Please help me out guys, really badly need some perspective to how to move forward with my future, I am completely stuck!
I am a 2025 graduate from CS from tier tier 3 college. I really need your guys perspective if I am job worthy or if I even can become to be job worthy from the position I am in.
I got placed in the first company itself which turned out to be a testing role and there was no learning environment their but the work culture was good we interns literally played table tennis whole day and those guys had no problem I raised some concerns several times but the company was taking things lightly too the first 2 months were a total waste. The 3rd month they taught us something and told me that onboarding will start but we have to sign a 3 year bond with a 600k penalty check. I did not liked the tech stack so I resigned.
Since then I am unemployed not to gain sympathy but I've also struggled with mental health for the past few years and I did not work on any skills since the past few months I was unemployed and my family is asking everyday to which way my future is heading. On the technical side of things I am no genius either, I only managed 7.48 CGPA in a tier 3 college.
- I know concepts of ML, Dsa, oops on fundamental and theoretical level. I am able to solve dsa questions based on arrays and have completed 60 ques from a2z sheet. I have done questions using c++ and python.
- I don't know slightest of development though I have 2 projects (Enquiry chatbot, Instagram Sentiment Analysis) based on ML so I know a bit of tensorflow. I absolutely don't know things like flask or django or anything like that recently started learning django and did not understand the documentation.
I am really afraid I have forgotten almost all the dsa questions I did and don't know development. I am not even job worthy or I don't even know if I can become. I am absolutely spiralling whether to do dsa or learn development. I don't even know SQL!
Please give some advice or suggestion or perspective anything is welcome. If you've read this thank you!
