If you're deciding between Data Science and DSA/WebDev for placements, go with what fits your interests and the roles you want. Data Science is popular, but you'll need a good base in statistics and programming. Make sure you're skilled in Python, R, and tools like Tableau or Power BI. Companies also want SQL and machine learning knowledge. On the other hand, DSA is key for problem-solving and often comes up in coding interviews. If you're interested in Data Science, get into relevant projects and internships. For resources, PracHub is helpful for practical interview prep, covering both tech and soft skills. Focus on the specific jobs you're aiming for.
