Choosing a career is not easy when you have so many options that are equally mesmerizing but to cut it down for people who are more inclined towards data, you have two very obvious and amazingly inspiring fields, Big Data and Data Science. Both fields have gained significant amounts of popularity in recent years fueled by the increasing need for people who can make accurate data-driven decisions. But…. the question lies as to which one should you pursue. Let's ponder on each of them and help you sort it out for yourself. Both big data and data science are rapidly growing fields that deal with the management, analysis, and utilization of data to extract valuable insights and drive decision-making. Let's begin with Big Data, it refers to the gigantic volumes of structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data that are generated from a number of sources including social media, sensors, healthcare industries, machines, transactions, etc. Professionals of big data work with these large datasets extracting and arranging them in such a manner that it remains available, secure & optimized at all time. Tools that have gained popularity in this field are Hadoop, Spark, and NoSQL databases which help not only to store but also to process and analyze it. Big Data professionals are responsible for managing data ingestion, storage, and processing pipelines to ensure efficient data management and analysis. On the other hand data science encapsulates a broader set of skills that would involve extracting insights from data through statistical and machine learning techniques. Data scientists also need to be fluent in programming languages like Python, SQL or R so that they can clean, analyze and model the data to generate actionable insights. Professionals in this field also work closely with domain experts and stakeholders to understand business requirements and provide relevant solutions to real-world problems. data science also involves data visualizations and communication skills to effectively convey the results to non-technical stakeholders. They also require domain expertise in specific industries to make meaningful recommendations. If you find yourself more inclined to work with large-scale data infrastructure and have a keen interest in handling data technologies then big data might be a good career option. Whereas if you are more attracted to statistical and machine learning techniques, you enjoy data analysis processes then data science might be the option you are looking for. You should carefully evaluate yourself and see where you stand, what expectations you have for yourself and what skills you have. After considering all these only should you make a decision so that you are able to excel in the field you chose. In conclusion, both Big Data and Data Science are promising fields with unique strengths and career opportunities. Therefore the decision lies in whether you wish to go for a more sophisticated technology or one in which you get to show your creativity and communication skills.

It is high time for learning
We have taken all the steps to ensure smooth and quality learning, read what our clients have to say about us.
The classes attended were very much informative. The classes which I attended was on Machine Learning using Python. I learnt a lot there about the algorithms and various topics of the Machine Learning. The practical classes were very much interesting. Needed a more practical classes for each topics, which will help to understand at the level of best.
We learnt the concepts well and how to implement the algorithms in simple way.i like your teaching because you clearly explain the program line by line,so it was easy for us to understand the function of each line.
Classes were good, we need more explanation based on those specific topics or algorithms. Definitely , cultskills will make strong base for concepts (domain) as well as for your career. Thanks a lot!
Explaining the concepts in the way that everyone understands. Trainers are capable enough to make the students and the industry people get the concepts that they say.
It was really a great experience of learning with cult skills. Completed the Curriculam as of industrial standards and the interactive sessions allowed me to grasp the topic to their depths. Got to explore lot of new things from this course that will help me in my future ventures with ML and Web Development.
I've learnt a lot about the Python after joining the course provided to us. Our trainer is very informative, helpful and is having a positive approach towards problem solving. Really gained a vast knowledge about the course.
I have completed deep learning course from cult skills. Very interactive sessions, experienced staff and quality classes delivered by good trainers. Curriculum was covered along with industrial experience.
Nice experience. Detailed and interactive courses. Assignments are provided after each lecture. Doubt clearance session. Perfect approach for students who want to learn and explore new topics.
