Switching from software development to data science is like swapping a cricket bat for a hockey stick. Both require skill, but they're different games. If you're passionate about data and statistics, go for it. Start with basics like Python, R, and statistics. Online platforms like Coursera and edX are good places to start. But remember, it's not just about changing tools, it's about changing your entire mindset. If you're comfortable with Spring Boot, I'd say stick to it and master it. The grass isn't always greener on the other side.

But what about the situation after gen AI comes into play on scale. Which jobs will be preferred in long term

Data Science Interviews

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

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I am a data engineer with 2 years experience in python, SQL, AWS, spark stack. I am looking for a switch and my priority is to get into startup as I get to learn a lot, atleast that's what I believe.
I am not sure though how to get there. I am applying on naukri and LinkedIn, and I am unable to find startups to apply to. I can only see midsize businesses or big corporations. I don't know anyone who works for a startup, and don't know how to network with those folks specifically. It will be great if you people can provide guidance for networking and searching job in startup

Systems Engineer

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

Hi guys, I am currently working in a SAAS startup as a backend Engineer. Tech stack: MERN, AWS, little bit of GenAI now.

I know most big companies use Java springboot for their backend, so I'm thinking to learn it is I want to switch later. Or should I go for golang as it's becoming very hot in recent times. Or should I continue with NodeJS? Let me know your suggestion.

I have worked on little front end development as well.

Java springboot or Golang for Node devs

I am unemployed since 1 year,did not do anything for 1 year coz of some reason , earlier I was in QA but now want to get into development. Already 1 year is gone which is big enough career gap and I am panicking. Now I am not able to understand whether I should join any software development course like Crio or shall I join any Data science/ML course. Whatever I have to do it will take 6 months more , but I guess I have no choice. I know basic nodejs and all but no knowledge of Data science however DS will be more in demand in future so that is why I am thinking about that. But I am not sure which one shall I take ?

I just wanted to know from folks that can anyone learn Data science in 6 months good enough to get a job or shall I opt for software development course. Also , if I shall go for data science course , please suggest me some good training institute for it.

Interview for Data Scientist?

Associate Manager

An actual dumb thing I said was at my first Data Science interview at a top tech company here in Bangalore. Interviewer asked me about my projects, and me being unpolished, I said that I had done a regression project. So he asked me how did I measure whether the model was "good".

I said that, "The accuracy of the model was high"

Interviewer responded with, "...You know Regression tasks are measured with MAE/MSE/RMSE and not accuracy, right?"

Lmao. You live and you learn. 🤡
