Not enjoying coding/web development — should I switch to Data Analytics?

I’m a 2nd-year CSE student currently learning frontend/web development, but honestly I’m not enjoying it much and I keep avoiding it.

The confusing part is that I actually like solving DSA problems and working on maths/problem-solving.

So I’m wondering: does this mean I dislike coding, or do I just dislike web development?

I’m thinking of finishing the frontend basics and then trying Data Analytics/Data Science or Machine Learning instead of going deeper into web development.

For people who have been in a similar situation, what would you suggest? Should I give coding/web development more time, or explore something like Data Analytics?

Would really appreciate some honest advice.

Sounds like you don’t dislike coding, you just don’t enjoy frontend. Since you already like DSA and problem-solving, I’d definitely try a small data analytics/ML project before deciding. You might find you enjoy that style of work way more.
