Hello brother, I'm 16, will just be graduating from school within a couple of months. I wish to become a data scientist in the future. I'm already good at Computer Science as a subject in my ICSE school, but I badly need a mentor for my future endeavours. It would be great if I could get in contact with you. Thanks!
Is this from your real working experience? The year 1/2/3/4/5 of data scientist looks more like a curriculum to me. I am working in a big company (~10000 employee), many of the skills are out of data science scope (i.e. cloud/system design, more software engineering related stuff).
Most of the time, ds get work for data engineering/EDA/model/dashboard/SQL, and I feel the year 1-3 would take 5+ years in my current company. 5 years to become full-stack in a big company seems very optimistic to me.
Hi Nok, yes this is from my experience. I am currently 4+ years. Things can be very different across firms. I agree that 5 might not be enough in a big firm. It will require a lot of side projects and learning. Also, I moved cloud and software architecting to "after 5 years" section. Now the path is a bit more realistic.
Amazing post!
Maxpool slack site is not working :
Any latest update regarding that

Hey Ishan, I don’t mentor at the moment. You can go through my previous blogs on getting started.

I am genuinely interested what's the experience of other people.
