You have just started your career. I have plenty of experience in software dev, having hired, managed, coded etc, your future isn't anywhere written in stone as you'd think. You seem very worried about the situation and it's definitely clouding your mind. Drink some tea and breath, all is good(as it can...) It doesn't matter if you degree is in math if you want to work anywhere in computing: software engineer, data science, AI, IT support or anything. If you dislike working with Data Science feel free to try different jobs. I'm a foreigner living in Germany and to net a job here you likely need some sort of seniority(read: 4 years working in X Programming language or something from DS) before people start considering you, but given how I know how living in a third world country feel like, and how ambitious people usually are when they live in such conditions, I believe you'll do just fine. Try different things in IT. If you think SWE is a path, try it! Don't feel too attached to present outcomes, let's say you end up needing 1 year to find an internship in SWE, just accept and go with the flow. Of course, that is considering you are eating properly and surviving. I know we can't choose like rich american kids, but you definitely have a great future ahead of you and many options If you want we can have a call(email on bio) and you can ask any questions, I relate a lot to having the same kind of questions when I was at university and I wasn't even dedicated or successful as your beginning. I just stuck at it for a while and did what had to be done and I'm here Today, I work for a company, get paid well, live in a first world country and I believe all of this is in your reach, just enjoy the current moment as well, don't live in the future. Enjoy the adventure. |
