| <div>Mentee to Mentor <br><br>Dipak gave an extensive answer on why he wants to be a mentor on the application form. <br><br>I did SharpestMinds mentorship with David Staszak when I was transitioning to an industry role from academia. I found the mentorship to be a very helpful support system while I was preparing for that transition. I really appreciated the effort of my mentor and the resources provided by the sharpest mind community. Now that I have spent more than 3 years in my current role, I want to help others help with similar transitions. In my current role, I have been hiring and mentoring Data Science interns and helping them with practical experience data science experience. I am always enthusiastic and passionate about helping others. The process of landing the first DS/ML role can be challenging and frustrating for some. Having a good mentor to help navigate the process can be very helpful. As I have been through the mentorship experience, I want to be a part of it and help others. <br><br>1- What helped you most during the mentorship?<br>- Hands-on experience of building a project along with the mentor was a great help and also get business context compared to academia. Want to help other people who want to make that shift from academia to industry. <br><br>2- Previous mentorship/training experience?<br>- Have hired interns from master programs, mentored PhD students, and have also worked with High school students. <br><br>3- According to you, what are the biggest challenge faced by someone making a career transition from academia to business?<br>- Usually people in academia don't have a lot of coding experience around real world business problems. They also face challenge with resume preparation - as they cover most their research work in the resume which ends up making it a long resume of multiple pages compared to what industry requires is to have precise and consise resumes. Knowing the difference between coming up with the best solution v/s what is the company looking for. Also understanding that some of their skills can be transferable and help them identify those. <br><br>4- As a mentee, what activities and initiatives by SharpestMinds were helpful during your association?<br>- Friday sessions by Jeremy on fundamentals of D.S. on various topics like XGBoost, recommendation systems, etc were helpful.<br>- Mock interviews & coding interviews were helpful. </div> | |
