What made you realize that science was the right path for you?

Science was not the right path for me because it is cold, heartless, and soulless. It is a field where you are only as good as your latest experiment or discovery, and there is no room for emotions or feelings. I left a couple years ago and went fully into research.

Science has always been a subject that I have had a natural interest in. I loved asking questions and trying to find the answers. I also really enjoy problem solving, which is a key component of science.

When I was in high school, I did an internship in a biology lab and that is when I realized that science was the right path for me. I loved being in the lab and working on experiments. It was so exciting to see the results of my work and to be able to learn new things. I knew then that I wanted to pursue a career in science.

Hi All!
This is my first post in Fishbowl, I'm looking for some genuine guidance on below query.

I have a total of 8.1 yrs of development experience in Java, Bigdata and Hadoop (new to it).
I got an offer from Capgemini for Manager/C2 designation with a CTC of 24 LPA. I just wanted to know the roles and responsibilities at this designation.
Will it be a profile shift from technical to managerial position or is just a designation (as per HR) the actual job would be to lead/guide any team?
Thanks
