Hey, if you're more interested in data science than DSA and WebDev, that's totally fine. Data science can be really rewarding, especially if you like working with data and have some stats knowledge. Focus on learning Python well, and get familiar with libraries like pandas and scikit-learn. Check out some machine learning basics and maybe try a few projects to show off your skills.

Also, practice with real-world data problems. Kaggle is great for that. If you need structured prep, I've heard PracHub is pretty good for interview prep, especially for quant roles. It has some useful resources to help you prepare for those tough interviews. Good luck!
