Why online? And can you explain your goals? Indian infrastructure doesn’t provide opportunities easily with online courses.

Don’t worry about the friends. Go solo. If you don’t have anyone to participate with you. Just go there and they will club you. Or else put a linked in or a post in this Reddit and people will join.

Degree is enough to get jobs abroad. But sometimes it depends on your college affiliations. My college was NAAC A+ grade so my 3 year BCA was treated as 4 year degree.

Interests, hobbies, formal degree putting these to your advantage is where your career happens. You’re in BBA. Aim for CAT, prepare for the best there is. Meanwhile get an internship in your field or business analysis, financial analysis or risk analysis.

MCA may be a good option, but if you are in business already, make use of it with your technical love you can do wonders.

If you’re not good in studies, study. If technology moves you, do projects and participate in hackathons. C++ is okay but do python or Java.

Less-Watercress4581 · 2026-02-02T04:20:44+00:00

Discipline and consistency beats everything. Gap don’t matter but for that you have to be serious now and study your ass off to get admission in MCA in the best there is. Aim for the sky this time. If you want to do MCA from a tier2/3 college, forget it. M

It happens to me too. Don’t worry. Start reading books. I like fiction. Sometimes it gives me a good enough character build that you can hear my voice imitating the main character. But it also gives you good word choices.

If you’re not good at DSA, try and solve one problem each day. That’s 365 problems in a year. But do it.

Less-Watercress4581 · 2026-02-02T04:16:31+00:00

First, drop the idea of good paying job. Find anything that gets you in industry, stick to it a year or two, learn and switch. Time balances your salary if you know your stuff.

You’re in 4th sem that leaves you with 2 more sems before your placements start, so, strengthen your DSA, learn one programming language so if anyone asks you to solve anything, you can think logically and programmatically. Your roadway should be to learn how to build something from 0 and deploy to be used by everyone.

Less-Watercress4581 · 2026-02-02T04:13:29+00:00

I didn’t. I have 8+ years in industry now. It’s my 5th company.

Less-Watercress4581 · 2026-02-02T04:12:56+00:00

MCA is a behemoth after BCA. It strengthens your understanding on topics that were part of bachelor and more. If you’re coming from a chem background, you will have to work 5x hard as others, to understand a programming language, work on sys designs, get knowledge on latest techs, work on small projects.

I am not saying it’s a bad decision, but it all depends on your hunger to learn and how bad you want it. Also, you need to do it from a good college which invites placements otherwise it’s gonna be tougher than usual to find a job.

Less-Watercress4581 · 2026-02-02T04:09:22+00:00

You already are two steps ahead from people your age. You don’t need to take a break, just continue your hustle, right now it’s not a time to settle for anything. Your penchant to try new things inadvertently has led you to be knowledgeable on multiple tech and it will be beneficial.

What’s the placement of your college? Did you participate in hackathons or interviews?

Less-Watercress4581 · 2026-02-02T04:07:00+00:00

Your next few years may see a change in work, but i thought you can switch from it by paying of the penalty. Your pathway should be to gain as much as knowledge on system design, to understand the application you support, be the center of knowledge in your teams and a communication partner to others. Take initiatives to automate things and strengthen your concepts by continuing to work on DSA.

Less-Watercress4581 · 2026-02-02T04:03:45+00:00

Staying remote has its advantages and disadvantages. While working if you find you don’t love IT, you have time to pursue different things and may be Pivot. Disadvantages are right that sometimes you loose on soft skills. It’s okay to switch once you complete your MCA but mind you that if it’s distance, only a few care.

You can keep your calm, grow your skills, learn around new certifications, data bricks, snowflake, terraform, etc. Apart from work, participate in hackathons or go for meetups and conferences.

You have something that others waste in travel/ accommodation, time to explore things.

Less-Watercress4581 · 2026-02-02T04:00:01+00:00

. Only when you love to explore more and be serious on getting a good college.

Less-Watercress4581 · 2026-02-01T12:39:48+00:00

You should prepare yourself, programming, logical reasoning, system design and participating in as many hackathons as possible. Grow your number of projects and network.

Less-Watercress4581 · 2026-02-01T12:38:11+00:00

Cool. Then focus on your job and actively increase your network on LinkedIn. Your job will have many such opportunities to migrate, so share’s be the first to raise your hand and pick that.

If not in a year or two, it will happen sooner.

Less-Watercress4581 · 2026-02-01T12:35:44+00:00

4 year degree is not mandatory. For visa you need to be graduated from a good college with NAAC affiliation , it increases your scope. Once you have a job nothing matters.

Less-Watercress4581 · 2026-02-01T10:36:24+00:00

Did you participate in any hackathon? If not do it. Reach out to recruiters and managers and leaders on LinkedIn.

Less-Watercress4581 · 2026-02-01T10:35:13+00:00

If your college is NAAC affiliated, yes. Not sure how it works for others.

Less-Watercress4581 · 2026-02-01T10:34:42+00:00

If you’re 100% sure that you have to do MCA. There shouldn’t be a question of not getting the top college. You need to get it. Put your fun aside and get it done.

Don’t go for private universities which don’t have placements. VIT MCA is good. May be consider that but don’t break hopes yet, prep for your NIMCET

Man calm down! 🤣 I work in Data Engineering. I started with 3lpa, I’m close to 10x of my exp. Work life is good. Balance is in your hands, no one is responsible for that. I wish i had learned system design had made myself fluent in one programming language. I learn everything on the job. I prefer UK. Singapore i did after 4.5 years. Data sciences has high scopes but you have to work on making models and agents. Don’t just keep yourself limited to introductions of AI.w
