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?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I am a 2nd year engineering student about to enter my third year, and I am still unsure of which skill to focus on to secure a job. I have a good grasp of DSA and was considering starting web development, but I am concerned about the high competition in that field. Could anyone suggest any emerging skills that are expected to be in high demand in the future ?

What skill should I start working on?

my_qualification: B.Tech IT from tier-3 college. 70%
I am 24 years old. I graduated in 2021 and had total 13 backlogs during UG and it took me 5 years to complete my degree. I am unemployed since my graduation and have been wasting my time on learning random things or multiple technologies at a same time. 2 months ago I decided to go to Canada for masters and my family supported me, my friend suggested me MS Data Science because he is Data Scientist in Canada. So, I gave IELTS in March and scored 7 band. Recently I had a talk with an Agency named Canam. And they suggested me to get Experience Letter + offer letter + LOR from employer + last 6 months payslip also Backlog Certificate from college but I don't have any of these things. What should I do in this situation? How should I move forward? How can I get my life on track? I'm just confused and not sure what should I do.

What do I need to do for getting a data science job, I am in 3rd year from IIT Roorkee,EE?

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

Software Developer

If I am proficient in Python, R, SQL, Postgresql, Numpy,Pandas, Matplotlib, PowerBI, Seaborn, Azure, Hadoop - 
and have 4 good projects, 1 on data analysis and 2 on machine learning -
with an ongoing research paper with my faculty,
does it still mean I won't bag a job that's more than 12lpa+ ?

Is learning only Data Analytics and Data Science techstack a stupid decision for an Indian second year BTech student?

I’m a student of BE from a affiliated college under Mumbai university, I’m from Computer Background but for coding is not easy to understand, frame , but I want to work in tech field I chose these two coz it requires only python as a main language, and what jobs are high in demand in recent markets pls can you help me !?

Career Transition from non-tech to tech

Welcome to Moving Abroad's Private Community

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?

Software Engineer

Hey people of Grapevine,

I have an MBA in finance and I'm currently working as a QA data analyst at Wells Fargo.
I have a previous 1 year 3 months workex as an Android developer in a startup company (I'm a CS undergrad).

The current role I'm working in requires coding in python to automate Excel files we get to check certain data standards for compliance and validate Excel files based on some standards. Mostly even manual validation of excel files. 

I want to switch my job to work in good ML projects with finance as my domain, for this I have made a strategy:
1. Get a FRM level 1 certification (for the CV to get shortlisted)
2. Learn ML on Kaggle and solve problem sets as a way to prepare for the interviews of ML roles.
3. I'm considering to get an FDP certification as well. (https://fdpinstitute.org/Curriculum-Overview)

My concerns now are:
1. Is the above a valid startegy to crack a fin ML role? (please suggest if anything better)
2. Is FDP a good certification (I know it's not much heard of, but the curriculum is good)
3. What kind of companies and roles can I apply for if add these CV points and if I can get skilled in the above? 

Please do give me your inputs. Any kind of suggestions are appreciated.

Strategy to convert an ML role

Hi All,

I have 6 YOE. Initial 2.5 years I worked as Backend developer in Python, Django, AWS and Little bit JS.
After that all of my experience is in Data Engineering mostly in GCP (have few certifications as well.)
Currently I am working at Walmart.

Most of the work I do in Data side is adhoc and projects are also not upto the expectations lot of manual work is also there. I am not really enjoying my career as data engineer. Pay is good.

I am thinking to move back to Software Engineering, 
1. is it a good idea for long term? 
2. What skill should I focus on if I have to move back? 
3. Is it just the projects that I am working on making data engineer look less interesting to work ?

Data Engineering to SWE

Currently in my 7th semester of engineering ( information technology). I'm really interested in starting a career in data science and could use some advice.I have a basic understanding of Python and pandas, some machine learning concepts, and we've covered basic SQL in our academic syllabus. I wanted to ask for guidance on how to begin my journey in data science. What's the scope of this field? Is it future-proof and not easily replaceable by other technologies?We don't have on-campus placements for data science roles, so I'm taking a risk by pursuing off-campus opportunities. What should my roadmap look like to land a fresher job with a package of 12 LPA or more? Are there specific resources like courses, books, or websites you would recommend to build my skills?

Future of Data science

Learning skills on Udemy, linkedIn & Google Data Analytics Certifications will these matter much for getting a high paying job as Data Analyst / we ca. Show case our projects on which J have been worked on such as Dashboards created using Tableau/POWER Bi & some key skills to show case SQL,Python Knowledge also. 

Working as a developer in TCS from last 3 years and still with a package of 4LPA want to switch my career to Data Scientist. 

Need suggestions on the same. 
Will appreciate

Thank you

Want to work as a Data Analyst

Should I go to Canada for Masters in Data Science? If yes, how?

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

Hi,
I am a software engineer with 12 years of experience. 
I need some suggestions.
1: Is it too late now to learn Data Science and pursue a career in it?
2: If I want to learn the necessary concepts of ML what path I should follow?
3: I find the maths behind the ML models a bit confusing can anyone please suggest any good resource for that?

Need help to Data Science path

Talking to my nephew nowadays seems like the AI bug has gotten to him. Even going back during the early parts of my own career and even undergrad, ML and stats was still a fledgling field. Most of the smart folks went into SDE roles at top tech.

I still remember that even back then, hiring for roles like these were extremely theoretical. You would test even experienced candidates with undergrad topics which was slightly outdated tbh because most of the functions were abstracted away and it is obvious that you would not remember the matrix approach to finding weights for a simple linear regression model.

Has this changed now? Because I don't think interviews like that actually evaluate the accumulated wisdom that experienced professionals bring to the table.

I mean it is generally a waste of time for anyone to brush up manual derivations or remember SQL niche intricacies. Usually it is better to test for the 80% knowledge that is actually useful on a day to day basis. I mean if the main things that companies test in experienced candidates is something that can be rote-memorized from a book then they are not testing the right things no?

What do you all think? Just wondering about this for some time now especially considering the hype around AI?
