Hi Rishikesh, one career advice which people usually realizes late in life, is the knowledge they posses. Usually in start of the career, people tend to stick to one technology and don't realize that gaining knowledge should be their main goal at the start of their careers, as that's the phase of any career where you could learn as much as you want. Learning or working on different technologies makes you aware of the new technologies and gives you exposure of other IT domains. This would help you in deciding which specific field you are interested in.
Freshers usually keeps on working on the technology they first worked on and later realizes that switching to some other domain is a bit difficult to them as they are completely unaware of other technologies. So always try to learn new things, and keep exploring for options.

Hi,

Choosing your career should be the basic fundamental once you are pursuing any degree. You should have a basic idea that on what domain you want to see your future,because this is a basic mistake people do in the initial stage of there career.

Once people are with some random jobs just sake of earning they suffer the most because after that they feel clueless. If you belong from technical field make sure you go for IT sector to learn and make use of that.

Choose wisely so that you should not regret later.
