Has someone started their journey to AI?I recently completed the Internal AI trainings at the Big D and planning to do AI for Everyone by Andrew Ng on Coursera. The next step is Deep Learning Specialization on Coursera. Thoughts?

Would recommend to get the fundamentals strong first rather than going by AI fad. Just you calling it as AI gives me a strong indication of that.

No you’re right I’m just describing how some people in my firm are now putting that skill in their profile after taking modules and using those tools

My advice is that before you start going down the ML rabbithole.. brush up on your developer toolkit (writing efficient code, git, unit tests, functional tests)

I can only speak for my big 4 exp.. but our analytics projects are often cloud centric (Azure) and being comfortable with the various tools & ML pipleine components (ie. serverless functions, log analytics workspace) makes a massive difference. Easy to call in a senior DS to help with the model - but bad code/infrastructure will sink you on a project (& force lots of late nights)

I am in my last round of an interview process and will meet the entire team spending a few hours with them in the office. Business professional & resume copies ...what else? It's my first in the US, so a bit nervous, but in general confident and relaxed. 😎
What should I pay special attention to? Any ideas what questions I should prepare and what would they appreciate from my side?

Has anyone been in this situation or was part of the team? Pls share your insights with me!TY

what do you talk about in your 1:1s?

I got lucky and now have leadership that seems to care about my career growth, but I'm 1. a little overwhelmed taking over a new role from someone who went on parental leave earlier than expected and 2. not used to thinking outside my day to day job, happy to keep my head down and just produce good work.

most of what I bring up in these meetings are logistical or prioritization concerns but I feel like my manager is expecting a lot more from me.
