Hey there!
I am a Masters
Student majoring in Machine Learning. I am in my first semester and I am kind leaning to explore Data Science as well. Could any Professional Data Scientists help me out on getting started? What skills do I focus on? What kind of projects should I have on my portfolio?
I have tried looking this info out in the internet but its all overwhelming. Hoping to get some honest guidance here!

The position is a majority technical role. But of course you need to develop your analytical and communication skills. You don't need to master every skill you see in the internet. Basic knowledge will suffice because the rest you will learn it through experience.

Take data science/analysis courses alongside machine learning - that's a great foundation for a data system developer. Any projects in either of those areas will look great on a resume. Just make sure you put yourself out there and network, reach out early to companies you are interested in interning with or working for.

Be glad to help. You can also post this to referral bowl. It's designated for purposes of helping those who are looking not just for referrals but for a job in general.

Any related projects will do. Reach out to recruiters and start networking as soon as possible. Having a specific role and company in mind will also help you.
