I'm 21F and completed my BCA in 2024 with specialization in Data Science. Luckily, I landed a job right after graduation - currently working at Accenture.
Now here's the catch: during my probation, I was trained in Networking (wasn't really given a choice), and naturally, I got staffed on a Networking project. My current tech stack includes: •Azure Cloud •Palo Alto •ServiceNOW •F5 Load Balancer •Aviatrix
Now, despite having a Data Science background, I'm working full-time in Networking. But since I'm pursuing my Master's with an Al/ML specialization, I've been wondering...
How realistic is it to switch from Networking to Al?
I'll be honest: my interest in Al is there, but it's not super deep yet. I'm just curious about the field and its future potential. Since I'm still at the very beginning of my career, I'm completely open to switching my tech stack if it means stepping into a space that has higher demand and less competition over time.
I do understand that both Networking and Al are strong fields with solid career paths. But right now, I'm trying to figure out where to focus my energy whether to continue down the Networking route I've started on, or to pivot and start building toward AI ?
Would love to hear from folks who've been there at similar crossroads. What would you do in my position?
