Yes, I used to work in software testing in 2014. After, my master's from IIT Guwahati, now I am working as a research engineer in Machine learning domain. Data Science is a beautiful field. It involves fundamentals of Statistics. You may need to study various Machine learning algorithms such as decision trees, linear regression, logistic regression, SVM, neural networks. Its an amazing thing to learn. Learning mathematical concepts like linear algebra, probability and calculus will help you in understanding the working of these algorithms. Its a good decision to move to data science. Its in high demand and will also nourish your brain. Sahil M.Tech CSE IIT GUWAHATI read less
