Great job covering some useful aspects! I myself have taken the last step. I have been working as a software developer for over 10 years, than decided to do something a bit different, that is why I decided to start a part-time master degree in "Data Science and Business Analytics". It is 3 years in total(I have done 2 so far) and I think it is worth it. The problem I have right now is applying for a DS job. I do not want to start as a Junior but I also do not have any real working experience with it, apart from some university mini-projects. I would love to find something in between for now, things like software developer for DS projects but those are very rare to find in my experience. Unfortunately it is not that easy!

[@eswarraj1652]

Thanks for sharing! It was very insightful. I quit my software engineering job of 7 years and joined a Master's program in Data Science

[@swetalj7265]

where have you joined master's program?

[@creativityfunzone2974]

I am a computer science student. But I don't like coding any more. I love to analyze and summarize data. I know R, sql , excel , tableau , python (basics) .Should I go for data analyst?

[@ContentCorner-ou5pl]

You are saying you switched after 12 year to data but your linked is something different , its showing 2 yrs software work that also little de work only

[@twaritachoudhury292]

It solved all my queries regarding technology change. Thanks

[@billlee8670]

It's better to work as a software engineer and let you company pay your data science master degree at the same time. You can save a lot of tuition and don't have to quit good paying job. After graduating, you can even get good raise! Triple WINS!

[@codebasics]

Yes that's a very good option. Unfortunately not many companies give this option to their employees but if they do one should go for it.

[@shankkarprabhu5480]

You are one of the positive motivators in life if u looking for change[Already Learned few skills on my own like Basics Python & tuning it intermediate and Data science Libraries using online now ]. Could you please guide or mentor me . I dont have any friends in this field.. so i dont have much programming experience in the past and have 10 yrs of expereince as QA Engineer .As well as I got demotivated in current because my circles telling i am loosing my good opportunities in the current roles and also thy are telling u cant get a job in data science field, so it make me down and also feels it as obstacles... so I am looking your career guidance and mentorship in Datascience AI ML domain and also what should i do if i achieved that goals using online self study & how much quality hrs i need to spend and time duration to achieve this ...Thanks for your videos and it boost us whenever we are down

You are a god of datascience...your channel is awesome.

Hello Dhaval, As experience Embedded software / firmware engineer closly work with devices and uses c, c++ os concept(no experience about node js, java, etc) . It would be helpful if you could make road map or video on same. How different & difficult/ challenging for embedded engineer to be a data scientist domain ? Thanks - Parth

[@jahesan]

I am in a same situation right now. 10years experience as full stack web developer and try to change my career as Data scientist . Really I am thinking that I can able to achieve or not... But this video much helpful to me..Let see . Thank you so much for this video

[@Sricharansree]

Actually why are you changing I wanna become a full stack developer

[@boot-strapper]

im a SWE for 8 years now. getting tired of slinging code all day every day. Looking to transition. Not sure exactly what to expect really.

[@ashishm2974]

Sir Pre requisite for Beginners to start Data science Journey and where to Apply ?

[@bluesaint123]

Can you please make a video on difference between big data and data science

[@oceanview3165]

I have a bachelor in computer science and I am 7 months into my first software engineering job. But now I want to switch to data science/ML. I already know general programming in python and have some exposure to ML from college courses. I am planning on getting a masters degree in data science from UT Austin but I was wondering if companies in USA would hire a data scientist without a graduate degree or at least without any relevant work experience.

[@mahalakshmia5509]

Hello sir, I'm currently doing data analytics course. Now I get placed in one of the company for software developer , I'm a fresher. I'm trying to get into data science Field. I need the suggestion regarding can I join as software developer or can I wait for data analytics position still the course get completed.

[@hemanthkumar1466]

Sir can you please suggest some indian institutes that offer data science course Thank you

[@WhoAnmolSharma]

Because python Machine learning algorithms are written in c/c++..🙂

[@marcellodichiera]

Haha: “Python is slow..” amazing Dhaval

[@codebasics]

I get that argument so many times and it is super frustrating :)

[@marcellodichiera]

@@codebasics I know.. best is when I was able to convince a Java developer and friend that python at the end is not sloowww compared to Java etc.. there are differences of course but not so serious ones .. :)

[@gauravpandeypgpm1739]

What if someone want to switch the other way?

[@kaifshaikh358]

First of all thank you so much for this video I am into Web development domain with 2 years of experience in support role so what should i choose Web development of data scence for switching my carrier as of now web development jobs demands more skillset like dsa and all so It is worth it to start with data domain

[@samqureshi9415]

Is it necessary to have good data structures and algorithms (problem solving) skills . Like solving 250-300 problem .or we can directly start with data science skills.

[@codebasics]

You can directly start data science skills. Basic knowledge of DSA always helps but you don't need to be an expert so dont worry about solving those many questions and start your data science journey straight away.

[@MegaEntertainmentChannel]

Hello Sir..i want to ask a ques ..i am interested in doing post graduate diploma in IT or data science ...i had done previously one yr computer course in which i had studied c language only and i m not sure if i m.good with programing or not or would be able to handle complex programing codes. My maths and statistics was good in my schooling time. Plz guide sir which option.i should choose and would be best for me 🙏🙏

[@singhharsh199]

Hi I am doing AI ML post graduate diploma but I am not finding any job. My background is Java development 4 year

[@josephafonne6012]

Thanks a lot for the insights. Are Data analytics and Data science the same thing or do they differ in some ways?

[@exspider64]

Data science is more in depth and has generally higher salaries.

[@devrishabkarwa5196]

Hello Dhaval sir big fan of your channel!. Sir I am in final year of computer engineering. I like coding but I am don’t know whether to go to software engineering/development or data science. I like the concept of being a software engineer but I am fearful about its future. I am having these thoughts that software engineering will be oversaturated and in the future data science will be worth switching to. I am having these anxiety filling thoughts that software engineering will not have as many opportunities as data science in the future. Please sir please provide me some guidance sir please

[@codebasics]

Both software engineering and data science fields are going to continue to flourish and both will have even more job opportunities than what is available. Your fears are totally wrong, don't think much just pick one that you like and work on improving yourself without any self doubt. Good software engineers will always be in demand: for good software engineers data structures, algorithms, competitive coding, computer architecture knowledge is very vital. I see many folks today who learn fancy frameworks like react, django but their fundamental skills are weak. Also soft skills such as communication, presentation, conflict resolution are more important than technical skills but few people focus on those. World is full of opportunities and the future is bright. I wish you all the best.

[@rayyanamir8560]

With the perspective that you're talking, data science can become outdated as well due to tools like AutoML

[@harshavardhan3133]

Python is slow in certain tasks , like in competitive programming sometimes python solutions would be TLE(time limit exceeded) but code in other languages with same asymptotic complexity get accepted

[@sharmakartikeya]

You are comparing Python with other languages for a domain that is completely untouched by Python. Python was never made for Software Development and 'Providing Developer Solutions to Company Problems with Data Structures and Algorithms'. Why not compare Python with Java and C++ for something like Data Handling or Web Scraping or something within these bounds. Python definitely is slow for fundamental implementations but covers up quite well for performing these 'Higher Level' Tasks by using external modules built on top of C and C++. Because Python takes the advantage of using C/C++ along with the ease in code writing because of being loosely-typed, it is a wonderful choice for programmers. Moreover, the future is simply bright for Python as it will continue to use low-level languages to speed up its own implementation and maybe one day improve on a fundamental basis as well. Peace.

I have 7 yrs experience in mobile app development.. i have done data science course but whenever i apply to somewhere they ask me to do continue with my current domain… they don’t wanna offer job to fresher … how should i proceed ?

[@codebasics]

Can you try for data science internships/apprenticeships? You will have to take a paycut as internships pay very less but this way you get some real experience on your resume.
