Which should I prioritize learning deep learning or algorithmic coding? I’ve had recruiters from Google and Pinterest reach out to me for data science roles. I think I want to apply but not sure how I should prepare.

First check if the role is product data science or machining learning engineer. For product DS roles, neither is required. What is required is SQL, Python, stats, a/b testing and product knowledge. Time would be better utilized focusing on these things.

In my experience, deep learning is an emerging area that has the best growth potential. Start with deep learning then when you become more of an expert in this area, algorithmic coding comes a bit more naturally because you’ll have a more holistic view. Just my two cents though. Context, I run ML and advances analytics projects and the best resources at my company are people who know deep learning and how to apply it with AWS and/or Azure resources. Hope I helped a bit!

Perhaps they're a diversity hire. You have to cast a pretty wide net to improve your standing on those numbers, because there just aren't enough to go around.

Following. Also, recs for good but inexpensive resources to learn either of these topics?

Do you mind sharing the emails of these recruiters over a DM?

Hi Fishes, Have a query. My spouse is working in the electrical and electronics field for the last 15years, in various GCC countries. Now he wishes to come back to India and wants to join some company here. But seems like similar opportunities are very less, say close to 3-4%. What is your opinion if he takes a DevOps course and do a career change ? What will be the % of getting interviews ? Even if he gets selected, how much will he get?
Please reply.

Coming to the realization that consulting is not for me (tech person) feeling angry that salaries at D will never be on pair with FANG and that leadership is not tech focused. For example you could be a soul contributor at fang making 240k and people at Deloitte wait 10+ years to earn that as Senior Managers because they need to climb the corporate ladder. It seems super clear cut to me now, if you want to make money in tech don’t join consulting firms. Am I wrong?
