UK MSc spent big money can't beat build-in-public: how one dev landed MLE jobs in week one
kmeanskaran · x · 2026-09-03
A dev compares his friend — who spent heavily on a UK data science MSc but returned to India with no GitHub projects or public profile, now hunting internships in Pune — with his own path: a tier-3 college master's, but a build-in-public habit and technical writing landed him a contract MLE job in his first week of school, plus freelance, IBM/Coursera and brand collab opportunities. His claim: over 90% of 2023-24 overseas DS students are back job-hunting in India; show your work, not your degree.
