Become my mentor!
I’m in my final semester of engineering—exams are over, results awaited. My CGPA may be below 7, as I struggled in the first five semesters. But from the 6th semester onward, data-related subjects sparked my interest. I worked hard, scored 8 CGPA in the 6th, and expect 7.5+ in the 7th. This shift gave me clarity and purpose. I enrolled in a structured AI & Data Science course from a reputed institute in Bulgaria, where I studied Python, Pandas, Statistics, Probability, and frameworks like LangChain. While I’ve built a decent theoretical base, I’m still confused about the real-world side of things: What roles fit my skills? What projects or tasks do entry-level professionals handle? What does a typical day look like? How do I bridge the gap between learning and doing? I’m passionate and ready to work hard, but I need direction—on building a portfolio, choosing the right specialization, and becoming industry-ready. Any guidance would mean a lot to me.

Is Data Science a Safe Career Option?
AI is disrupting various fields, both in IT and non-IT sectors. This impact spans across all aspects, including web development, call centers, and more. I would like to ask: Is data science a safe career option, or should we consider shifting our careers?

Messed up my Interview at Amazon. Can't stop thinking about it.
After trying so many times finally had this huge opportunity and I messed up so badly. It was for a Business Analyst role. I just went blank on the Live SQL Query test and kept on doing silliest mistakes. Could only answer 3 questions properly; for other questions Interviewer was not satisfied.
I just feel Average. These Reputed product-based Companies are way out of my league.

After 1.8 years as a Data Engineer in a product-based company, I've received an offer for a Decision Science role focused on CDP at a service-based firm.
Current Position:
CTC: ₹11.3 LPA (₹8.9 LPA fixed + ₹2.4 LPA variable). Current location is far from my hometown.
Offer Details:
CTC: ₹13.3 LPA (fully fixed)
Joining Bonus: ₹2.6 LPA (to be returned if leaving within a year)
Variable Pay: 0–21% annually
While the new role offers a higher salary, I'm uncertain about transitioning into Decision Science. Data Engineering aligns more with my skills and offers broader opportunities.

HR asked me to resign with just 10 days of notice period
Hi I'm a commerce graduate, got into IT via a data science course. I'm on a third party payroll working for a bank as a data quality engineer and my package was 3.8lpa fixed+variable. Recently as the financial year is coming to an end, my HR asked me to resign stating me to be incompetent and that the project was revoked from them. Did my research with the bank who I was working with and found that they are re-structuring and doing everything in house. My hr said no variable bonus will be paid as I've just completed 8 months and I needed to complete 1yr. How should I deal with this situation? Also I'm struggling to find a new job.... Any advise? Or openings?

Do I really need to go in Depth into ML?
I have executed/delivered previous ML/DS projects using the code generated by LLMs, my own project schema and debugging skills. But right now Vibe Coding is taking over the market, in which- what or how you coded doesn't matter. The only concerns are- whether you could deliver and how fast you could deliver!
So besides the knowledge of the fundamentals and debugging skills, do I really need to go in-depth into the field of ML/DS techniques? (Considering the fact that I am not aiming for R&D)
