Thanks a lot. Im doing this transition at the moment, wondering the next steps. I heard people talking about how to engage in data science, but it's all in the beginning. I'm pursuing certification (360 hours) accredited by a university in data science and big data. This was the way I found to migrate from SWE to data science. I have ~2 years of experience in systems engineering, had worked in an applied physics national lab... So, I was trying to get in touch with people from the field in LinkedIn. I wonder if you are open to connections there, so that I can follow your steps in the field :) Best!
PS: what was specifically your masters about? A data science graduate level of studies can vary a lot from program to program - computer vision, text mining, nosql, statistics, big data, etc- ?
Thank you for taking the time to read and comment. I focused on taking classes in big data, application development in data science, and using data science in the business. For projects, I mainly focused on automating data processes and tooling for big data. Feel free to connect on LinkedIn, it should be linked in my bio.
