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!

Pay scale is decent. I won't say the best, but you won't be disappointed. Top management is usually good for the Tech Team. They listen and they understand. They have been quite considerate during the bad times while we were working from home.

Dislikes

Too much work load at times. Ad Hoc business requirements shatters the quarterly plans at times. We are helpless and have to follow the instructions.
