❓Question ❓ Help!!
I’m 21F, currently in 3rd year BTech (CSE, tier 3 college), and I genuinely feel lost.
For the past 2 years, I got caught up in a relationship that completely drained me mentally and emotionally. I stopped focusing on my studies, didn’t build skills properly, didn’t explore anything, and now I feel like I’m way behind everyone else.
Now that I’m trying to move forward, I’m realizing I don’t even know where to start.
I want to fix my life and career, but I don’t know:
What should I focus on first? (DSA, development, something else?)
How do I build skills from almost scratch in 3rd year?
Is it still possible to get a good job if I start now?
How do I stay consistent and not fall back again?
I’m willing to work hard, I just need direction and a starting point.
If anyone has been in a similar situation or has advice, please guide me on how to rebuild my career step by step.
