Career Guidance For 4th semester student !!
Hi everyone,
I’m a Software Engineering student at a university in Lahore. I’ve completed 4 semesters and gpa also not good :( and I’m currently on my summer break, so I want to make the most of this time by focusing on the right skill.
So far I’ve learned HTML, CSS, React, and Django, and I can build basic projects. But almost everyone around me is learning the MERN stack, which makes me wonder if Django is still a good long-term choice.
My goal is to get internships, freelance work, and eventually a software engineering job.
Should I:
Stick with Django + React?
Switch to MERN?
Or consider a different path altogether?
If you were in my position in 2026, what would you focus on?
Guide me that does GPA really does matter and
Also guide me through the career path so i can choose that path.
I’d really appreciate honest advice from people in the industry. Thanks!
