Hello fellow data scientists,

I’m new to my role (3 months) and have realized I will mostly be building web applications with very little data analysis and no machine learning. I’m afraid my skills in ML/ statistical learning will leave (which is where I want to be).

What would you do in my position?

Leave .. no point in staying most non phd roles end up this way. I’ve been doing the data game for 5 years and at the 5th year I told my manager I would not be doing anything unrelated to ds . They still asssign me non senses your not alone

Unpopular take for DS background people, but a lot of data scientists are snobby about doing any remotely non-DS projects and tend to take an ivory tower academic viewpoint to everything. Your company needs you to add value today and not at the end of some 6-month ML study, otherwise you will make yourself a layoff target. Perhaps try building ML capabilities into whatever web app you are supposed to be building. After all, ML is becoming more and more of a sub specialty of software development anyway - 100% pure DS roles really aren’t that common. You’ll find the same issue at your next job in all likelihood.

Same here. Building data pipelines. Maybe you could try a consulting firm in AI. I’ve heard that it's pretty easy to be assigned to ML projects right away. Always depend on the firm tho...

Will HSBC consider a 2022 passout in the oncampus round of 2023 batch?
