Hi everyone!

I'm a data scientist. I'm bored of the work that I do at my work place. So want to work on some side projects particularly in machine learning. I have tried kaggle but for some reason don't find it motivating enough. 

So would like to hear from fellow engineers/data scientists how do you guys do this?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

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 :)

AMA 🎙️: Hi, I am diffusedbandit, Senior ML Engineer at an Indian Unicorn

Hey everyone, 
As the title suggests, I'm looking for resources to learn ML/AI just for the sake of learning, and potentially doing projects of my own with the knowledge I learn. 

I'd appreciate any responses on the same!

Background: Product. I try and learn about engineering stuff regularly. :)

Learning ML/AI for the sake of learning

Product Owner

I am a new graduate from tier 1 college who feels stuck working in Data Science team of a Finance Company. I want to get out within an year and hopefully join a proper Machine Learning related role. 

What are some companies (like Adobe) that offer good work in advanced ML topics, hire BTechs and pay well?

What are some companies that offer good compensation for interesting Machine Learning related work?

Hi all Analytics folks,

I need your help, suggestion and whatever you can in python project in data analytics.
I have a couple of doubts in it.

I'm a data analyst having 2 year of experience while i know python but never worked in it. I used SAS and SQL. I'm giving interviews since couple of months and I'm realizing interviewers aren't so happy from the project i did in my company, it's sort of reconciliation ane validation.

1. Now I want to build some portfolio project in python specifically in data analytics(excluding any ML algorithms) but unable to find any. I'm searching projects in marketing customer segmentation and risk analytics but i found everyone is using ML in these projects.

Can't it be done without using ML or I'll have to use ML algos and core stats in building portfolio project.

2. What you guys do in your day to day work in python. Ratio of your work in python, sql, excel and other tech stacks. Excluding ML coz I'm not focusing on it for now.

Note: pls help your buddy 🙏🙏

Need your suggestions in Data Analytics project in python 🙏🙏

Data Analyst

Hi all, I am a 32 year old working in fintech with around 6 years experience. I have been with my current company for more than 3 years as a PM and not getting the kind of growth/perks/learning I was expecting in last one year after our acquisition. Also, few more things because of which I am looking to move out of my current role:

1. Uncertainty in my career growth (whether I will be made SPM here due to lack of projects)
2. Salary, top concern as I am looking to get married, get a home loan to buy a property and pay off my education loan taken for MBA. With Current salary, I have savings but not enough to prepare for future.
3. Bored of my industry. I have been working in the same industry for last 6 years where there is not much innovation. I want to move to more exciting spaces such as AI for which I am doing machine learning courses. 

So, looking for any referrals for the SPM role. Mostly, where my career can be stable on a longer term (not looking for startups as can’t take too much risk/paycut at the moment)

Hey everyone I am currently in 4th year looking for jobs or internships. I am really interested in AIML and have made a couple of projects in ML but I do wanna make projects that are relevant to the real word and can give a bit of experience and look good on my resume and hence increase my chances of getting a job. Sny suggestions as to what all projects I can make in AIML.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Looking for people building or planning to build cool stuff in these fields. I have good technical understanding of these topics and would love to apply them to build unique projects. Looking for people to collaborate with and discuss ideas.

Looking to collaborate and build interesting projects in ML, AI or 3D Graphics

I am to move into an ML platform engineering team a few months down the line.  Most job opportunities for an ML platform engineer mentions strong knowledge of kubernetes, Kubeflow/ML flow, API design and deployment along with coding language(usually Java, python or Go). 
Are there any must read resources which could help me while upskilling for this role? I already have access to O'Reilly and have read and practiced most of the exercises on Kubernetes.

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Engineering grad. Transitioned into marketing right out of college. ~2 years of experience. 

Started out on a shit pay, currently underpaid but getting good exposure and learning a lot. 

This was a conscious decision as I am focused on learning, growth and personal development. 

Feedback is, I have made massive professional progress in the last 1.5 years and the company too (at my request) is giving me more agency to explore and diversify my skill set.  

This means; mainly more responsibilities, a few operations related decisions & tasks and a few sales calls and client presentations.  

I work at a very small startup and I feel, despite having the opportunity to learn here, the environment or mostly the pay is too shit/low. 

I am already a star employee here and I feel it would be a good time to switch, to be amongst a group wherein I can get more challenges and opportunities. Of course, a higher pay would be wonderful as well. 

While, job switching is an option, I am also thinking about doing an MBA. 

I feel if I can build upon this momentum and get into a good college - it would negate years of grind that I would have to put (in the current scenario). 

I really would like you good people to analyse my situation and help me out, please.

TIA.

Work. Transition. Study?

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Hey guys, 

I'm a recent engineering graduate from a Tier-1 University with decent skills and cgpa. 

As I graduated, I got placed in a MNC as a consultant. But I haven't heard any updates from them yet. Worried about my future, I've started applying to companies for internships and jobs too.

But not only am I not getting selected, I'm not getting any kind of updates from these companies too. Not even as much as a rejection mail. I've recently hit three digits in the number of applications and it's worrying me to see no responses. 

So this is my humble request to the community to help me find a job. I'm a skilled data analyst with proficiency in SQL, Excel, Power BI and Python. I also did many projects on data science and machine learning but my primary interest lies in analytics. 

Even anything as small as a suggestion/tip on what to do or how to proceed would be helpful !!!

Thanks in advance.

Frustration on a daily basis

I am at Microsoft and the work has become monotonous with minimal learning. I am thinking of doing a side project to sharpen my skills and then switch company. How to get started with a side project? Any ideas?

Side projects

Software Developer

I recently started working as a Data Analyst after my undergraduate in Engineering. My work concerns mostly building, testing and tracking ML models for Finance Industry (usually classic ML and not Deep Learning). 

I wanted to hear from people who have been in this field for some time. How does one grow themselves in this field of work. Had a few specific questions but would love to hear if you have anything more to tell.

1. Where are the high paying and interesting jobs? Big Banks, Software MNCs, or Startups? Which of these should I target to reach to get interesting (preferably advanced ML) work and pay?
2. Is learning new concepts and building personal projects a good way to learn and demonstrate my abilities or is there a better way to develop and present my skills?
3. Is an MS from foreign universities extremely important for good growth in career?
4. Should I try switching to SDE role? (I don't have big preference for either SDE or ML, I just happened to land a ML job)

Growing in Data Science and ML field

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?

I am a senior Data engineer(9YOE) and have worked on a large scale Data warehousing, Spark, Orchestration(Airflow) and visualization on AWS and Azure. I currently don't have scope for tech stack improvement in my current org and would like to learn and implement my personal projects. So far, I have been advised to learn golang and kubernetes so that I could deploy ML models in the future or even move into observability space. Any suggestions on what tech stack I should learn? I want to jump to startups in a couple of months and eventually move into a pure software engineering role. 
Already working on leetcode and practicing system design for the same.
