I am leaving corporate after 2 years for a Phd in ML in US. The reason is I just love research. I have worked in the academic for 1.5 years during my undergrad in multiple research labs before joining my current company. Man, I just love the freedom in Academia, and I thoroughly enjoy the entire process of research.  
  
 So if you are like me who have prior experience in academia and loves research, go for it champ!

Just finishing my PhD from top European Uni (MT). I feel like atm there are more jobs/research funding in industry than academia. I am now trying to transition to industry.

Should I go for an MS or PhD in Machine learning from abroad like Germany or Sweden. Which one would be the better option ? keeping in mind that after completion I would have the option to join academia or industry as a research scientist.

MS/PhD in Machine learning

MS/PhD in Machine learning- Grapevine

I'm a fresher working as a Data Analyst. I'm thinking of going to the EU for an Mtech in ML (Computer Vision) in 2025. I'm looking at Sweden, Germany, Norway etc for the same.

My long term goal is to settle down in the same country. I'm aware that job opportunities compared to the US are far less in Europe, but I wanted to know if I should stick to my plan or consider the US for my future plans.

My priorities are living conditions, social security benefits, and salary, in that order.

Thank you so much if you leave any advice below!

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Hi,

I have 2 years of experience in analytics and now considering a career shift to data science.

I am planning to take the GRE this year to pursue a master's degree in data science, either in the US or Europe.

Could you people please advice me on country to choose and the steps I should take to achieve my goal?

Business Analyst

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

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?

what are your suggestions ?

Need suggestions on Moving abroad

I am 22yo and just graduated from a tier 3 college with Btech degree. Currently placed in a startup as a Frontend Engineer CTC 7LPA remote. I am confused should I prepare for masters and do that or should I work hard in FE and switch after 1-2 year for better pay. 
And what one should do? Masters in Cs or MBA , I know both are different but still confused.

Confuses about Masters/Job

Frontend Engineer

I am currently working (2 yoe) at a decent service based startup (CTC 7L) but I feel like I could do much better. This job feels easy (nothing new to learn).

#background
I graduated in electrical from a tire II college, since I fell in ♥️ coding (thanks to robotics club and YouTube) i choose this career, but now looking at all the other profiles I feel i am not getting access to those cheese jobs, kind of those that have high scope to learn and earn. 

So I feel like getting into a top college and getting a masters in CS might help me. 

What do you all think ?

Should I do MS abroad ?

Backend Engineer

I want to pursue a master's degree in the field of data science, but I'm confused about whether to go to Australia or the Netherlands. Which is better?
also tell me some best universities for Data science.

Masters Degree in Data science

Hey fellas, I'm looking to start preparing for admissions for Fall'25 but quite confused where / how to start. A little bit about myself 
I did my undergrad from a foreign University (in Aus) on a scholarship and majored in computer science. Graduated back in 2021 with a gpa of 3.39/4.0 and had been working as a backend/ML engineer since then. Although I mostly work with backend, I've some contributions around ML mostly in Fintech and agritech side.

I'm looking to pursue my master's around ML or AI to develop a niche and get back into industry afterwards (most of the orgs require you to have a master's with extensive work experience, one of the major reason I wish to pursue a postgrad). I have 2.5 yrs of work experience as of now and would be over 3 yrs and 8 months of work experience if I go for fall 25. Apart from this, I have a research paper yet to be published (submitted) around Neuromorphic Computing. 

I am honestly not very sure where to start, although I have a few unis shortlisted and they don't really require GRE scores and I might have an exempt from TOEFL as well so I might just be looking for SOPs and LORs apart from strengthing my profile more(or learning lang if applicable). I would be grateful if you all can help in letting me know how and where to start given the timeline.

How should I start my journey to move to EUR (Ger/Swiss preferably) for MS around ML/AI?

Sorry for the long post!

Hi, I'm in India. I completed my bachelors in biotechnology and am in the first month of masters in genetic engineering. Initially I had no plan to join masters in India, instead I thought of pursuing MS abroad. As I could only apply for programs for September 2024, I thought a gap year would decrease my chances of getting into any program and would not look nice on my resume. As time went by, I panicked and got into genetic engineering masters. This is where I came to know it is a research-oriented program unlike biotechnology and must do a PhD afterwards. I don't even know what the career scope for genetic engineering might be. Now, I'm in a dilemma that I should continue my masters for two years and do a PhD abroad or do any internship for a year and get into masters in biotechnology abroad (specifically US) for September 2024 and directly go for an industry?! Any suggestions are welcome!

Confused about MS vs PhD

I'm a 28-year-old data scientist with approximately five years of experience, and I'm considering the pursuit of a Master's degree in the USA. My plan involves participating in a pathway program, beginning with three months of coursework at IIT Jaipur, followed by one year of studies at Drexel University in the United States, with a focus on Machine Learning Engineering. However, it's important to mention that Drexel University is currently ranked 98th in the United States. What are your thoughts on whether I should proceed with this plan, considering my age and experience?

Furthermore, I'm curious about your perspective on the expected salary range for someone of my age and experience in the USA, given my current salary of around 25 lakhs per annum (LPA) in India.

Indian Data Scientist’s Dilemma: Master’s in the USA with a 25 LPA Salary?

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

Hey I was wondering if anyone can help me know what skills do I need to learn if I need to make my career in Machine Learning. I'll tell you my current situation. I know the theory part of ML. I have written a research paper on Semi Supervised Learning with a professor in my college.(I am writing another one). So academically my professor is urging me to continue doing research somewhere for another 3 years of my bachelor's degree and then apply to any company after my PhD. but I don't think I want to. So I am seeing this AI developer roles on LinkedIn but they are looking for developers with a basic knowledge of ML and AI. Where should I apply and for what roles?

I need help finding an intership.

Hello All, 

I am a backend engineer with over 6 years of experience and I have been trying to apply to jobs in Germany. I'm using LinkedIn, arbeitnow and a couple of other websites. 

Is there a whatsapp or discord group for people who are serious about applying to Germany ? If so it would be helpful for people to join and discuss the entire process

Applying to Germany

Hi everyone, I’m planning to goto USA for higher studies! But I’m not sure which course to take! I’ve done my BE in Information science and currently working as a software developer in a startup (spring boot) please suggest me the course which gives me good job opportunity in US! I can’t decide because I don’t know these factors and I’m not that considerate on passion. I’m kind of adaptive!

MS in Computer Science or Data science?

Hi all, we all know how messed up the market is right now. I currently have a work experience of 1.6 years,and I am thinking if I should go for a masters in CS abroad or not. Considering the market scenario abroad I am a bit afraid to take the big leap, but right now I can see the scenario is not much better in India as well, facing difficulty in switching also. I would like to concentrate on one line - masters or job switch. Please guide me.

Need Guidance

I always wanted to work abroad hence I am thinking to pursue MS either from USA or Europe. Should I do MS now given the current market scenario?

Is it worth it to do MS from abroad ?

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)

Confused if i should go for MS CS from USA or stay in India, how would you decide?

I have almost 5 years of experience as a software engineer in India.

Its been a long time now, that i am confused if i should go to US for MS considering i will have to take up a loan of 50 lakhs.

Also the layoffs are here, probably scenario will be good once the MS is over (May ‘24) , and i might be able to repay the loan.

It seems like a huge step and a risky one.

My motivation for US are
1. Foreign Exposure and Experience
2. Bank Balance for better retirement in India
As IT is uncertain and we never know what might happen in future.

What are your thoughts on this, what factors should i consider?
