Struggled with DSA as a Backend Developer — Considering a Switch to Data Analyst. Is This the Right Move?
I’ve been working as a backend web developer, and for the past year, I dedicated myself to learning Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA). Despite giving it my all, I couldn’t get a proper grasp of it — I genuinely struggled to understand the concepts. To add some context, I’m from a BCA not a engineering background, so DSA has been particularly tough for me to crack. Still, I didn’t give up easily — I tried for a whole year, but it just didn’t click. That said, I don’t want to stop growing in my career just because I failed at something. I’ve done some self-reflection and research, and I feel drawn toward the field of Data Analytics. Before getting into backend development, I worked in operations, where I used to interact with clients, gather requirements, and pass them on to the tech team. So, I already have some exposure to data and communication. Combining that with my coding background, I believe I can bring value as a Data Analyst. I know I failed with DSA, but I’m ready to give 100% again — this time in a field that aligns more with how I think and work. Does this career switch make sense? Has anyone here gone through something similar? I’d really appreciate any advice or honest thoughts.
