[@subhendupraharaj5653]

Can you suggest me what to do I have done bsc in physics whether to do mba or mca both are new subject for me But I am in dilemma

[@taekwonjeff]

YO i literally did the exact thing as your guest! I was working on my phd in physics and left academia with my masters because of the toxic work expectations. Another thing i had in common with your guest is that i was working on cosmology . Anyway, I took a year off to figure what to do with all my acquired mathematical skills and discovered the field of data science. I took a few online courses in python and then landed a job in NYC as a full time data scientist. I make way more money than i would have as a professor, i work way less hours, and i still get to mess around with interesting problems and do fun math. I use your videos all the time btw when i need to brush up / learn about new data science skills

[@codebasics]

Hey congratulations on your success. Can you write me an email on [e-mail] ? I would like to know more about you and if possible invite you as well on my channel for a conversation

[@taekwonjeff]

@@codebasics absolutely! i would be honored! sending an email now

[@bereniceg777]

@@taekwonjeff can you please give a rough estimate of your salary...I'm extremely sorry I don't wanna sound rude...I had no intention of prying into your personal affairs yet I just wanna know how the pay is? Sorry again 🙏

[@miikke0]

Can I ask what the online courses you took were? Or what sorts of areas of study you were focused on when you did this? Did you do a lot of self-motivated projects to build your portfolio? I'm a current master's in physics student myself, studying as it happens, high energy physics verging on cosmology. I am planning on working a data science role when I'm finished here, but I'd like to be more confident that with certain online courses and/or specific skill development, I will have prepared enough for the job market. Thanks!

Hello. I am a post graduate in physics, started my career as teacher but intrested in data science, ML. I am learning python. Could you help me to career as you?

[@Kishan31468]

He is a fascinating person. Only interview which I watched fully. Amazing man. Thank you Dhaval sir for the interview.

[@codebasics]

Glad you liked it ☺️

Great to see you living your passion @ Shrish! Best wishes...

[@patrickwang671]

This is exactly the kind of encouragement I need. I'm in my final bachelor's semester also, in physics and I was thinking for a time about switching to data science!

[@codebasics]

Go ahead and do it. Nothing will stop you, we live on a world of full flexibility and freedom where you past background doesn't matter. What matters is your learning attitude and a hunger to do amazing, non conventional things for the better future.

[@keeganfernandes9255]

I'm doing the same thing. What college are you thinking of applying

[@patrickwang671]

@@keeganfernandes9255 im not entirely decided yet. I'm currently at the technical university of Vienna and we have a dedicated data science masters but you need either an it or mathematics background for some god forsaken reason. I might continue my physics masters and just stick on additional programming certificates. I do kinda want to do both tbh.

[@safwanshamsir6720]

Thanks a million for bringing such inspiring people to the show bcoz I'm a Msc physics grad and I'm really uncertain about changing my domain to Data science but I didn't knew whether it was correct decision or not. Got some great insights from this video Thank you so much sir. Your videos are very helpful🎉

[@lets_learn_some_tech5542]

Now there are more people from different background moving to Datascience.Thanks @codebasics for bringing out this video which will help students change their carrier to data science. Even I have recently changed my field to Datascience after completing MSc. Physics from the same institute(NISER).

[@nirmalaregmi29]

I have also completed Msc.physics and want to change my career to data science.Can I join phd directly?how it feels??can we get scholarship?

[@lets_learn_some_tech5542]

@@nirmalaregmi29 See if you are really interested in doing research join PhD, but I would suggest you to rethink before joining. And yes india you will get a scholarship around 31K per month and in abroad it varies from 1.5- 2 Lakh per month.

[@KK-wk1id]

You'll get scholarship of around 40k(total) when you qualify NET JRF in physics. Further different colleges have different scholarships which come under TA category. TA means teaching assistantship in which you have to help teacher in their work for a specified time.

[@vipingautam9501]

Hey - amazing video! My name is Vivek and I too come from a Physics background. I have gotten interested in AI/ML - specifically the intersection of Physics with AI/ML - "Physics-informed Machine Learning" or "Physics-informed Neural Networks (PINNs)". I think PINNs are a great way for Physics and Engineering people to get exposed to ML although knowledge on PINNs is not readily accessible outside the research community. I have partnered up with an ed-tech start-up called Vizuara to create videos on PINNs and I too am struggling with all this job application stuff. We should definitely connect!

Totally wrong. After few years experience it is exactly reverse, i.e. your degree doesn't matter at all!

[@kesiyathomas6229]

You said we can get a job without a degree I agree with that But you won't explain how we can get hired in company's without a college degree Because I am obsessed with my academics even in 3 month I can't survive with the bloody syllabus

[@codebasics]

(1) Participate in kaggle/stack overflow and build a good rank (2) Network with people (3) Build solid project portfolio (4) Try freelancing. Here is one success story: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ql7OmnaNZc-Xgsk The person here is a mechanical engineer but immidiately after his b tech he directly got a job as a data scientist. His mechanical engineering degree was not considered during hiring process, instead what helped him was his kaggle performance.

[@aileo5689]

When people seek data science field as they would get job out of it . I find it very funny. 10 years back people where not having job despite having a great knowledge of statistics and probability but people who where not passionate just dropout and people who stayed in the field are millionaire now. So make data science as passion just not considered it as selfish mode job giving field. Getting a job is not bigger deal if really are passionate regarding field. I made it, srish made so definitely everyone can do it. 🔥🔥🔥
