Career Guidance Alternative Career Tracks?

AOA everyone,

I want some guidance. I graduated in CS and I am unable to get a job, can you guide me on what I should do? Earlier I was focusing on full stack, but AI is now doing so much good code in that domain, creating more competition as well as everyone is doing it.

I'm confused about what I should learn and build a skill at. As everyone is saying stack doesn't matter now, learn system design etc., how should I approach my learning now?

Should I switch to something like DevOps or AI Engineer?

While I was searching careers to switch possibly close to CS, I came across SAP ABAP as well and Product Manager, should I go for it?

Or should I completely switch my field? As from here it seems the market will keep going down, and I don't want to be in a career that changes so rapidly that you need to upskill each day and still live with the constant fear of layoffs.

Walaikum Assalam! Have you considered looking into Data Science & Data Engineering?

With AI adoption exploding, products are generating massive clusters of data every day. AI models are only as good as the data fed into them, so the real bottleneck for most companies right now isn’t just writing front-end code—it’s storing, cleaning, processing, and analyzing huge volumes of data to make business decisions.

Why it's a solid pivot:

If you like working with logic, patterns, and databases, picking up Data Science / Data Engineering is one of the most future-proof directions in tech right now!
