I am planning to shift to Data Analyst/Data scientist role. Right now i work for a project where I'm a software eng & we have to maintain our application on C++ code. It is more like support/dev and unit testing combined. Coding is hardly involved and my hold on DS is weak so not sure if I'll be able to crack technical interviews for C++ dev or anything similar.
So is this a right decision to move from application dev role to Data Science/analyst field? Does software engineer gets paid more?

I have already been in your shoes where I was trying to move from Core Java Development to Data Science but it didn't work out. It's possible, but yes it requires lot of preparation. First question which you need to ask yourself how good and interested you are in learning mathematics topics such as statistics, probability, permutation combination, calculus etc because these topics are the foundation for any ML algorithm starting from regression to neural networks. Ideally, if you are a complete beginner for data science then starting with some online courses might help. All the best!!!

I work at an manufacturing company as a technician. My job title is a technician but they use me as an engineer as-well. There are three techs overall in the company. My boss who hired me understands what my degree is in so he uses me to design parts and write reports. The plant manager doesn’t know my skills so anytime I’m in the office working he calls me to the floor to do something the other techs can do. Should I have a talk with the boss about it? (I ran out of characters)
