I Left YouTube to Build an ML Course. It Failed.

Almost 2 years away from YouTube. A Machine Learning course that didn't go as planned. An AI industry that changed dramatically. And a new chapter as a Data Scientist at LSEG. So, what actually happened? In this video, I'm sharing the honest story behind my long break from Data Science with Deeshu—why I stopped creating content, what I learned from my failed Udemy course launch, and how I started exploring Generative AI, LLMs, RAG, and Agentic AI while working in the industry. This isn't just a comeback video. It's also about the lessons I learned along the way and what I believe aspiring Data Scientists and AI Engineers should focus on today. WHAT WE'LL TALK ABOUT: Why I stopped uploading videos on YouTube My experience creating and launching a Machine Learning course on Udemy Why my course didn't get the response I expected How Generative AI and LLMs changed my learning priorities Why Machine Learning fundamentals still matter in the age of GenAI My experience working on AI applications and experimenting with new technologies How I ended up joining LSEG as a Data Scientist What you can expect from this channel going forward *WHAT'S NEXT FOR DATA SCIENCE WITH DEESHU?* I'm shifting my focus towards helping you navigate the evolving world of Data Science and AI. Expect practical content on: 📌 AI and Data Science career roadmaps 📌 Generative AI, LLMs, RAG and Agentic AI in practice 📌 Skills you need to stay relevant in the changing job market 📌 Resume building and interview preparation 📌 Real-world projects using relevant technologies 📌 Career transitions, job switches and lessons from my own journey 📌 Industry insights and what companies look for in candidates The goal isn't to add another endless collection of tutorials to YouTube. It's to help you understand what to learn, why it matters, and how to use that knowledge to move closer to your dream job. COMING UP NEXT: I'll share how I prepared for Data Scientist interviews, my experience interviewing with companies including EY, IBM, Adobe and Tredence, and why I ultimately chose LSEG. If you're a student, aspiring Data Scientist, working professional, or someone trying to break into AI, subscribe and join me on this journey. Let's learn, build, and grow together. — Deeshu Data Science with Deeshu #DataScience #GenerativeAI #DataScientist
