Why do you want to switch to data science?

Autodesk water20 OP Dec 16, 2020

Because I like DS n also good at stats, business processes and python.Worked on a DS project which gave me a feeling that I can be a good DS

Non tech and non CS folks populate the DS job market. More difficult to get a DS job than a SWE job. Also you may have to start as entry level DS.

Autodesk shall consider doing an internal transfer in his/her current company. Havd you consider that?

Autodesk water20 OP Dec 16, 2020

I had tried that route but didn’t work out

How about consider to apply for MLE job? It is less competitive than getting a DS job.

I am into core SAP techno functional ..even though my BG is CSE .. working in SAP is different from Other SWE jobs.. it’s more process oriented and has very restrictive application language Which is ABAP

I believe within SAP, there is a Fellowship Program, which you can do a 6-month tour with. Might worth to consider it.
