I am having 3 Years and 3 month of experience.

I have worked on majorly in R (migrate code and work on some pipelines) and Python(working to generate excel reports with data as required), also generate emails for it.

I want to switch now, but do not know with this much skillset will i get any switch.

What should i do to switch as a Data Scientist? I have learned ML previously but have not implemented yet.

What should be the path for preparation as well as job hunt?

From your job description, currently, your role is more suited for a Py developer than a data scientist. If you do want to switch to a DS role, it's better to start looking for relevant roles in your current org as it'd be comparatively easier than convincing other orgs of your relevant DS skills with no prior experience (correct me if I'm wrong on the relevant work exp.)

If you want to acquire DS skills, I'd suggest start with the Analyst certification programs from Google and other available data science courses. You can also take up projects from Kaggle and that should help with hands on experience.

However, it's important to understand the working principle of the algorithms and stats as that'd eventually help you become a better DS down the line and a proper interviewer can always judge those skills if you don't have relevant work exp. Apologies if this was too preachy.

It is not preachy thanks🙂
