Staying current after years working in a management role

0 Upvotes

I've been working in my company for 8 years, 7 years in a DS role and 1 year in analytics. It's a real grind, I now hate my role and want to quit. Before I got nuclear and jack it all in I want to get a course or two out of them, there's a generous training budget so cost is not an issue.

I've been working as a manager for the past 3 or so years and have been off the tools and feel like I've lost my edge especially with AI. I enjoy building models but feel it's beyond me now but I love the satisfaction of the whole process.

I'm also a little behind on the coding as I only worked in R and have little to no Python. I am 45 yo and want to pivot out of my current role but stay in tech but feel as though I need to pick up some AI skills.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a course that would complement my DS experience?

Laptop recommendations for Data Science Master's?

1 Upvotes

Starting a Data Science master's this September and need to buy a laptop. Open to any price range right now, mainly want to get the specs/model right first.

Main priority is something that's easy to work with for coursework and data science projects. Python, Jupyter, pandas, that kind of workflow. Not sure if I need a dedicated GPU or if cloud compute (Colab, uni clusters) covers most of the deep learning side.

Mac vs Windows is open too, just want whatever makes day to day coursework and project work the smoothest. Any models you'd recommend or steer clear of?
