I know you are telling me to go and get a life but along with I need to set the blocks to climb up the ladder earlier , even if doesn't work out for the first time then I will have still some time in my hand to give it another shot...

No bhai. " get a life" is d last thing i will say to anyone. Telling you smthng i tell my 20 yo cousin or smthg i would do if was 20 again. Don't waste your youth energy for companies who would sack you once their 2 quaters go bad and the consultants at McK tell them to cut the cost. The sheer amount of energy of your youth given away for a ceo to buy him another penthouse? You can sleep for 4 hours , have one meal and still have enormous energy to do anything..you want to spent it in bloody cubicle to earn email recognition? Give one year to these cubicles and you will understand. Give it a try then comeout as soon as you realise you can do this later also but not other things later....

If you want to get into analytics, and if you don't have coursework in the final semester try to get an internship, don't slack there and you'd be made FTE.

This internship shall also help you get other analytics jobs next year once you're done with your college.

Not specifically to analytics purely but actually more of a product oriented roles , how should i start building the necessary skillset apart from what I already have , @SebastianFettel you Re already sailed through it , it would be great , if u could elaborate me little more!
