Anybody have advice for how I would start moving my career to more specialized work? Ive been working on help desk for 8 months now and I have most of it down. I’ve been automating very basic tasks using power and wondering how I would move to being an actual developer rather than making tiny scripts that move my mouse up and down. Lol. Also learning powershell automation. If anyone could help me with direction and what careers I should be looking out for would be awesome.

Hello,
I’m a junior data scientist and in my current job I mostly code using Pyspark (no machine learning) so I would like to work on a side project that could leverage my profile and data science/ML skills. What project would you advice me to work on ? (it can be a kaggle project, or a classic task that you do at your job, or a paper that you read).
I’m overwhelmed by the many suggestions online and would prefer to get a suggestion directly from professionals.
PS : I’m not a beginner.
