Too much of a trajectory change from SDE to Consultant

I am currently doing my internship at Amazon which is most likely not gonna get converted to a full time offer (provided the market conditions), I have another offer from EY for the role of Technology Consultant which would mainly involve work in data analysis. I have heard that it will be very tough to come back to an sde role from a consultant role. So I am in a dilemma of what to do next? P.S. I am more inclined towards an SDE role due to the growth it provides.

Hey, I'm a fresher and recently i joined a mid-size (5k emp) B2B Saas fintech company as a functional consultant. My job role is simply to configure the company's products according to client's specifications, which forces me to think that I'm adding no skills whatsoever except SQL which i can bank on for a switch. I thought since the role has "consulting" in it would be similar to management consulting but it's not.Should i quit and go back to cloud or is there scope for functional consultants?

Have an offer from a growth stage startup for SDE Intern. Subsequently, also an offer from Fintech PBC. Tech stack at Startup: Java, Spring, MongoDB Tech stack at Fintech PBC: Testing framework and tools Startup stipend: 25,000 Rs Fintech PBC stipend: 60,000 Rs My inclination is more towards the SDE role purely because of the wide exposure while the money at Fintech is too good for now but there is not much room from growth and also with Al taking over Help me make a decision!

I’m a final year computer science undergrad and planning for ms cs. I have an offer in a startup as data science intern but I’m new to it and a bit skeptical about it. The company is great but told me that my most of the work would be around data pre-processing, cleaning & visualisation and not developing machine learning models (will be given exposure). But my concern is that what if I want to pivot to software developer role after graduation, should I go with it or look for an SDE Intern position. Please help me here!

Currently an intern for a XYZ company, pretty good, compensation is pretty good, I'm an SDE intern, the team which im in is platform engineering, should I switch the role which has something more based on the heavy coding side? I don't see myself beyond 5 years here, would this team matter when it comes while making a switch?

Hey everyone , I am currently working in a consulting company with most work being in sql in snowflake and databricks and python. I wanna switch to sde or data engineer role. Does anyone have experience how can I switch. It seems like analyst in profile is not good. I am already trying to do DSA again. Oh yeah 1 year exp 🙃

I recently got placed in a good product based company and was assigned in Data Engineering team 1-2 weeks ago as an intern. I always wanted to be a Software Development Engineer and I really like to develop applications, websites etc and I also really enjoy it. I even purchased an expensive system design book to learn and implement how they build scalable apps etc because I find it very interesting. I never persued the data domain because I don't like stats and all the maths. Avoided AI/ML in college. Sure, I can work and learn about it in my free time, but I don't prefer it as a job right now. I couldn't develop my interest in data engineering after researching about it online for hours. Yes, the stack is cool and different, they build pipelines and all but it looks boring to me. I also read few comments saying that freshers are rarely hired for this role and one should work as an sde for few years before switching to this domain, and also they are paid ≤ SDEs depending on the company. What should I do now? Please guide me seniors🙏 Am I stuck in this forever or can I switch to SDE anytime I want? I am open to trying this role but then I am also scared that it'd may be too late or too hard to switch to SDE by then..? P.s. This is my first job, never worked in a company before so I don't know how things work.

Can anyone tell the basic difference between consultant and SDE
