So confused right now. I am a 3rd year engineering student and know about datascience 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.

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

Seriously confused need guidance!

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

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

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🙏

Switching from PM to Engineer

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.

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.

Confusion in career

Software Engineer

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?

Pls give me a roadmap

I am confused as to which field should I venture into,

Big data or data engineering or cloud architect?

I like coding but not way too much.  (7 on a scale of 1 -10)
I love communicating and organising/managing stuff(9 on a scale of 10)


I love working with data but I dont want to be a generalist/data analyst.

I would like to make good money

Data engineer

Hi, I am currently working as a graphic designer at a company in Bengaluru It is my first job, and I a learning a lot from there but web development is what gives me that kick. Right now I am 21 and money is not an important factor for me but after 3 to 5 it will be and I don't see getting a good salary where I am currently working. It's been 7 months I haven't received a single increment whereas my responsibility has been increasing significantly. I have been coding for almost a year and still working on it after work. Right now I am very confused should I devote my time completely to coding, I am not from an engineering background does it make it harder to get job in that field.

Confuse about career ?

So I graduated from a Tier 1 college (non IIT NIT) in May 2021, majoring in CS, and got a job as a Software Engineer. And then just after a few weeks changed to a more CS based good named company. 

Gonna complete a total 2 years of experience, but not feeling if I want to be in the same profession my entire life (even if I consider becoming an Engineering Manager at some stage, that would easily require me first taking atleast 5 more years as an SWE). Not like I don't like coding etc. but feels like this ain't for me. 

So at this point I'm confused if this is my current job that I am feeling like this and it would get better if I change (there was a false alarm like situation that happened when I started this job, so could be a bias), or go back to school to do an MBA (lately I've been getting attracted to it like a magnet)

Even if I go for an MBA, I would want to try hands on on various specialisations (Sales, Marketing, Operations, Strategy), but will keep a good enough focus on Product, my prior tech knowledge could help me. 

Looking at both options, I've been in a dilemma since a very loooooonnngggg time, unable to decide which one to choose. 

Any people who've been in similar situations, can you please help me out ?

Confused on how to navigate my career. Need Help......

I’m a college grad from IIT in CSE. I haven’t done any competitive coding or any proper coding during my college days for that matter. I have lost confidence in myself for some reason. I had taken up a business job but left it in a few months because I thought I could do better. 
I want to do competitive coding but as soon as I open my laptop, anxiety kicks in. 
I need guidance on how to proceed and what recourses should I use. 
I don’t want to waste my degree as I feel I can do better than my previous job. 

Please help me on fighting my demons.

Confused about how to proceed in life

I am a 2nd year engineering student about to enter my third year, and I am still unsure of which skill to focus on to secure a job. I have a good grasp of DSA and was considering starting web development, but I am concerned about the high competition in that field. Could anyone suggest any emerging skills that are expected to be in high demand in the future ?

What skill should I start working on?

Hello guys.

Need your help , which field I should choose for secure future.

DevOps Engineer

Hi,
I have almost 8 YOE in software development. I was in my comfort zone and spent 6.5 years in a service based Indian MNC on a legacy project, where I only did what was assigned. I don't think I have good skills in the technology I was working on. 

Then I switched and I wasn't informed but when I got into the new company which did pay me much better, my technology got changed. Now earlier I was working on a very highly used technology, but now I am on a niche technology which is less used and might disappear in say 10 years.

I am worried about the future.
I don't know if I should go back to the technology in which I was working earlier (C#.net), or learn a newer tech like data science or AI and try to start fresh or continue with the one I am working on(a Telecom billing solution).
Can you please suggest to me the path?

Software Developer

Hey guys a master's student here . So it's finally that time of year placements have started and the first companies to arrive are the hardware companies like micron , TA etc 

So here's the question is it ok to start your career in these companies considering they are not SDE profiles ? I am aware that the highly specialised roles that these companies offer will end up becoming dead end in longer run . They are offering position only for the masters students 

How difficult would it be to transition into different core cs  companies? 

My coding skills are not that great , still grinding out leetcode ? 

Should I just end up joining these hardware companies or wait and try to crack sde positions ? (The competition is extremely high for those companies and undergrads are great coders)

Hardware companies and software profile

I am currently working in IT support in Capgemini..the work is not that challenging and there feels no learning or growth.. currently I am confused about learning DSA,dev or data engineering? Wanted advice on the same ? My engineering major was in electronics.

Technical Support

I am a student doing my internship at a startup in Bangalore. I get paid very less. I want to join a product based company. I didn't do much of either competitive programming or DSA. Currently i am learning DSA and planning to start Competitive programming to crack product companies. But i am confused is this right or should I follow some other paths?? 


Can anyone help me with this🥲
