Well. my answer is No!

Here is my story. In the end please let me know my decision was good or not.

Designation: Frontend Engineer
Experience: 5 Years
Skills: Html, Css, Scss, JavaScript, TypeScript, Angular, C, Website Optimization, DS etc.

You will be shocked to know that I am from commerce field. I know you will not believe but yes it is true. I have completed my B.com in 2014. That time I was an Accountant too and working in a well export management company as an Accountant. I was started doing a job just after my 12th exams. After the completion of B.com, my planning was to do an MBA. Thanks to one of my friend he suggested me to do SEO course. I even don’t have a little knowledge about anything in IT. I visited a few institutes and finally decided to do Graphic & Web design development from Arena Animation. That was a 1.5years course. I can’t tell you about that year my schedule was too tight. Morning 7 to 11:30 classes then office then again evening classes at the end when I reached home again I do practice till 12'o clock. The same routine I follow for 1.5 years. Then I decided to leave the accountant field and join IT. No one agreed with that decision except my Mom. But I thought let’s take a risk and start a new journey from 0 no issues. Well said by Swami Vivekananda :

“Take Risks in Your Life If u Win, U Can Lead! If u Lose, U Can Guide!”

I got my first job as a web designer in one startup company. After that, I got selected in one of the best company in Indore called Cyber Infrastructure. I worked there for 3.5 years & learned so many things. I have to say what I am today because of that company, my seniors & talented colleagues. I am happy that I was a part of CIS. Thanks, CIS family.

In 2019 I got a job in Hyderabad. yes, IT hub. I didn’t imagine that I will go out of my hometown. It was like a dream. It changed my life. I improved my life personally and professionally too.
I enjoyed, I learned, I worked everything I am doing in Hyderabad. Literally, I have to accept in a metro city like Hyderabad you will learn so many things. It is the best for IT employees.

Currently, I am working in very good company. Learning too many new things. Developing myself too. I am facing daily new

Conclusion

I am happy that I have chosen the IT field. If you decide that you want to do it you can do it. I know my logic is not so good but I am still trying to learn it. At the end, I must say :

I want to run, I want to fall, I want to handle, I want to learn, But I do not want to stop.
