You have to clear a lot of things 
 1. There is no secure future or present anywhere 
 2. Chat gpt /A.I will not take any software job in next 5 years at least. Leave this topic for 2028. Let intelligent people handle this. @AGIComing will add more  
 3. You are a heavy procrastinator. Get started. Software skills are transferable SWE and DS both use python. Start with something.

How do you know?, I am a heavy procrastinator

Hello guys.
I am really confused with both of these topics about which one to choose , I am changing my career domine , currently working as automation engineer, having a thought to shift data scientist role but due to Chat gpt and other AI tools I feel data science role might not available for future . Need your help , which field I should choose for secure future.

software engineering vs data science.

software engineering vs data science.- Grapevine

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

Both pro-cons i'm seeing currently is:

Data science:
~ future technology
~ more interesting & diverse work 
Downside: so much competition as every college now opening new AI ML dept
& Because of low entry criteria anyone can jump to this field little interest or few online courses

Data Engineer:
~ Entry point is bit tough as Specific technology knowledge req which is generally not being taught in colleges,
Hence less competition 
Downside: Identical & boring tasks mostly

Which seems to win in near future in terms of pay or job security?
Any suggestions as welcome!

After dating data Engineering & data scientist field 1-1 year, which should I choose as permanent?

Data engineer

I would like to know from real world data scientists if they think, data science is better than Data engineering. I am a data engineer with 2.6 YOE. I want to grow. But should i focus more on data engineering or should i focus on data science for my career growth. I need some valuable suggestions.

Data engineering vs Data science

Data Analyst

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 roadmaps.
I like engineering and coding in whole and want to know more. So do I switch to some SDE role or is there are more paths after Data analytics? I know ML, DL and NLP but not sure will it be a great choice to make career primarily in Data science.
So, I am little confused. Please give all good advices.

Thanks
A curious Engineer

What's after Data Analyst post?

What after Data analytics?

Considering the automation threat from AI analytics roles might get fewer and salaries are not that much high in analytics. What are your views on this? Do you think analytics will be the most impacted field because of AI?

If anyone had changed from analytics to de/ds, how difficult to change?

Is it better to switch from analytics to data engineer/data science?

Business Analyst

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?

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 !?

I’m confused what is the best in recents time AI engineer job or data scientist jobs

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I have 2.5 years of experience on CCM technologies(primarily OpenText Exstream) but am not satisfied with it as it's not open source, I am not able to learn it from anywhere on the internet in free hours or while on bench and the project work is the same repetitive type of work.

So thinking of switching in the DevOps or Data analytics domain. But not able to fix which one to choose.
Please guide me which has good career growth in future and how to proceed.
Any advice is welcome 
Thank you in advance ☺️

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 :)

Data Scientist

Hey folks , i am in my 2nd year btech ( CS ) mumbai , and i am confused between data engineering and backend engineering, i love python , know linux and basic knowledge of cloud . What should i choose and what should my further path.

Data engineer or backend engineer

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.

Software dev or data science

I need a bit guidance for how to prepare so that I can switch.

There are lots of topics in DE and I'm not sure on which topics should I focus on more.

Any Data Engineer or Data scientist here?

Hi, to give a little background, I started working as a data scientist in a quite well paying startup straight out of college. (CS grad from a tier-2 engineering college, NIT/IIIT)
But due to having more interest in software engineering, I picked up mostly engineering work (I've mostly worked using Java, springboot, python, flask, fastAPI etc). But now after 1.5 years of experience i want to switch to swe roles, my query is, will my current role i.e. 'data scientist' be a road blocker, even if I've many engineering works to mention in my resume? 

And is there a way to resolve this, without switching roles internally, as the team said it takes 6-12 months to do this due to company policy, and i really don't wanna be stuck here for that amount of time anymore.

Switching to software engineering roles from data science

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

Which is a better field, data analyst or data engineer in terms of growth and salary.

Data analyst v/s data engineer

So I am currently working on mainly Python and SQL. I was thinking of upskilling but I am confused whether I should go full stack role maybe learn react or should I go data engineer role and learn big data. I have worked with ETL software’s such as snowflake and Databricks.

I want to switch job but looks like no one is hiring for someone who only knows python and sql.(though major work is on sql only ) 
Any suggestions

What should I do?

Hey guys can u please share your opinion on these topics which one is better which will be in demand in future etc etc

Cs AI OR DATA SCIENCE

What's the scope of Data Engineering? Is this field affected because of AI?

Skillset : SQL, PowerBI, Python, Advance Excel, ML, Very basic Azure (Just started learning)
1.5 yrs of experience in TCS in PLSQL DB Team

I am confused as to which field should I venture into,

Big data or data engineering or cloud architect?

I like coding but not way too much.  (7 on a scale of 1 -10)
I love communicating and organising/managing stuff(9 on a scale of 10)


I love working with data but I dont want to be a generalist/data analyst.

I would like to make good money
