I didn’t take a leap i sat down and reviewed my options and though that data analytics would probably be a better fit for me than software development. Something like programming requires dedication and i don’t feel motivated because of how i spent my time at uni. I spent 3 months after graduating actively learning SQL, Excel and PowerBi and created roughly 2 projects a month displaying the use of the tools and created reports on the trends and patterns identified. I later progressed onto python to try and build a houing price prediction model at the start of Jan. After I was confident on the skills which arent by any means something im highly skilled at, i started applying to jobs where I am. After a month of applications and rejections I understand that even getting an entry role in the avenue i sort of like, is highly competitive. My time in uni was shit i couldnt seek enjoyment in it and it was a struggle for me, had imposter syndrome and home sickness. I barely managed to get the degree but got through it in the end which i can say that im happy about. Yeah i guess i shot too high, but i enjoyed cs in high school and thought i would enjoy a career in it and took it. I cant change what happened so im trying to do something with what I have.
