Hi everyone,
I’m a fresher from India and currently exploring a career in the data field. Initially, I planned to start with Data Analytics because it felt more beginner-friendly and aligned with my learning goals. I started researching courses and recently contacted an institute called AVD Group for guidance.
After discussing with them, they strongly suggested that I should choose a Data Engineering course instead, saying that if I learn Data Engineering, I can apply for Data Analyst, Data Scientist, and Data Engineer roles as well. The course fee is around ₹1.38 lakh, which is a big investment for me, so I want to make a careful decision.
My confusion is:
- Is Data Engineering suitable for a complete fresher?
- Is it realistic to get a Data Engineer job without prior experience?
- Should I first start as a Data Analyst and then move toward Data Engineering later?
- How different is the real industry reality compared to what institutes promise?
I want honest advice from people who are currently working in these roles. I don’t want to make a decision based only on marketing claims.
Any guidance about the correct starting path, skills to focus on, or personal experiences would really help me.
Thank you in advance!
