I'm not sure to fully understand your context here, can you please give a bit more detail or maybe explain it differently?

raven halo

hold on

marsh sundial

Im confused should i make project or what?
In general, for any job/type of companies, doing personal project is the way to go and much more interesting for interviewers than anything else. That and open-source contribution are the best thing you can do outside of having tones of experience.

im aiming for data scientist / ml engineer roles in future
What's the question here?

I really want a mentor who is in fang and can guide me when i get doubt : ) i feel unidirectional sometimes
Sadly, as far as I know, there's no members of our server that works in a fang and even less chances that one is here and would be willing to accept mentee.

However, there's tones of super qualified and experienced engineer in the server and we love offering "mentoring" when we can.

Thanks . I just want to be best man. You know be a supportive person to my family. Be the one who can be good at his work.

marsh sundial
#

I totally get it but you don't have to be at a faang for all that.

raven halo
#

I feel lost and really question that I'm wasting my potential

marsh sundial
#

I understand

raven halo
#

thanks

#

i just wanted someone to understand me... i will surely get into better place after 6 months... i will reachout to this place and tell all of you that good news... its a promise... 🤞🏻

Don't worry I completely understand you and it's normal to feel that way. I think what you need to think about is what you really want to get from your work? Is there something you want to do or get from your work? Obviously, beside money. Have you thought about why you got into this field?

raven halo
#

Yes Data scientist/ ml engineer with exposure of aws services

#

studying for the foundational aws certification soon going to take the exam

#

these 3 domins are interesting for me

marsh sundial
#

So, what thing you can do is start studying this in your freetime, build or contribute to project related to all this and start showcasing them. Once you feel you have enough knowledge you can start applying to jobs in those fields. That said it take time and sometime, switching specializtion can be difficult

raven halo
#

Understood thanks

marsh sundial

Pleasure, I hope it helps

raven halo
#

What do you work as?

#

c++ right

marsh sundial
#

Oh, one last thing. When you start looking for new jobs, don't focus only on faang.

marsh sundial
#

I've done a couple of years with ruby and now I mostly work with Python

raven halo
#

raven halo
#

If you want to work on ML engineering

what kind of ML related work have you done
did you get your degree in maths? physics? CS with a focus on ML?

i just need that on my bucket

marsh sundial
#

The market is bad and faang employees and the first one to get massively layoff

raven halo
#

idk about working in long term

marsh sundial
#

They are also overworked and don't make that much more money than other dev (except maybe the 1% of them)

# dreamy dock just for the flex I get it

not flex.... i have thought about startup and even working in them... i understood working in startup is quite interesting and lot of new things we would learn... and the same time i understood how to create a startup ...

#

While i found out everyone has a basic good mvp which they show infront of angel investors but they don't give until you have a good degree from top college from my country pr worked in top place

#

i need to make sure the know i have value and im liable

dreamy dock
#

Kind of depends on where you live I guess

raven halo
#

yeahhh

dreamy dock
#

Most of the time it's not just about the MVP

#

if you can show actual traction and a very strong technical team you're good, obviously degrees or previous workplaces can be a proxy for that (and many investors use them as such)

#

currently I'm working in SAP consultant (which isn't smtg makes me feel fascinated)

#

i have done 2 propee internships in college
Data visualization project inter and ai project intern

dreamy dock
#

Ollama at a research lab???

#

say what now

raven halo
#

yeahhh

#

no it was in my personal computer

#

they don't really take my work(any interns work) 😂
they just get us exposure to technology and how to work with them

dreamy dock
#

I mean realistically you'll want to work on ML kind of stuff in your free time

#

I’m currently a 2nd-year student, and my goal is to land an entry-level SDE I role at FAANG or a similar top-tier tech company. I’ve started preparing with DSA, LeetCode, and some projects, but I want to make sure I’m focusing my efforts in the right direction. Based on your experience, what kind of opportunities, companies, or learning paths would you recommend for someone at my stage to maximize growth and get closer to that goal?
