Hello everyone!
So today I will be asking some very important questions which many others might relate to. Your advice might influence my decision so its a request to answer this if you have reasonable amount of experience in the IT industry.
My short intro:
I am 26 year old. Completed my Bachelors in Cs with a cgpa 2.8/4 in July and now doing job as an ASE at an onsite company. As my degree started I was struggling in coding. So it was fear of failing subjects and other factors too which didn't allow me to build good coding practices and strong foundation. I also think that I am naturally a slow learner when it comes to grasping technical stuff. Still I worked hard in university, failed some subjects like Data Structures and Assembly Language. Apart from this I am excellent in communication skills and have got A grades in all such subjects. Presenting technical things in a fine manner is my biggest strength I believe. The reason I choose this career was the job security. I got job offer even before graduation and am earning a good salary as a fresher.
Problems I am facing now:
Since I didn't developed myself as a good coder at University, I am facing problems now. Debugging the code and then getting errors again and again, not completing tasks on time , all of this frustrates me and reminds me that I am just not good enough for this career.
I believe that at least 1 thing is required as a developer. Either you are passionate in solving problems and debugging the errors OR you are technically very strong.
Options I have right now :
1) Continue to stick in this field. Utilize weekends and do work till late night to solve the problems been given in the projects. Improve coding practice in free time by platforms like Leetcode etc.
2) Learn frameworks like React during the weekends. Make good amount of projects by my own and then apply for React jobs(abundant jobs)
2) Work for 1 year at this company and then switch to QA job and then move abroad for better opportunities.
3) Work for 1 year at this company and then switch to Business Analyst job and move abroad for better opportunities.
Important conclusion:
Important thing is that you must enjoy at least 75% of your time at work. Otherwise I don't think its worth it. My gut feeling is that I would be a very good fit in business analyst job but job ratio in my country is very less so I would have to shift abroad.
Looking forward for your advises.
