For Data science I would say opt for degree course like upgrad I know it cost a bit but it will pay u later

I tried switching at similar experience.
Narrowly missed few opportunities.

At our experience companies expect deep experience and hence i was not selected even if performed well in technical interview.

So i gave up my DS dream and continued with existing skill set. Moved to leadership role and feel i can make more impact with my existing skillset

You can learn everything for free on youtube and Google you'll find the contents. If you're good with java you can go ahead with DS+java.

Great thanks!!!
Any pointers on where can i get real life project experience?

Encouraging.. keep it up with your leaning. Keep posting your leaning and new job. It will encourage me and others as well.

I would suggest since you have 14yr exp in Java and oracle then prepare your profile as a java architect expert and additonally add cloud and ML/data science to it.Then it will be a killer combination. Once you get a job with this skillset then you can think of DS/ML as your major. If now you try to switch to DS/ML as major it will be difficult nut to crack and after some failure you will drop that plan.If your exp would have been within 3yrs exp i would have suggested to directly switch.

If your logic is sound and you know programming well, then you should not hesitate to start your career in DS/ML.

The market is unsaturated. You can also look for the MOOC such as MIT short online course or Udacity AI courses.

You can start with Mr. Denis Rothman book on Artificial Intelligence by Example which will teach AI from scratch.

You have enough experience to crack the interview. If you are on LinkedIn, please follow Denis Rothman.

All the best to your learning journey.

I also feel a bit stagnant in my job but the job security has kept me put. Would love to hear if leaving a comfortable job for more money is always worth it.

It's sad to see people with 2-3 years of experience getting paid more than you when u have double the experience. 😄 Best part is they are still complaining of getting less. Well I guess you should never settle. New gen is giving a hard time to the experienced folks. I think this is the high time to upgrade your skills. Come out of your comfort zone and start looking for new opportunities. I think this is the best time to switch if u haven't already in quite some time.
