A full-time master's in AI/ML is valuable and can open many doors. However, weigh the cost (in lakhs) against potential salary hikes. Continuous learning and upskilling are crucial.

Software Developer

Those who are teaching it are not abreast with the technology and still teaching the older concepts.

What are your thoughts on masters in AI ML ?- Grapevine

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?

Masters in AI/ML

What do you think about AI/ML courses floating in the market?
eMasters from IIT kanpur, similar from iiitb on upgrad and others.
Love to hear about your views.

Are AI/ML courses just hype

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 :)

Welcome to Moving Abroad's Private Community

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?

Software Engineer

I am currently looking at e-masters programme (ms in ai & ml) by IiIT-h. It's self paced online only with 1-1 mentorship on weekends. Will be part of the alumni and placement (support only). I am considering this because my ug is non technical although I work in tech.
Any suggestions would help too

Are e-masters worth?

Can anyone please help me with the application process and what kind of profile to have to apply for ivy league/ top colleges in US for masters in AI/ML. Also how much work ex should we have ideally? I am a 2023 college graduate. Wanted info on CGPA, LORs research papers

Need some info regarding masters in CS/ML in US

I am looking for part time masters program online. Most likely in AI and robotics.

Objective is to build some live projects and learn things since I miss college days building cool stuff. I lack the discipline to do it on my own.

What are your views on this? And what programs do you recommend if any?

Also feel free to share your stories with part time masters program :)

Online part time technical masters program

Everyday I open youtube/grapevine/teamblind its has keywords AI + Shocked or it will replace our jobs.

My take on why AI might not replace our jobs.

1. Running AI agents or AGI requires significant electric power. If every company starts using it in some way in the future. All the code might be exposed. What if AGI builds its own version and starts selling and shuts down its employer considering its super intelligence.

2. If people dont pay taxes. How will government run? Who will buy the products in the market? Wont people start stealing/hurting others to meet basic needs?

3. Many jobs in todays world use computers in someform. But we only talk about the software engineers. There are non tech people who use computers in their works. Those are pretty much repetitive and can be easily automated. Many are not aware about chatgpt.

On the other end people talk about alternative jobs and the safest job is farming in most of the posts.

1. Cant the rich build humanoid robots to do the same. Can't big corporates buy lands and build vertical farms and run with robots.

2. What big corporates are going to do with the excess money laying us off in the end if all the jobs are taken, as if the people running or owning them are going to live their life eternally. Unless they find a way to upload their existence into a robot.

3. I'm not sure if people posting about AI taking jobs have worked on atleast building basic ML models like linear regression or used MNIST data to detect numbers using neural networks. For most of us AI is a blackbox and we 
do not know about its full potential.

My take on AI
1. AI can aid humans in their tasks or make developers like us to wear multiple hats. Like combination of backend, frontend, mobile, devops, machine learning, cybersecurity. Helpnus better debug.

2. I feel like all these CxO's just blabber to get high funding, spread fear while they chill in their yatch.

Let me know your thoughts on this.

So many posts about AI taking our jobs. My take on it.

2022 graduate here, working as a software engineer.
I feel that software engineering has less to do big in future compared to Ai/ML. Need your thoughts on what are my possibilities and pros cons on choosing different paths.

1. Stick to software engineer, will get promoted in some time and i can utilise some skills developed during this year and past internship. 

For next two paths, i will need to study as I don't know much about Ai/ML. Please suggest resources and way if you thing these could be good.

2. Switch teams in Google to some Ai/ML team.

3. Switch firm to some startup on Ai and can learn more things there. If this, then are companies out there how can will consider my this experience, i would want more pay than what i am earning as of now.


Happy to read all the comments and your pov.

Software Engineer or Ai ML

How long would it take to learn Ai/ML from Scratch for fresher

AI/ML fresher

Hi, I am a backend software engineer, experienced in Java, Postgresql, elastic search and couchbase. I want to upskill myself and learn AI but there is some resistance because I am average in maths and I heard AI is a lot of maths. 

My manager told me that I can't run away from this and I should learn and do specialization in AI because it is the talk of the town.

Guide me on how should I start and a complete plan to learn. I feel I have potential to learn and grow.

How to start career in AI?

A lot of noise around AI taking coding jobs, which i fear might be real. Like not completely but you get my point. So how should one upskill themselves (especially the average folks, top 1/2% will not be affected in any field imo) for the upcoming shift? Like will data analytics/science or maybe ai/ml engineering jobs be on rise ? Should be start upskilling in those fields or any other suggestions? I would really like to know it from someone who has good experience in the industry or someone with good insight. Thanks

Jobs which will be created /not impacted by AI

How important it is to upgrade technical skills for a mid level engineers with 5-8 yoe keeping in mind the AI is on rise. 
3 options: 
1. It’s important to include AI in your skills.
2. No, it won’t impact that much and will fade with time.
3. Better to start slowly with AI and have secondary skills.

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

I was interested in pursuing masters degree without leaving job , obviously because of financial commitments. Already a data analyst, was looking for BITS Pilani WILP program in AI & ML. Can anybody here guide on it? Anyone who has opted the course, can you share your experience?

How is BITS Pilani WILP in AI & ML?

Data analyst

With a lot of things and hype around AI, I am having real FOMO. I want to start learning about AI and planning to do some mini projects involving the latest LLMs and Other AI library. 

Could anyone suggest plan or resources on How do I start my journey in AI and learn generative AI

Learning AI

[Background] 25. M. I'm a mechanical engineer and realized early during college that I'm not cut out for mechanical engineering domain. Switched to analytics domain right after college. 

[Current Experience] 4 YOE in an analytics firm based out of India catering to 2 major Fortune 100 companies. Leading a 10 member analytics team, directly responsible for problem solving, solution design, stake holder management etc. 

[Thoughts] Loved being an IC during early stage of career. Found it interesting to get into the rabbit hole of designing solutions and executing the solutions. 

Off late, really like being a lead and focusing on multiple problems at the same time. Little far for executing the solutions, bu focusing of understanding the porblem and designing solutions and letting the team execute it.

Right now, confused about what I want to do next. 

[Request] Thinking of pursing a MS(DS/ML) or MBA(Analytics) for more exposure. Thoughts or suggestion welcomed.

Suggestion about MS or MBA

I have had a doubt for long time weather data scientist know ai and ml, or is it a completely different role.
