hey ! i can so much co relate to your story, me being in 3rd year i did rigorous ML the proper traditional ML cs229, then cs224n nlp with DL and a lot, my friend told until unless u do research or some masters the oppurtunities are very limited that to me being from a tier3 clg, then now from 2 week i have been following harkirat cohort3 and planning to go with just fullstack and understand everything in cs perspective and get a job asap rather jumping around. so it has been a gud journey but still felt low but after seeing ur post i was like "i can also do this", so me being at the same place where u are right now please give some REAL ADVICE how to do things like u, (btw ur website and projects are lit ;) ). thank u if u have read until now, waiting for u r reply
