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.

Sorry sir. Dear sir, I am getting admission in following private universities in Pune for BTech CSE, can you please rank them? Pimpri Chinchwad University(PCU) DY Patil International University DES Pune University Ajeenkya DY Patil University. My father is saying go to Sanjay Ghodawat University, Kolhapur, but I don't want to go there because it is very far from any metropolitan area and will limit opportunities or extra curricular activites. I like coding, I don't like physics and chemistry.

Ans: HI d,Since you have chosen your branch, you need to select an institution or university. Please go through their websites and compare the facilities, such as faculty, labs, and syllabus. Additionally, check if they encourage students to learn both hard and soft skills. This will help you be employable by the end of the course; otherwise, you might end up wasting your time, money, and a year. So, please consider my suggestions for your comparison.
CODING IS LESS SCOPE. SO YOU CAN AVOID AND PREFER SOME OTHER FIELD.
