“im a new grad (may 2026), and earlier this past month i landed a data analyst role with an august 2027 start (rotational program). i majored in data science and computer science, with a minor in business administration. though i do not have any formal compliance experience, i…”
“I have a degree in data science and have been working full time for about 4 years now. I started out doing dashboards and data analysis and eventually moved into a "data science" role at a big bank. The job title sounds more technical than the actual job is though, as there is…”
“I just finished my BTech in Data Science. Initially, I was looking for data analyst and business analyst roles, and right now I'm learning SQL and Excel. I have zero knowledge of Power BI, but I'm planning to learn it this month. I am willing to give my best for 7 hrs a day I…”
Multiple users, particularly computer science students and recent graduates, are seeking advice on how to secure high-paying entry-level positions. They ask about skills to develop (DSA, LeetCode), tech stacks to master, project building, target companies, and internship opportunities.

“I have a degree in data science and have been working full time for about 4 years now. I started out doing dashboards and data analysis and eventually moved into a "data science" role at a big bank. The job title sounds more technical than the actual job is though, as there is still quite a lot of analytics and working with stakeholders involved. A lot of people I went to uni with ended up going into data engineering, AI engineering, etc. and are now in pretty technical roles. I have d”

“Fresher with SQL + Power BI analyst project experience, trying to figure out a realistic timeline to become competitive for Associate Data Scientist / Data Scientist roles at larger companies. Currently learning Python/pandas, planning to build one solid end-to-end ML project (currently doing loan default risk prediction) rather than collecting courses. For people who made this transition (analyst-leaning background → data scientist): Realistically, how long did it take you to go from 'knows”
“so i was thinking of taking a drop to aim for IIT as this year i did not give it srsly(studied for around a month and ended up scoring 62%ile). BUT my parents are against they think if you r not getting 99%ile next year then its of no use (im GEN M), and tbh in 4 onths im not rllly confident tht i can bring 99%ile, but till 90%ile i can get...(btw in 12th i only got 61%age as i was sick) I talked to one of the professors form COEP and she said college name and 12th marks matter only in your FIRS”
“Hi everyone, I’m a B.Sc Computer Science student graduating in 2027. I want to aim for 10+ LPA fresher roles instead of blindly applying everywhere. What should I focus on from now? DSA / LeetCode — how much? Which tech stack should I master? Projects / internships? Which companies should I target for B.Sc CS? How to find and apply for off-campus opportunities? Any roadmap for the next 10–12 months? Would really appreciate advice from people who have actually landed 10+ LPA fresher/product-compa”
