    Hi Asif, I am having overall 10 yrs of IT exp and relevant to big data ecosystem is 7 yrs. Seems like my current pay is way beyond less when compared to the current market conditions with the exp i am having now gave an interview in a product based company a day back for the second round which is techno managerial interview went pretty well according to me but got the rejection mail this is creating a self doubt. My earlier switches are very smooth cracked every interview from the first one itself. Your journey is inspiring and i have to circle back on further improvising my skillset and target for the next roles. Awaiting for your next video on data engineer interview process in Microsoft

      First explore the roles frontend developer, data engineer or devops etc. Understand their responsibilities and day to day work. Watch podcast or search on google to understand that from there only you'll be able to understand what are the skills required. Then go to the official document and Star reading or search for course on TH-cam, Udemy or Coursera. Find a mentor on Topmate follow is guidance.

    I have "6.0" cgpa Iam in my 6th semister , I have no idea what to do, I don't know proper coding ,but Iam ready to take challenges now and work day and night......Please guide me to get internships and job atleast by a year ,Please I will start from zero level...your words can change my whole life,,,😓😢🙌

    • @AsifIkbal_YT
      @AsifIkbal_YT 6 วันที่ผ่านมา

      First of all, You are in 6th sem so 6 cgpa can be converted to 7 cgpa you perform well in next to sem. 2nd thing is Most of the companies have cut off of 6 cgpa so anything that is 6+ should not face many challenges only for marks. But you don't know coding which needs immediate action, dedicate time practice everyday and improve otherwise it's very dificult to get opportunity.

    • @AsifIkbal_YT
      @AsifIkbal_YT 9 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yes Sumair, you are right I had data related skills so it was easier for me to be a data engineer. If someone is having MERN stack why does he even try to be data engineer? He should go for Software engineer or full stack developer. That would be easier for him.

    • @AsifIkbal_YT
      @AsifIkbal_YT 12 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Of course, Debadeep! The skill set for data engineers and data analysts often overlaps, making this one of the easiest transitions in the industry. Given your experience with SQL, Power BI, a solid understanding of data modeling, and basic Python skills, you're already on the right track. To make the shift, focus on upskilling in a cloud platform like Azure, AWS, or GCP, and get familiar with data pipelines, distributed systems, and Spark. With these additions, you'll be all set!

    • @AsifIkbal_YT
      @AsifIkbal_YT 11 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hey Santhos, as an aspiring AI engineer, you don’t need to master all of Python-just focus on the parts relevant to AI. Here's a suggested learning path: 1. Python Basics (loops, functions, data types) 2. Data Manipulation Libraries (Pandas, NumPy) 3. Machine Learning Libraries (Scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch) 4. Data Visualization (Matplotlib, Seaborn) 5. Database Interaction (SQL basics) 6. Basics of Neural Networks and Deep Learning 7. Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) for problem-solving For DSA, it’s important to grasp the concepts, but stick to one language-Python is perfectly fine for this. No need to learn DSA in multiple languages. Focus on these areas, and you'll be on the right track to becoming an AI engineer!
