I have just finished 12th grade and I’m feeling overwhelmed by the range of possibilities ahead. Data science, finance, investment banking and analyst roles all appeal to me, yet I’m still unsure which direction truly aligns with my strengths and long-term goals. What I need is a holistic, step-by-step roadmap that covers every aspect of my decision-making process. That includes practical course selection advice, clarity on real-world career opportunities, and a clear picture of the specific skills I should start building right now. In short, I want every piece of relevant information distilled into a plan I can act on immediately. Here’s how I imagine the collaboration: • An in-depth video or voice consultation where we explore my interests, aptitude and ambitions. • A written guidance report summarising the session, listing recommended degree programs, professional courses, and certifications (for example Python, SQL or CFA if they suit the chosen track). • An outline of entry-level roles and future growth paths in data science, finance and investment banking, with approximate timelines and salary ranges where possible. • A month-by-month skill-building timetable showing which hard and soft skills to prioritise and the best resources to use. I am open to additional tools you typically employ—psychometric assessments, aptitude tests, industry frameworks, or anything else that sharpens the advice. My main goal is to leave this engagement confident about the subject I will pursue and the steps I need to take next. I want a free counsellor
