Hey guys, so I have been interning at a company for the past 9 months. They have offered me a ppo and I will most likely accept it. But my interest lies in the ML field or some data fields such as data engineering. Can anyone advice me how do I go about it? Like should go for masters(my undergrad degree is not CS or some pheonix branch). Should I learn on my own and keep giving interview. Or should I take some experience in sde and then switch? Thanks in advanced
Keep learning Software engineering. Learn ML on the side.
Good ML engineers and researchers are also great software engineers in my experience.
Thanks a lot for the advice
@DullThesis68
Are you an ML Engineer?
Also what is the median pay for entry level ml roles and where does the average lie after some experience?
Keep applying ,build data projects and it's skills Also r u from bits?
Yeah I am from BITS, what gave it away?
And thanks for the advice.🙂
Salary in core ML/DS fields like MLE, DS, Deep Learning Engineer etc is much lower than that of Software Engineering.
Except Software Engineer in Data, Cloud or Analytics. It's a new field where both DSA, ML/DS/NLP based on company, data analysis knowledge is required. Salary equivalent to SDE profiles
Rubbish! Might be true for service based companies. What's your source for such generalization? https://www.levels.fyi/t/data-scientist/locations/india?yoeChoice=senior&offset=60
If you are working in that field, than you have the real life experience where no such source works.
If we take your example also, Entry level SDE roles for faang also are above INR 40 lakhs and above. And for a Data scientist, MLE etc?
Around INR 15-25 lakhs and even less than that in major companies.
I am taking about entry level positions, Post that TC for both Software Engineering and Data science, MLE is same!
(As this post is about entry levels positions)
I don't think ml/data roles are worth it unless you are working in research or core ml.
I have less interest in SWE as compared to ML. So for me thats why I think of switching.
If they have offered you software engineer then please continue. In parallel learn ML in your free time. Understanding core software development concepts can late bring you an advantage while doing ML.
I am a fresher working as a Data analyst in a growing startup. My current role doesn't include much of coding just python and SQL and sometimes little bit ML work. Currently handling 2 projects, and some of PM work to define some roadmap...

Hey everyone , I am currently working in a consulting company with most work being in sql in snowflake and databricks and python. I wanna switch to sde or data engineer role. Does anyone have experience how can I switch. It seems like an...
I am and sde. Earning less as I have to have wfh. 15-20lpa, currently in lead with about 6+ yoe. Plus some on the side.
I am interested in data science. I have been studying.
But how do I make the switch.
Will my sde exp be counted? ...
