For a data scientist who is earning 24lpa, and is equipped with decent skills in ML, DL & LLMs and has the ability to build systems end to end including production. What skills should one focus on to achieve a salary of 50 - 70 lpa in the next 3 years ?
If you already have those skills you should be earning 40L as of today.
Can you build stuff from scratch and do end to end integration?
Will you be able to implement research paper?
Can you come up with the project on your own which can create enterprise value?
Fine tuning : Yes
Building models from scratch with custom loss functions : No
End to end integration : Yes
Implement research paper : No
DS I feel are getting less relevant these days. Gpt can do basic Analytics work and most older nlp models feel useless now compared to just parsing all that to gpt and getting a better output.
Focus on fundamental, drive project in your current company, deliver projects which either reduces cost or increases revenue, stakeholder management is very important in DS roles, and if time permits try to build ML pipelines end to end.
You are already good at quite few things so feel confident about that
Thanks man. Appreciate your help.
