upGrad Data Science Course - Worth it? Can I Join?
Hi everyone, I recently resigned to switch my career to data science but don’t have a clear roadmap yet. I got a call from upGrad—they offer a course with job assistance and claim 95% placement after assessments. Has anyone tried their program? Is it worth it? Also open to other course suggestions. Thanks!

And later on implement LOPs and go radio silence about it. The higher management is equally toxic and also call for meets at 11:30-12 in the night.
