Scholar Bond

Advice on career path

Hi guys. Need some opinion and advice. Im a recent data science graduate. Currently under a 5-year scholarship bond and was placed in customer service role (just joined recently).

My concern is:

1. I genuinely like data science (especially AI) and want to continue my career path in data science field.

2. Not able to switch into another role for atleast 2 years. And as a fresh grad with 0 experience other than my internship, I doubt it would be easy for me to move internally into IT division.

3. If I would stay in this current role for 5 years, I might need to start my data scientist career as a fresh grad since there’s totally 0 correlation.

4. Im concerned about the market of customer service in the future.

5. I have 0 interest in my current position.

So I had some alternatives on my mind:

1. Get a placement in another company and pay the 122k bond to my scholar.

2. Serve for atleast 2-3 years, pay the remaining bond and start working in another company.

3. Stay in the current role for 2 years and try for internal transfer in IT division (unlikely to be accepted bcs of lack of experience)

Would really appreciate any advice or personal experience🙏🏻🙏🏻
