At this point, I am feeling very confused.
I wanted to be a developer, pursued Computer Science since high school but ended up in a network engineer role (thanks to the recession, I had to accept this offer that listed Python and SQL in the job description). I’ve been promising to get into development work for a long time (one and a half years), but no such work has been assigned so far.
Now, I’m at a point where I just want to switch job, as my service agreement is about to end. I’m confused—there’s chaos around GenAI everywhere. Should I start with GenAI, or go back to the development work (MEAN stack) I used to do?
Due to workload, I could never study consistently for either.
I’ve introspected a lot, and I’m still confused. My current job only pays well, but the work is completely disconnected from my career aspirations.
Please share your comments, suggestions, and advice.
Note – I graduated in 2023 with < 2 YOE.
