Hi Hardeep, while you have been focusing on the core area of your speciality; another equally important thing to do is reach out to experts with industry experience in your space. While this may sound intimidating, look around you , use your personal & professional network to benefit (LinkedIn , college seniors, alumni, etc). You may also want to explore some internship opportunities to test your competence in the area of specialty you focus on currently! Goodluck!

Hi Lavanya, Great to hear your interest to pursue career & education. That said, since you have completed an Undergrad Degree in Arts Courses, it might be a good idea to first understand which area interests you to pursue your career interests further. Before you choose a particular course , curriculum or academia further it might be good for you to look a) "Inward": Within "you" to understand your varied interests, based on your personality, strength, and area of speciality you had always loved about, your ambition etc. b) "Outward": What is the market opportunity in the external world. Considering your career / education sabbatical it might be a good idea to look at what career opportunities lie in the market. Check this web link: https://www.jobsforher.com/ , refer to newspaper in jobs section, etc. to understand the market better ! The best is to strike the balance between the above two! Goodluck!
