Please let me know if you have feedback on this plan to upskill before leaving management consulting.
Main Goal: Be in a position to get software engineering, data scientist, and ML engineering job offers after I leave management consulting.
Secondary Goals: Spend more time building skills that I can apply to my consulting work, avoid making my colleagues suspect that I want to leave consulting, get enough product engineering skills to develop my own platform / app, and not spend more money than I have to.
Timeframe: 2-3 years
Plan Steps (while working full-time):
- I'll continue my applied ML course (not self-paced) until it's over in September, taking additional side courses in linear algebra as necessary.
- After that, I'll take 2 other important python courses to close knowledge gaps - Python to Access Web Data and Accessing Databases with Python - simultaneously (not self-paced, 4 weeks)
- After that, I'll resume my web developer bootcamp course (self-paced), which I started a year ago and I'm halfway through. No ruby, but it covers javascript pretty thoroughly.
- After that, I'll enroll in a ML Engineering course (self-paced but estimated ~3 months) which ideally would build on what I've learned in the previous courses.
- After that, I'll work on a portfolio of projects that apply web development and machine learning.
