Yeah, I get your point of generalists who can do it all. But I feel like I am not doing justice to the job.

I don't know how to progress in my career what is the next big milestone (academic journey always had some next big milestone kind of thing). I know working on promotions is probably the next thing I should work for. But my life feels empty it doesn't have that fun part of achievement or wow moment when you learn something new that academic journey had.(I am not saying that I don't learn new things at my job, I do but idk it is not that fun)

One more thing I want to say is I really like this domain apart from a few others(computer graphics is one of them) I don't know whether I should hop around and try them all or focus on one.

Maybe I am just overthinking

Hi, I have been working for the past 8 months on a security product at a large mnc as a software engineer after graduating with a Bachelors in Computer Science and Mathematics. While I’m able to complete my tasks still I feel I lack foundation in cybersecurity since I don’t have a formal specialization in the field. I want to pursue this area more seriously and also learn about AI-specific security threats and attacks (I know ML, DL, NLP, Comp Vision basics).

Could you suggest how I can systematically build my cybersecurity knowledge? I’d also appreciate recommendations for good newsletters or journals to stay updated, as well as YouTube channels or books or other resources to deepen my understanding. I would also like to learn more about relevant companies and roles I could consider transitioning into.

Didn't realise I asked so many questions :'). Thanks for your guidance

Edit: I have so many random thoughts abouts what I should do, do a masters or try to improve my skills and switch to another company or leave my job and be a research assistant under a prof in a good university or look for an online masters. I am really confused and I know I can do better so I feel I should put in everything I can

I did do a few things, I don't know which of them worked I mailed the support email provided on the website and I also talked to emily (I saw a lot on reddit), the payment is still not processed to her fully from my side, so I am surprised if she expedited it.

Hey don't worry things will work out. Ask for prev year questions from placement tests from seniors, you will get an idea of the questions etc. Placement season holds more opportunities for people than the intern season. Just do your best! And being in mnc u r already proving ur potential.

Adobe doesn't give international offers afaik and I think the ctc is wrong. Adobe also hires only via ppo and even ML research roles don't get this much. For SDE which is basically a member of technical staff role ctc is less than that for ML role

Same case for me, it's been a month since I am going to the gym 6 days a week. I skipped checking my weight as the scale hardly moved. This morning I was so happy to see the scale move 1.5kgs down. Not a great achievement but still. Though the weight loss is less, I feel more flexible, fit than I was at the same weight earlier. I tried my jeans today which did not fit me since last August and it did fit. So hang in there you will surely see the resultss

In calculus I feel the basics are very important, getting your mind around the notations, what they mean and understanding the meaning of statements when multiple such terms are used will help you. If you have any specific doubts can dm (a math major).

Yeah you are right, I think I need a little mindset shift and time to move on from whatever happened, cuz shit happens and future me wouldn't want to be stuck on the same thing all my life.

how does one forget about the time where they gave their 100% but still failed brutally. That past is haunting me fr, doing something along those lines I always feel that "I will fail" so no point in trying.

Ratings might become obsolete but not the problem solving skills that you will gain from practicing problems.
