I am about to graduate next year. So lot of companies(MNC) have started off campus recruitment. I have pretty good academics and portfolio. I want to pursue machine learning/data science in the future. I have done many projects and bootcamps to get a good grip on these fields. But these MNC's are offering the role of "trainee engineer" with a very low pay and the work isnt anywhere near my field of interest. So should I still apply for a desk job and slowly develop experience and then dive into MLE/ds roll or instead work for a good startup and develop expirience as a DS/ML area? MNC- infosys, TCS, LTI, capegeminie etc.
Why masters?
I have been told masters can play important role if I wanna get into FAANG.
Not really. Not worth the time and money.
I'm guessing you're from India. In that case, do indeed go for a masters. Unless you want to an IIT, your undergrad won't mean anything in the US. Can't comment about your main question.
If you are planning to for masters you better join some company which is well known in the place where you are going for masters.
Actually I am planning on doing masters in canada. So I dont think working in a well known company here(in) will count as anything as it's not related to field of interest. Atleast that's why I have been told. Am I right?
Yeah i mean to say that work in a reputed company with job profile that aligns with your field of interest. I got offers from PayPal and a startup paying more than PayPal. But that startup is Indian startup. So I chose PayPal
