Need Assistance

Hello Everyone, this is my first post here in this community. I am currently studying a Machine Learning Specialization course from Coursera. Right now I am in its 2nd course Advanced Machine Learning Algorithms.

I want to discuss the fastest way to get a good job as a machine learning engineer or data analyst and also need good project suggestions that can help me to get this job.

Is there anyone who can guide me?

I am located in the Canadian region.

I recently got an MLE job through a project I made, but I will rather give you tipps on how not to fail, compared to give tipps on how to succeed, because talking about success after archiving is a pure form of confirmation bias.

  • Take your time: You will need time to build something. My project took me around 1200+ hours.
  • Look into an area which you are genuinely interested in, for me it was LLM guidance and role-play prompting
  • Expectation management

And i can also tell you on how to fail the fasted:

  • Expect that a good paid MLE job can be archived fast, without any prior education or project. You will burnout quick.
  • Speed over substance: You do not need to be the fasted, or the smartest, but you have to spend some time in the matter to build confidence and knowledge in the field.

Since your question is from last year, I hope you made it :wink:
