Hi Fishes

I have been working as a web developer for last 6 yrs but would like to pivot to data science & ML. Hence wanted to get some insights & advise from the people here who are already working in then same field about how to start with it, how will it affect my financial growth, what will work be like.

I am open for self-learning or learn by work, or trainings, workshops but don't think can do degree courses or anything that needs break from my job.

Any help will be appreciated 🙏

PS : this is not because I don't like my current work or that it pays less. Infact I have enjoyed my work untill now and am on a good package as well (~20LPA) which is why I also don't want to take a pay hit. But I would like to expand/diversify my career if it is feasible.

Foreign LLM student here. I plan to take the NY bar exam in February. I’m thinking of taking a bar prep course (most likely Barbri). They offer two options: the “traditional” course (which lasts around 2.5 months) and an extended 6-month course. The difference in price is substantial – 2.5k for the traditional course vs 6k for the extended one. Any thoughts/recommendations on which one I should take? In case it is helpful, I come from a civil law country. Thanks!
