3rd year Diploma CS student interested in Data Science & ML — what should I focus on to land a Data Scientist or ML Engineer role?
Hey everyone,
With all the AI-driven layoffs happening (Meta cutting 14,000 positions), I'm trying to be smart about what I learn next.
My current profile:
- Python, Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-learn, SQL, Streamlit, Git
- Projects: California House Price Prediction (deployed on Streamlit), Netflix EDA (Kaggle Bronze Medal)
- Day 50 of CampusX 100 Days of ML
- Starting a 3-month internship at an AI startup
What specific skills, tools, or areas should I prioritize RIGHT NOW to stay relevant and land a good Data Scientist or ML Engineer job/internship?
Any honest advice is appreciated. Thanks!
