Excellent conversation, I liked Zach's energy and down to earth tips 😃

[@RedShipsofSpainAgain]

2:56. "Dude I get like 30 minutes a day to work on things!" This 100%. The main thing I hate about back when I had to go into an office was how long it would take me to get my work done due to being constantly interrupted by bosses/coworkers every 10 minutes. Ever since working from my home office, I am able to focus and do deep work without interruption; much more productive than back when I had to physically go into an office. The RTO mandate is so dumb; it's a great way to watch worker productivity plummet.

[@franciscajara8876]

I simply can't choose between becoming a data analyst and then striving to become a data engineer, or becoming a sysadmin and then striving to become a cybersecurity analyst. These are IT fields I'm deeply interested in. Can someone give me their opinion on which path is more realistic to pursue?

[@CK30585]

Just enter any of the 3 fields you find and then move towards your favorite stream. This is not the time to be a choosy.

[@raysam1]

Choose the field you can access a trainer now and start learning. Don't wait!

[@GAZ___]

Try all of them. You're interested on them on a high level point of view, when you actually try these paths your self and play around with the stuff you learn, you'll understand these fields at least in an intermediate level, and you'll eventually find pros and cons in each field and you'll be knowledgeable enough to choose which one suits you best. And trust me, people's opinions don't mean nothing, no one knows you better than your self.

[@DistrictGentleman]

He coded every day, even on the weekends for over a decade. He was building his own apps before he even got hired by a big tech company. He loves what he does. He saw opportunities open to him while working at FB. He took advantage of that opportunity, took a job that was tough for him and he wasn't quite ready for. it didn't work out but it prepared him for the next job, and he grew from there. There is no luck here, he had the desire, was consistent with growing his skill to a high level, and he was persistent. No successful person would look at his story and say "He got lucky". Success is not luck, success is a mindset.

Please reply must because I am also learning skills and these things are like breaking motivation and interest to the data science

[@apricotmadness4850]

Tools will come and go. You need to be able to adapt until you can’t offer anything of value anymore. At that point; you either venture out and make something with the skills you developed or pursue another career entirely. AI will one day replace the majority of jobs including software engineering but it won’t be anytime soon especially with just generative AI and the insane cost it takes to simply keep them running despite no real profit being shown yet for many companies. Learn what your passionate about and by the the time AGI comes; you’ll be comfortably retired taking universal checks from the government on top of your retirement.
