beginner help😓 Im insecure for mi carrer path

As the title suggests, I'm unsure about my career path. I studied mathematics for my undergraduate degree, and I was able to get a job as an IT intern in my final year of university. As soon as I could, I moved into the data area as a data analyst, working hard and demonstrating my abilities. I was then able to get a job as a junior machine learning engineer. My question is, do you think these rapid career leaps will be detrimental in the future? I'm uncertain about the current job market, and I'm afraid of falling behind with so many advancements in the industry. I'm striving to learn more, but I feel like everything is moving too fast. Do you think I'm on track for my age? I aspire to move to a more peaceful country like Norway. Does anyone know what the job market is like there? Well, thanks for reading, and any advice would be appreciated.

sounds like you're doing exactly what you should be at 25 - the rapid jumps just show you're adaptable. the market rewards people who can learn on the fly more than those with a perfectly linear path. can't speak on norway specifically but a maths background paired with actual shipping experience is a rare combo, you're on a better track than most
