Coding vs Networking

So confused right now. I am a 3rd year engineering student and know about datascience and ML and have surface knowledge about everything. Now I am thinking to move completely to netwoking rather that core coding and have wasted a lot of time in that. Any suggestions or opinions.

I'm in tier 2 engineering college just completed my first year and just learnt C not 100% but tried to know the basics I'm confused to choose a path in coding What should i start learning how to learn these languages im so confused rn each and everyone is saying something different one is saying go for c++ then dsa someone is saying go for WEB dev I wanna learn something that'll help me in college as well as make me earn that much that i can fulfill my basic needs in college And lastly how to be motivated always to grind and learn as well as code cause i always lose motivation after few days because of fear that i don't know anything and I'm just a average student I'm scared that my college years will be waste if i didn't learn anything beforehand Please someone guide me the roadmap how and what to do

I am a fresher working as a Data analyst in a growing startup. My current role doesn't include much of coding just python and SQL and sometimes little bit ML work. Currently handling 2 projects, and some of PM work to define some roadmaps. I like engineering and coding in whole and want to know more. So do I switch to some SDE role or is there are more paths after Data analytics? I know ML, DL and NLP but not sure will it be a great choice to make career primarily in Data science. So, I am little confused. Please give all good advices. Thanks A curious Engineer

Hey Grapeviners, I need some serious help. Bit about myself - just graduated this month and working as an APM at a seed stage startup. I have 1.5 years of product experience and 3 years of overall experience. Lately, not sure why but I am loving what engineers do. Closely working with them, and I guess it's nostalgic for myself. Because I did coding for 6 months and moved on for some reason. So, I understand how tech actually works. Have got good feedback regarding this. At the same time, I am not really finding the true value of what I am doing everyday. Feels a void inside. Also, I am not able to discuss all these things in person with someone, because I fear that they will judge me after doing internships for 3 years, I still haven't figured out my career. Such a loser I am. I have been thinking about starting coding again and maybe switching to a coding job in the next 6 months maybe. But again it would be tough for me as I only got weekends for me to learn all this stuff. What do you all experienced folks suggest? What should I do? Please comment if you can help🙏

Hi all I, just graduated from undergrad and started to work as an associate product manager at a YC company. Having worked as a PM for a the last 3 months, it’s not something that excites me and I don’t feel like I’m actually building something. The pay is pretty decent (14 base, 4L ESOPs) but money is not an important thing for me right now. I seriously want to switch careers to software engineering where I get the feeling of actually building (+the feeling of being an engineer). I want to quit my job and go all in to code for 6 months and see how it goes (as mentioned, money is not an issue as my parents can take care of me for a while + they’re pretty supportive). Can you please give your two cents on this topic? I’m pretty confused but I want to be an engineer.

Hi friends, I am working as a network engineer for the past 2+ years. As a network engineer I do work on shifts ( mostly night shift ) I am bit confused here, Whether to continue in the same field or switch to another technology. Can anyone help me like what will be the future of network engineer also the career growth in it. And what package I can expect after 5 years in network domain.

Hii all I joined Infosys 6 month back but I didn't get any project yet also got training in testing but somehow I'm interested in math and Data science. I'm getting little bit confuse about my career. I would love to hear some suggestion to clear my confusion.

I am currently in my 3rd yr. I'm about to give my 5th semester end sem exams. Till now I haven't done any coding as of now. I was only enjoying college life with friends. Not blaming but there is no coding culture in my college and I myself was also not aware about the market. Now I realised that I have done a big blunder. What should I do first now? I started learning Java during the Diwali holidays and I'm half way down. Pls tell me a roadmap so that by the end of 3rd yr at least I have a good internship in hand. I wrote all of this here because I think I will get some really good and valuable advice from the experienced community. And I need it very badly. Please tell me a roadmap of what I should do and what I should avoid?
