Hi Fishes, How difficult is to become a data scientist for a person with non technical background?

Very much. Data science is now no more restricted into just model building. It has now become more of ML engineer role which needs knowledge of great programming skills for data cleaning, processing etc. Now DS also needs knowledge of devops and cloud platforms etc. for deployment. If you have more than 7+ yrs of non-IT, non coding exp do not switch into DS.

Agreed.

A Math/Statistics background will be more beneficial than IT. Python is a very easy language to learn.

Let me specify more details. I have done python course, have good knowledge of statistics (PCA, Clustering, linear regression, logistics regression and random forest ) . Also I have used AWS EC2 but from user point of view. Am i good to start searching for data science job or still need to prepare ?

Having tough time deciding between IB & Consulting. My thought process: I have a "better" background for IB (TAS/valuation) and with tech layoffs, this might push more potential would-be tech applications to pursue consulting (there by increased competition)? Additionally, you can do IB intern and full time consulting but not vice versa. I prefer consulting, but IB seems like the "safer" option? And if consulting does get hit hard, I would hopefully have a full time IB offer via internship.

Hi guys, I have got one full time job for 14LPA from 10.5LPA in Coforge for BA role.

I was interested to go CA but scared in terms of job security, economic slowdown and a big change. Is it worth going to CA on contract basis job declining the full time opportunity in India.

Do I irreversibly shoot my career by joining and immediately going on LoA? I obviously haven’t mentioned it in the interview process. Or will this be forgotten a couple years in?

So, i put in my resignation and my manager calls me up.

I have my thoughts to it, but do you also feel that I am leaving when it's convinient for me?!
