Hi All!
I have a BA degree in History and Literature. I have been working in the NLP stream for Alexa and now at Microsoft. I am interested to move ahead in Machine Learning but I have no tech education background. Im interested in learning programming. Also, am I eligible to get an Azure certification?
If so how do I start?
TIA

How do you suggest I approach them? Do I talk to my manager about it? Or directly approach a senior manager?

I'd probably start by taking some online courses. There's a ton of great content on LinkedIn, Coursera, Udemy, etc.

Personally, I would talk to your manager about your goals and learnings etc to figure out what would be best for your role. I would go with Python maybe based on what you've described, but would be interested in seeing other's opinions

Does where you get your masters degree matter? I’m in an online environmental science masters program at an expensive “name-brand” school, but have colleagues telling me I should transfer to a less expensive program to save $ because no one cares about where your degree is from. Aside from the cost of it, I like my program, and the fact that I’m now connected to an incredible alumni network. And not gonna lie, I like the clout. Thoughts?

I am an associate at a UMM and my employment contract has a 4 month non compete (yes, even for associates) but I am thinking of lateraling. What are the implications of breaking a non compete? I didn’t say anything when I signed because I was desperate for a PE offer but it seems so unfair as I am just a lowly associate. I am not so much worried about getting sued, but about my current employer tanking my reputation if I leave and break the non compete.
