How did you manage to switch
Chief
That's really Motivational, Thanks for sharing..
As many people asked about the resources I used, here’s the honest answer.
I tried the usual route first. YouTube videos, paid courses, roadmaps, blogs. None of it really stuck for me. I would start motivated, get bored after a few days, and then stop.
What changed for me was building instead of just consuming content. I picked projects I actually cared about and started working on them without waiting to feel ready. Things like RAG systems, multi-agent tools integrated with Azure DevOps, and MCP-based applications.
At first I got stuck a lot. But instead of trying to study everything upfront, I only learned what I needed to solve the problem in front of me. That worked way better for me.
I wasn’t following any full course at that point. Whenever I got stuck, I used ChatGPT, official docs, GitHub repos, and a few YouTube channels for the basics and terminology like Andrej Karpathy, DeepLearning.AI, freeCodeCamp, and StatQuest. Which keeps my interst in AI field.
Most of my learning came from building, breaking things, fixing them, and repeating that cycle.
So my advice is simple: pick a project, start building, and let the project tell you what to learn next. Roadmaps are fine, but they are useless if they never turn into actual work.
Great... I following the same format but surrounding me nobody followed this process so I got doubt. Now you gave great motivation... Thanks.
The current offer I'm holding is from a Tier 1 service-based MNC. It's a remote work.
U got remote opp from naukri ?? Can u share companies name u got offer from ? How u takle 3 months np?
This is very motivating—thanks for sharing your journey!
I’m actively seeking a Data Analyst role (fresher) and open to opportunities. Would be grateful for any referrals or guidance.
Did you took any course for learning? If yes can you help me with the link?

Hi Brother,
Your switch is very much inspiring and Right now I am also in transition phase from .net developer into Gen AI role. I started learning AI last year but I am missing something. And I have 9 yoe and I got Azure AI Engineer associate certificate and I need your advise on switching. Can we have a separate chat?
Krishna bro - let me also know. .NET Sitecore dev - missing out on headless NextJS fun and now probably have to turn towards AI chase.
Congratulations bro, how many years of exp do you had on GenAI while interviewing.
Honestly just 1.5 yoe but I Iied about it that I have 3+ exp.
Thats one hell of a switch,woow so happy for you.
Hi, I recently joined as an Azure DevOps Engineer and am currently earning ₹4.2 LPA. I would like some guidance on how to increase my salary in the future. Should I continue building my career in DevOps and Cloud, or would switching to a different domain offer better growth opportunities and compensation? I would appreciate your advice on the best career path to achieve a higher salary.
DevOps is really good. just learn end to end not just CI CD.
Great help us with the resources unhave used for learning GenAi

Hey

I would be very happy if you guide me in this transition.
Looking forword to connect with you
Bro I am attending interviews for gen ai my problem is also.eith the salary part and every one is asking for scenario based answers so initially we have to ask for 14 to 15 lpa I am also 5lpa and less. Do share your experience and help me how to crack.
Congratulations 🎉
How much serious rejections you have to face before finally getting a roles as GenAi engineer
Pro
Three rejections before I got my first offer.
The first rejection was a reality check. I failed the coding round, and even when I knew the answer, my explanations lacked structure. It made me realize that interviews are not just about solving problems, but also about communicating your thinking clearly.
The second rejection exposed gaps in my knowledge. I was focused heavily on Agentic AI, but struggled with questions around RAG, tools, cloud services, and broader AI engineering concepts. It showed me that depth in one area isn't enough.
The third one hurt the most. I cleared the first round and was excited about moving forward. The second round taught me a lot about what hiring managers actually look for beyond technical skills. Then I got ghosted. No feedback, no update.
After that, it wasn't about learning some secret interview formula. I simply got better at interviews. I understood what interviewers were looking for, answered with more clarity, and became more confident in explaining my experience and decisions.
When the next opportunity came, I was ready. During the interview, I was able to tackle challenges confidently, explain my approach clearly, and showcase what I could build. The interviewer was impressed, and I received the offer with the compensation I had asked for.
Your journey may be different from mine, but real skills give you confidence. When you know your build, you don't have to memorize answers. You just have to tell your story.
Did you get any hands on in current company or you were tester and learnt everything from the path you shared and then switched.
Did manual tester experience was not an issue for you for application getting selected
I am also a manual tester trying to switch in data analytics.. i do have hands on experience but whenever i get call they say like we dont need a person with manual testing background need one with pure data analyst experience
Guide me pls

Yes, I have hands-on experience and have worked directly with clients to deliver products.
Regarding your experience and interviews, you don't need to bring up the Manual Tester part unless you're specifically asked about it. Most interviewers focus on your relevant experience and current skill set.
You can simply say that you started in Data Analytics (or whichever role aligns best with your experience), gradually moved into other roles within the same organization, and kept upskilling along the way.
Keep the focus on the role you're targeting, the projects you've worked on, and the value you've delivered. Your past is just context. Your relevant experience is what matters most.
Congratulations!!! You are an inspiration for many of us.

Thank you so much. I just hope everyone out there grinding and trying their absolute best gets the same wins and more. They deserve it!
