What advice will you give to people who are just starting their journey into the field of computer science?
Don't run for a job change within a year. (If things are going well)
Don't run for government jobs, just by seeing others, life is more fun in IT. (Don't consider this point if you are determined for govt job)
You will definitely compare yourself with your colleagues / Friends, so for those
If others are getting more salary than you, just keep this in mind that eventually, everyone will grow.
If you are on the bench, and others are working, just keep this in mind, industry experience is counted the same in both cases.
If others are working in Big companies like Microsoft or Adobe, and you are just in a startup, just keep this in mind, the carrier is an endless journey, it is not a 4 or 5-year course. you can get into these big firms later too.
If others are going onsite within 6 months or less, just keep this in mind, it's a business requirement, there is no special skill set is needed for it. if you were there, you would have gone.
If you get fascinated by ML and AI, try to read a lot about these things. Don't blindly trust any carrier path. An IT Carrier can have many paths to follow, choose the one in which you can go as long as possible.
If you think, you are doing nothing by seeing others LinkedIn profile like ML Enthusiast etc, believe me, LinkedIn is a portfolio, to showcase what you are doing, what you can do, and what you want to do. So update your skills too on LinkedIn.
Don't wait for projects to get learning. Learn by yourself every day.
Those who think, life changes in job, its a mindset, you can do miracles even working for 11 hours a day.
If you are a good competitive programmer, it would be easy for you to crack interviews, but it would be tougher for you to get stable in a job.
Work on communication skills too.
Prepare a one-page resume. (It is highly recommended)
Drink less sugar in coffee.
Most important, Enjoy the starting phase of the carrier.
