4 AI-Powered Coding

Just knowing Python isn't enough. The US tech scene wants AI-Augmented Developers who use tools like GitHub Copilot or Devin to deploy code faster.

Tools: AI-powered Power BI, Tableau, and Public Speaking.

Maintaining AI models is where the high salaries are. Managing the life of the AI on cloud systems like AWS or Google Cloud is crucial.
