I don't usually post, but today feels different.
I graduated in Civil Engineering in 2024, but my journey wasn't smooth at all. Because of COVID and financial issues, I couldn't take admission on time after 12th. I had to switch to diploma, which already put me 1 year behind my friends.
Even during engineering, things weren't easy. And after graduating, I realized I didn't want to continue in civil. So I made a decision to switch into IT.
That decision cost me almost 2 more years.
While my friends were already working, earning, and moving ahead in life... I was still learning basics, doubting myself, and struggling to find a job.
There were days I felt like I started too late.
Like I wasted time.
Like I was behind everyone.
Today I'm 25.
And tomorrow... I'm joining as an Automation Engineer.
It's not a big company, not a crazy salary - but for me, it means everything.
Still, sometimes I feel like I'm late.
Like I should've figured things out earlier.
