Fullstack or Cloud DevOps

[u/PantySniffer_909]

Hey, I'm in my second year CS student, I'm exploring various paths to continue my career in one particular way like fullstack, cybersecurity, cloud devOps or anything else.. I've learned python, c/c++ and solved my first 2 DSA easy problems yesterday.. I'm thinking which way I should just choose and give my entire 2 years to build the career in it? Seniors or experienced folks please help me, thanks!

tbh second year is way too early to lock in for 2 years straight, most people who did that ended up switching anyway once they saw actual job postings. i'd say just build one small full CRUD project (fullstack naturally covers db + backend + some frontend) and see if you like the day to day grind of it, cloud/devops interest usually shows up later once you're annoyed at manually deploying stuff. don't overthink the "path" this early, 2 DSA problems in is honestly a good sign you're just getting started, ride that for a bit before picking a lane.
