The situation is, some awesome people at my institute are starting up a logistic based platform, which is going to be great (no doubts here). I was asked to join them, I loved the product they have currently.

But the other part of the game is, along my journey at the institute here, I have created a passion for Open Source and some exciting fields of the computer science.

I (kind of) believe that I come up with too many ideas, ranging from anything to everything, I try to note them down and work on them to reflect them on my GitHub[1] and my blog[2].

I have a strong attraction towards 'Data Science', 'Systems & Infrastructure' and 'Distributed Systems'.

Last year, I found out about Datadog[3] while working on the 'GitHub's 3rd Data Challenge'. I immediately loved the organization because it deals with all the things I like(Data & Infrastructure), so I applied for an engineering internship, went through the interview process and got the job. But later things went wrong and I wasn't able to go through the visa process.

On applying again, being pessimistic I think about not getting the visa (H1-B) this time too.

Initially I wasn't interested in studying higher but now I'm getting a feeling for it, not because I'm out of other options, just because I have some things in my list(to-do) relating to academia and I would love to see them happening. Although I can't go for it anytime soon, because I don't have that much money.

So the situation is, what to do? The Startup is going to be awesome, their product is great but I'm lacking a strong ignition towards it, that I see while working on my own little projects. Not sure if it's because of my addiction towards it.
