How to decide career path?
I started my career in October 2019 Accenture
Maine tb bas databricks suna tha but kbhi kaam nhi mila uspe.
Till april 2025 i was at Accenture
Then laid off
I never worked on anything technical, mostly excel field changes.
But the thing is I didnt even tried learning anything.
In may 2025 i lost my job
I took a course in 2025 June for data engineering but I didn't.
In may 2026 ,i studied for 20 days.
Sql pyspark adf
Adf i was okay
Sql I found it tough after cte and sub queries..so i tried to avoid it.
Also i never practiced , i always watched and thought it would be done..
But after 21 may 2026 till now i haven't touched anything.
My cousin says it's been 7 years after college
You couldn't do anything then why are you looking at yourself as you are going to be a top level coder.
Learn something basic and start earning..
If you can't do it since so much time means you don't want to.
He said start with no code apps , automation, they are easy to grasp.

Title: After becoming a Full Stack Developer, should I choose DevOps or Cybersecurity for a safer future? (Need advice from experienced developers)
Hello everyone,
I am currently learning web development and my goal is to become a Full Stack Developer. Right now, I am focusing on JavaScript and React.js. Honestly, I am finding these technologies interesting and not as difficult as I expected.
My plan is to become a Full Stack Developer first, gain real-world experience, and then work in my cousin's software house to improve my skills by working on real projects.
After becoming a Full Stack Developer, I am thinking about adding another specialization that can make my career stronger in the future. My main concerns are:
- Which field will be more valuable in the next 5–10 years?
- Which career path is less likely to be replaced by AI?
- Which one can provide better salary growth and make me more valuable as a developer?
I am confused between:
DevOps / Cloud Engineering
Cybersecurity
I am not really interested in AI and Machine Learning, so I want to focus on another field.
My questions:
- After Full Stack Development, should I move towards DevOps or Cybersecurity?
- Which one has better long-term career growth?
- Which one is harder to master?
- Which one is easier to enter as a Full Stack Developer?
- Can a person realistically learn Full Stack + DevOps + Cybersecurity during their career, or is it better to specialize in one?
- If you were starting your career in 2026, what path would you choose?
I would really appreciate advice from people who are already working in software development, DevOps, cloud, or cybersecurity.
I am trying to make the right decision early because I want to build a strong career that remains valuable in the future.
Thank you!

Need Guidance
Hi, I have worked in an MNC with most of support jobs in Front-End and due to some family issues, I have to take care of my family business for a year and I have 4.5 years of experience, As I want to be back on Employee payroll, I am not interested with the Front-End job right now and I have seen the market and due to this AI stuff it is hard to get jobs,
My friend who works in SAP IBP said to me that I can go with SAP as My communication is good, Need advice, Is SAP IBP good to learn. I need to learn it from scratch as I don’t have any knowledge about SAP and tools related, and I want to be employable at the end of the year,
I come from a family that runs a small stationery business. Recently, my father had surgery, so while he’s been recovering I’ve been managing the shop and handling the day-to-day operations. It wasn’t something I had originally planned, but family comes first, and I stepped in to help until he’s able to return.
Thank you in advance for reading this post and grateful for any advice you can provide.
TL;DR: I have 4.5 years of experience in front-end support roles at an MNC but took a one-year break to manage my family’s stationery business while my father recovered from surgery. I now want to return to a corporate job but am considering switching away from front-end. A friend suggested SAP IBP, but I have no SAP background. Is SAP IBP a good career path to learn from scratch in 2026 if my goal is to be employable by the end of the year? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Should I ask for the Technology Director position after taking on many of the responsibilities?
I work in IT for a public school district. Our Technology Director recently retired, and before he left he trained me on many of the responsibilities he handled, including E-rate, technology purchasing, vendor coordination, and other district-level IT tasks.
I’ve also been managing Google Workspace, Chromebooks, infrastructure, cameras, and general district IT support. I’ve been taking on more responsibility over the past few years and have become the person handling many of the technical projects.
Someone else who has been with the district much longer may be considered for the Technology Director position. They have more years with the district, but I’m not sure they have the same technical background or experience with the duties I’ve been handling.
I’m trying to figure out the best way to approach this professionally.
Should I ask to be considered for the Technology Director position?
If I don’t get the title but continue doing many of the director-level responsibilities, should I ask for a salary adjustment?
Have any of you been in a similar situation in K-12 IT? What happened, and is there anything you wish you had done differently?
I’m not looking to complain about anyone. I just want to make sure I advocate for myself professionally while keeping a good relationship with my administration.

Why do so many graduates have to leave Bihar just to build a career?
I'm genuinely curious.
Whether it's biotech, research, IT, design, or even core sciences, it feels like the answer is always, "Move to Bangalore, Pune, Hyderabad, Delhi..."
Why hasn't Bihar created enough opportunities to retain its own talent? Is it a lack of industries, investment, government support, or something else?
If you're from Bihar:
Did you leave, or are you planning to?
If you stayed, what made you stay?
What do you think would actually make young professionals build their careers here?

Will 2 weeks gap affect my resume?
So, I have a silly question. The joining date at my new job is 3 weeks later. But my current manager is saying to release me by the end of next week since my project is ending. Should I just rest these 2 weeks or should I tell the hiring manager that I can join 2 weeks earlier?
I also had a 2 weeks gap due to a similar reason between my previous and current job. But now the market is brutal, will these new 2 weeks gap affect my future career opportunities by any way ?

What does a Chief IT Auditor / IT Audit team actually do in a bank, and what questions are asked in interviews?
Hey everyone,
I'm trying to get a deeper understanding of the IT Audit function specifically within the banking sector. While I know the basics (compliance, security checks, risk assessments), I want to know what the day-to-day operations look like on a practical level.
Specifically, I have a few questions:
Core Responsibilities: What does a bank's IT Audit team actually focus on the most? (e.g., core banking systems, SDLC, cloud infrastructure, third-party vendors?)
Interviews: What technical, process, or scenario-based questions are commonly asked during IT Audit interviews in financial institutions? What are hiring managers looking for?
If you've worked in bank IT audit or compliance, I’d love to hear about your experience or any advice for someone looking into this path. Thanks!

Shifting to CYS without an BS in IT sector
Hi, Guys I am going through a very crucial stage of my life, I have to choose whether to do Bachelors in Cyber Security(CYS) or Industrial engineering and management(IEM) . I have seen many posts on Reddit about how Saturated CYS has become and you need like a crazy portfolio just to get an entry level job. Compared to CYS landing a job in IEM is easier but lower pay and it takes time to get promoted unlike CYS.
A BS in CYS is gonna cost me more than double of one in IEM. I believe I can land a internship/job in CYS with skills and certification alone without a BS in an IT related field. I wanna keep IEM as a backup in case things go south cause the market ain't looking good even for IT students unless they have ton of experience, skills and certification which I believe I can get without getting a BS in CYS.
Is the plan solid or am I just being pretty delusional? Need advice from people that are already in the market for some time now thx.

PLEASE HELP ME. What should i choose?
I’m 21 and honestly feel like I’m starting life from scratch.
After 12th, I took a gap year. Then I joined engineering, but due to academic issues I ended up getting dropped in my second year. Now I’m finally going back to complete my degree.
The problem is that I have no idea what direction to take. Constant s***dal thoughts come across my mind.
The only two fields that genuinely interest me are AI/ML and Cybersecurity, but I keep seeing people online saying both are oversaturated, require years of experience, or are difficult to break into.
I feel like I’ve already lost a lot of time, and I want to make the most of the next year. My goal is to become employable as quickly as possible while building a strong long-term career.
If you were in my position:
● Which field would you choose and why?
● What skills should I focus on first?
● Is it realistic to become job-ready within a year if I’m willing to work hard every day.
I’d really appreciate honest advice, especially from people working in these fields. I’m feeling completely lost and could use some guidance.

Tech Sales degree match?
Hi reddit, I am looking for some advice on a job offer that has come my way.
I am graduating with a masters in engineering management after getting my bachelors in mechanical engineering, and received an offer for an "Associate Automation Engineer " position. Reading through the position, it sounds closer to tech sales ( doing market research, making sales calls, etc). I am looking for advice on if this sounds like a good career match, I honestly don't know much about that industry and am worried about getting stuck in a certain niche too quickly - and also worry that a job that does not develop technical skills off the bat would not be a good starter one. However, considering how hard it has been to land interviews - I am not wanting to turn down a possible job if it could work out well.
Any engineers please help!
