If your Python is good then focus on the nuts and bolts of ML models and statistics. On staying current: The fundamentals have not changed that much. DS models fall into 3 categories, traditional stats, ML models that aren't neural networks, and deep learning. If you used a fifteen year old book you'll find regression models are exactly the same, ensemble models (e.g., random forest, boosting) have changed a little bit, but you'll always have to justify "why not just use a random forest?" in interviews or work anyway, so you might as well start with the fundamentals. Deep learning has changed the most, but again, you'll be expected to understand the fundamentals, what is backpropogation, activation functions, and if you want to go into DL-focused data science you'll have to have some basic understanding that goes beyond that, but again it builds on old fundamentals. I would say stick with whatever you think is best, 5 years isn't that old, and just understand if you want to work with "GenAI" you'll have to fill in the gaps. If you find you want to do more traditional DS, honestly the scikit-learn docs are fantastic. I studied Elements of Statistical Learning a few years back and felt like it prepared me very well. I actually appreciate that it's not Python-specific because having to discover and explore the different python ML/stats libraries on your own is a great way to learn. More on reddit.com

This is a bit late, but just saw this show up on a random google search I did. Go with the Masterclass one, its the newer one (unfortunately due to Udemy rules/ no versioning system, it makes it tricky to just swap out one course for another) More on reddit.com

The market is oversaturated. People with a bachelor degree struggle to get a tech job. You'll get absolutely nothing with a bootcamp. More on reddit.com

The second course is the outdated. You will run into lots of issues as it uses older versions of the data science libraries and the code in the course is depreciated. The instructor does have a second course Python for Machine Learning & Data Science Masterclass which is updated and I highly recommend it. https://www.udemy.com/course/python-for-machine-learning-data-science-masterclass/ More on reddit.com
