You need practical experience to get a job as a data scientist. True! You need a job to get practical experience in data science. True! Seems like a deadlock, right? But sadly, this is true. Today, companies are unwilling to try to train people in data science and start their requirements by mentioning prior experience in data science, even for beginner roles. But how can you gain the experience without working? If you just show courses and certifications in your resume, the hiring manager will reject it within 30 seconds. Even if you are great in algorithms and ML theory, you will not get the chance for an interview. Another problem. Many companies hire data scientists, but they mostly do reporting and bug fixing, so they never get any practical experience. After working for some time, they feel frustrated because the job is not up to their expectations. They also cannot switch jobs easily because they don’t have any notable experience. Many tried to fake it but got rejected in the screening round itself. So, the biggest question for every aspirational data scientist is: How can they break this cycle? How can they gain at least some practical experience, which they can put in their resumes and at least get a fair chance for an interview? The answer: Exposure to Enterprise-Grade Data Science Projects! You start with a problem statement, get the data needed, do feature engineering, apply models, and measure performance. Cool right? But you cannot do just any project. Your projects should be: - Unique (And not like iris classification or titanic survival) - Brings value - Impactful - Based on current market trends (Super Important) I have been researching this and found the perfect website - ProjectPro. They have some unique enterprise-grade projects that can be used for learning and portfolio building. Some of my favorites are: - Fine-tune Large Language Model for Advanced Chatbot - Langchain Project for Customer Support App in Python - Llama2 Project for MetaData Generation using FAISS and RAGs - MLOps Project to Build Search Relevancy Algorithm with SBERT - Build a recommendation engine like Amazon They have a list of 250+ projects and cover almost all the areas of data engineering and data science. Check them here - https://bit.ly/3w4vQVv They are not only projects but are explained perfectly, so you can describe them in interviews with all the technical details and reasons for selecting any specific model and evaluation metrics. That makes your profile strong for any relevant data science role. Share it with others! #datascience #machinelearning #nlp #llm #projecrts #ds #ai #ml #jobs

Totally relatable. I took many interviews and this is the basic problem with any industry. company want people with expertise but how people will get those without the job. Great perspective Abhishek. Also the website offers bunch of projects specially for data science. hope we have something for salesforce for some day and I can also recommend this to other folks 👍
