I'm torn between two career paths: data engineering with Python and Windows app development. If you work in either of these fields, I'd love to hear what a typical day looks like for you. Any insights would be appreciated!

Honestly, Windows app development isn't the most exciting option. It can feel a bit outdated compared to other fields.
I faced the same dilemma when I was starting out. I wasn't sure whether to dive into app development or stick with backend and data work. What helped me was experimenting with Python, and now I’m building crypto trading bots and market scanners. My suggestion? Spend a week or two trying both areas. If you enjoy logical problem-solving, data engineering might be a great fit. But if you like crafting user interfaces, then app development could be your jam!
That's a solid plan! I’ve decided to focus on data for a month to see where it leads. I enjoy C# and the backend aspect, but UI stuff doesn't excite me as much.
I feel you on that! I like backend coding way more than dealing with UI. But I'm stuck hopping between languages without really committing to any project.
