To all lead data scientist and career transitioned ppl .
Hi, I am a postgraduate student (M.tech in electrical engineering).I have a undergraduate student (B.E/b.tech,)teaching experience of 6.5 year before marriage and after marriage I discontinued working due to location issues since 2.5 years. Now I want to restart my career in IT sector since many wfh roles are available . I am aspiring for data analyst roles. Trying to build required skills from YouTube and other available platforms. But since from non-IT background unable to have clarity whether I am on right approach, will I ever get job through this process or I am just wasting time. Pls guide me.
Try to check if there are any openings in similar roles in any of the companies that are related to your domain expertise
Assess yourself and the sitution that you are in
how long can you stick to the goal irrespective of the results
It may take just 3 months or 6 months or more sometimes more than a year
You may not get the desired salary/role/location that you have expected
Compared to software development There is lot of competetion in this area as people from all backgrounds can easily prepare & apply (Excel + SQL)
There are thousands of graduates who are available to work for low pay scale
Talk to people on platforms like Topmate (someone at a Lead,manager level) to understand the challenges/opportunities
