I started my career in the field of Finance fresh out of college. Quickly realized it was not for me. Data Science and AI were in very nascent stages then. I researched about the field, felt this would be something I would like, made a plan to crack it, upskilled myself, and successfully transitioned into a Data Analytics consulting firm in a couple of months! Since then, I have further upskilled and now work as AI/ML engineer in a top Adtech company. Would like to share my experience
