My biggest perspective change came with the realization that as Christians we are ALL called to ministry. I used to subscribe to the idea that that meant becoming a pastor or missionary. However ministry doesn't only happen in church. We are all called to be channels of God's blessing, wherever and whatever we are doing. This means that the agency I work at is my mission field. God placed me there to be a Christian. Serving my coworkers by being the best employee I can be. Treating them with grace and a heart of service and as a reflection of God's glory. If where you are right now is a struggle, and seemingly beyond yourself, then one way to look at it is as a blessing. Things beyond ourselves means that they are God sized tasks. Meaning God has taken interest in your life enough to have you participate in a plan that is God sized. Try to see your work as your place of ministry. Coworkers, bosses, and clients are all in need of Christ as much as we who are believers need him daily. God has entrusted us to be a channel of his blessing to those people. He wants to partner with us to expand His kingdom. Thus when we are stewards of our work, then we serve the people we work with, and that to God is a daily form of worship outside of our weekend time with God. I know this was kind of a ramble but I hope that it brings you hope in God's goodness and love for you and the people you work with.

I am planning to shift to Data Analyst/Data scientist role. Right now i work for a project where I'm a software eng & we have to maintain our application on C++ code. It is more like support/dev and unit testing combined. Coding is hardly involved and my hold on DS is weak so not sure if I'll be able to crack technical interviews for C++ dev or anything similar.
So is this a right decision to move from application dev role to Data Science/analyst field? Does software engineer gets paid more?

Welp. Had an interview scheduled for this morning for 30 mins. I join the webex & nothing. I email the recruiter after 15 mins and get a response saying the interviewer had something come up and would like to reschedule. Is it dramatic of me to be bothered by the fact they didn’t even apologize? Meanwhile, I have another interview for a different company Monday & the recruiter reached out today asking if I had any questions or do a zoom test run.
