I have 3 years of experience in Java. Which one would be better for me - Big Data or data analytics?

Hi, The future of big data is really bright. Per IBM, 90% of the data that we have in the world today has been generated in last 2 years. Every day we are generating 2.5 Quintilian Bytes (2,500,000 Terabytes) of data. This data comes in from all over the place such as social media, sensors, transactions, pictures, videos and so on. The growth of this data is expected to be even faster in coming decades. Bottom line is that Big Data is here to stay and will require a lot of data scientist and machines to churn through this data to draw actionable insights and intelligence. What it means to you? If you are job seeker with ML/AI Big Data skills, at least the next 10-15 years will be a booming period for you, where tech giants such as Google, Facebook, Microsoft, IBM, other companies across all verticals, and startups across the world will be equally interested in hiring a talent like yourself. If you are an entrepreneur with a good ML/AI Big Data related idea, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to raise money to fuel your business growth. Per a Kalaari statistic, $6B USD has been raised by AI startups since 2014. I think you should go ahead with Big Data.
