Do you actually have the skills to be competitive as a data scientist in a tech startup (or in some other role?), or would you need to get a few years of training and then complete alongside fresh grads?
This is a crux.
Another factor to consider is that junior software engineering roles seem to be getting more competitive. I’m not sure how much of this is attributable to macroeconomic cycle stuff vs AI automation reducing demand vs increasing supply of people qualified for these jobs.
