Machine Learning
I have ~2 years of experience as a software engineer working across full‑stack web and some mobile development. I want to upskill for better growth and salary, and I’m currently stuck between focusing on Blockchain or AI. For Blockchain, I have a rough idea of the roadmap (smart contracts, Solidity, web3, etc.). For AI, I’m not clear what core skills I should build first (math, Python, ML, data, etc.) or which roles are realistic for someone with my background.
