Breaking Into Data: A Practical Roadmap for Freshers & Career Switchers

​Choosing between Data Engineering, Data Science and AI Engineering—and building proof of work that employers can trust.

​Are you trying to enter the data field but unsure where to begin?

​Perhaps you are choosing between Data Engineering, Data Science and AI Engineering. Or you may already be taking courses and certifications but still feel uncertain about how they translate into a real job.

​Data Savvy Folks is hosting a free, tool-neutral guidance session for students, freshers and professionals considering a career transition.

​During this 45-minute session, Anmol Parimoo and Nishant Sharma will discuss:

​• The common foundations across Data Engineering, Data Science and AI Engineering
• The differences between these tracks and how to choose a starting point
• How data careers and employer expectations have changed over the last 5–10 years
• The realities of supply, demand and the ghost-job market
• How to approach your first role or career transition
• How to build credible hands-on projects around real company problems
• How to evaluate whether your current training is making you employable

​The final 15-20 minutes will be reserved for audience questions.

​This session is not sponsored and will not advocate any particular tool, platform, certification or training provider.

​Our objective is to help participants find direction, build practical capability and make better career decisions.
