Hi, I am working as MIS in a FMCG company with aged 41 years. Thinking to learn new data tools and want to apply for Data analyst. Am in a confusion whether to change the career

Ans: It's hard to change jobs when you're 41, but it's not impossible. If data interests you, start learning and make the switch slowly instead of all at once. Before moving up to a full-fledged Data Analyst job, you might need to get more experience in your present role, such as by working on Power BI reports or data analysis projects.

If you're really interested, go for it! There are lots of job opportunities in the area of data analytics, which is growing. All the Best for your Prosperous Future.

Hi Sir, Iam working in IT Company which is my second org joined in 2022 as of holding 4.5 years experience. These days I'm getting less work as customer is not creating issues due to which manager has added me in another product too but to my surprise I got to know that is going to be end of life and now I'm with the product which is getting less customer issues. Manager asking me upskill which iam ready always. Iam planning to shift from Java to Data Analyst as I'm interested in it. Hence could you please suggest me is this right time to shift and take chance, in Sept I get 2 years completion with my current org.

Ans: If you are interested in the data analytics domain, shifting after 4 or 5 years of experience with Java would be a perfect move. Numerous resources are available for free on YouTube and at nominal costs on platforms like Udemy, Coursera, etc. I would suggest learning SQL, Python, and one of the business intelligence tools like PowerBI or Tableau, which will serve you very well. I am happy to provide further advice if you have any follow-up questions on this.

How will be rt mssu b tech it instead of any government college of engineering

Ans: Choosing between RT-MSSU's B.Tech in IT and a government engineering college involves weighing factors like career prospects, placement statistics, and the nature of the curriculum. RT-MSSU, with its focus on skill-based education and industry partnerships, might offer a more direct path to employment, particularly in the IT sector, while government colleges often provide a broader, more theoretical foundation

Sir, my son got 92.75 percentile in jee mains general category. Plz explain the chances of getting nit's or iiit's

Ans: He can try for the branches other than CSE and ECE in low ranked NITs. Secondly with a 92.75 percentile in JEE Main, you can likely get into some IIITs, but not the top ones. The specific IIITs available will depend on the category, branch, and the overall seat availability.

Career

I have been allotted computer engineering in thapar university. How is the branch.. What difference is there between coe and cse. Are there any placement differences?

Ans: Good. While "COE" and "CSE" can sometimes be used interchangeably to refer to computer engineering and computer science, respectively, they represent distinct fields of study. CSE (Computer Science and Engineering) generally focuses on the theoretical aspects of computing, algorithms, and software development, while COE (Computer Engineering) emphasizes the hardware and software interaction of computer systems. Don't think of placement much. Study properly. Leave this servant oriented mindset and try to be a entrepreneur. This ghost of placements are injected the brain of children by the sad, bad and mad society.
