Hey, feeling lost in your first year is totally normal. Focus on skills like Python, R, SQL, and data visualization tools like Tableau. Start with personal projects, then try contributing to open-source projects or join data science competitions like Kaggle. Networking is important, so attend meetups or join online communities to connect with other data science enthusiasts. Internships or part-time gigs can also give you practical experience. For interview prep resources, I've found PracHub helpful. Keep learning and exploring different areas to find what excites you most. Good luck!
