn't get the job. At this time people will totally depressed. I want to ask whether majority of layoff people got the job again or not. Suggest is there any long career in this IT industry.
