So with 60 days Military PTO, a pretty healthy vacation policy, good benefits overall and from what I am perceiving as a pretty damn good career path, almost like an Army officer career path, is this consulting career actually a pretty good gig? I mean, it seems like you can do just about whatever you want in Accenture, even if “consulting,” isn’t the path you want to go down long term. Are these people wining about comp, hours, and projects, just clueless to what the real world is like, and how much Military hours and “projects” can be? I don’t know I just feel like this is like the civilian equivalent to the Military, and not in a bad way, thoughts?
Bowl Leader
Not valuable, and the one for whatever stack you want to work on.
AWS has most market share and cloud services breadth, GCP has the most in depth deep learning ecosystem, while I think Oracle has coolest practical modeling vision but is behind other providers in market share and services breadth. Would be remiss to not mention Azure, but last I checked a while ago, they're basically AWS with less market share and a nicer GUI. Also worth looking at ML domain specific players (Weights&Biases is probably the best known).
speaking solely about the azure ml studio - I work with a lot of text data - and it is absolutely horrifying . NER gets horrible matches , LDA is always off topic , nothing for NMF , biterm topic models
Get your AWS certs
Anyone would do. Just learn one in depth and you can transfer your skills.
Overall depends on what your organization is using. Get the base certs for a general knowledge of cloud. Consider the ML specialty certs depending on if the service (e.g., AWS SageMaker) is in use at your organization.
My org doesn’t use much cloud besides a bare minimum of Azure, so I would consider certs to make me more marketable outside of my company, not really to be useful at this current role. This is helpful though thank you
