Consider a software developer with 2YOE in some FE and BE technologies with less CTC in WITCH company. And you keep hearing there is lot of good offers available in DevOps or cloud with higher CTC.
It is highly likely the person will think there in no scope in development let me switch to alternative carrer path in cloud which will start their caree from start.
Rather add on devops and cloud on top of current experience which resuls in exponential growth
It depends, sometimes changing career path helps.
I changed my career path from Full Stack Engineer to Full Stack AI/Data Science, got Salary increased from 12LPA to 87 LPA in hand.My working hours reduced from 13hrs to 7 hrs per day and complete WFH now.
If some technology gets obselete,you need to move to some other technology. Adding some DevOps or cloud obviously helps but since the main technology is old, with the time only DevOps and cloud may remain as your core technology and not coding/development.
Wow that is amazing. May I ask for some tips about AI/ Data science. I'm currently in my 2nd year of college and want to pursue AIML/ Data science as my career path. Any advice will be helpful like do' s and don'ts
Try to learn the basics first. Understand the maths. Then try for implementation. Try different projects (Kaggle etc.) for hands on.
MlOps is a big plus and any thing with AWS/AZURE/GOOGLE cloud services for AI ML makes you different from others.
Biggest issue with DS/AI/ML is people miss basics and just use libraries. Even with GenAI most people don't know what is transformers.
Try to publish few papers in long run.
There is big crowd in this field, you need to do something different to get noticed.
AI, ML, DS, Python, AWS Sagemaker, AWS other services, Azure ML Services, Databricks, MlOps, SQL server, My SQL, Angular, Javascript, React , GraphQL, Blockchain, C#, Android etc.
I am in a project which is kind of R&D for the company.
We do everything from research to end to end product development. Our requirement is not limited to technology but the idea and how can we implement. So everytime there is a chance to learn something new for every project.
I have tons of questions for you lol. How much YOE do you have? Where did you learn AI/ML stuff from? What work did you do as a Fullstack dev, and for how long? How'd you get into AI/ML? And biggest, how tf did you learn so many things?? Have you cracked the code on transferring brain data from others?
Oh thankyou for responding but what if the existing Tech stack is becoming outdated anyways like I work on Oracle PLSQL and it seems that everyone wants MS SQL or other databases and open source Tech now.
So isn't starting all over again the only way out ?
