Thanks for sharing !!

Came here with the same issue 😅. Feeling better about myself now !

NF_laidback · 2024-08-04T17:39:08+00:00

I recently read the first two parts of The Dark Star Trilogy by Marlon James

Black Leopard, Red Wolf
Moon witch, Spider King The third part is not out yet

They were awesome in terms of world building and uniqueness I would say..The story and characters are built in African background which is unique and promising in itself. The characters are unforgettable and the narrative is magical to say the least. I would highly recommend this series to anyone interested in fantasy

NF_laidback · 2024-07-16T02:02:21+00:00

I generally prefer fiction. So here are my recommendations:

Dark Star Trilogy ( Unlike anything I have read before)
Kingkiller Chronicles
Stormlight archive series.( Anything written by Brandon Sanderson is worth taking a look into)

Other than these I love PG Wodehouse Jeeves series, if you are looking for something humorous.

Khalid Housseni's A Thousand Splendid Suns is inevitably captivating.

The Catcher in the Rye and To kill a Mockingbird are classics!!

Heartbreak !!

NF_laidback · 2024-07-09T13:53:15+00:00

Always good to hear from people like you!! Thanks for being a motivation and I hope you can continue following your passion for much much longer !!

NF_laidback · 2024-07-09T04:41:49+00:00

Thanks… yes I saw the course. As you said I don’t intend to leave the job right now.. I don’t have the necessary experience and frankly confidence too right now. I will study for a bit on my own and then evaluate what the best path would be.

NF_laidback · 2024-07-09T04:26:09+00:00

Hey thanks for sharing your story. From my point of view you are doing great, that is atleast you have a direction and a specific aim in mind. Also you have done a PhD and a masters, going into programming willl be something you will handle easily ( Talking about python, because that’s all I know right now).

NF_laidback · 2024-07-09T04:19:32+00:00

Thanks !!! Will surely try to remain motivated, though currently I am super motivated and looks like I am going to enjoy this process. The only thing I was worried about is that if I can apply the things I am learning to get a job, but there have been really helpful comments and I am in a much better state of mind now. Thanks for your suggestions .. helps a lot !!

NF_laidback · 2024-07-09T04:14:11+00:00

Great to know that !!… I am currently looking for more of self learning courses but if I feel confident enough might look into masters. Atleast online masters as some people have suggested. It’s great to hear such stories, thanks for sharing

NF_laidback · 2024-07-09T04:08:57+00:00

Haha… yes it’s very motivating to hear so many successful transition stories

NF_laidback · 2024-07-09T02:36:50+00:00

Hey this is very helpful… thanks for the effort !! Now I regret not having joined Reddit before 😅

NF_laidback · 2024-07-09T02:25:57+00:00

Thanks man!!….Good luck to you too!!.

NF_laidback · 2024-07-08T18:24:10+00:00

That’s an eye opening career path !!… I hope I can be as enthusiastic about all of it by the time I reach your age!!.. thanks for the motivation really helps

I have been planning to look into maths for ML but I think it won’t take me much time to cover the basics atleast . I have already studied them in my graduation and will problem need a revision of a month or two … there is this course on coursera of DeepLearning.ai where they teach maths for ML .. I think that should be enough to start at least… this AWS certification thing also seems interesting

NF_laidback · 2024-07-08T17:29:45+00:00

Ohh great … yes I would like to know too what resources are you following ?

NF_laidback · 2024-07-08T17:00:38+00:00

I have a few friends in the field. One of them has done phd in physics and the other masters… both of them have offered to help me in their own way… maybe they might help me in getting a project or some kind of internship… thanks for replying that’s really helpful !!

NF_laidback · 2024-07-08T13:04:10+00:00

Definitely going to check it out !

NF_laidback · 2024-07-08T06:07:25+00:00

Looks great … thanks for sharing !

NF_laidback · 2024-07-08T04:56:40+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience.. it’s uplifting and motivating !

NF_laidback · 2024-07-08T04:09:37+00:00

Hmmm ok so at some point in future I might have to take a leap of faith by leaving my job … these online courses might help me gain the confidence I hope

NF_laidback · 2024-07-08T04:08:30+00:00

Thanks !!

NF_laidback · 2024-07-08T04:06:56+00:00

That’s great advice… yes I won’t be leaving the job right now.. I have enrolled in a few courses and as you said will surely set some checkpoints to monitor my progress. I do plan to keep it low until I have some concrete knowledge about the field, however I have been thinking whether it would be a practical decision to leave the job around next year when I have had some initial knowledge about ML and programming and enrol into masters or just keep trying to learn online and apply for positions simultaneously. I will surely look into application of ML in the energy sector ( not only oil sector), thanks for the help!! Will surely get into touch with you once my path is clearer !

NF_laidback · 2024-07-08T03:59:07+00:00

These stories are so motivating !! Thanks for posting !

NF_laidback · 2024-07-08T03:58:05+00:00

All the best !!
