Hey everyone, I’m an MCA 2025 graduate working at an ERP SaaS startup. I was hired as a Support Executive , but I’ve been doing UI/UX work (Figma) as well. My official designation is still Support Executive, and I’m currently in my 8th month. My real interest is AI/ML and GenAI , and I’ve been learning LangChain, LangGraph, RAG, OpenAI, etc., while building projects on the side. I’m planning to complete 1 year here and then switch. My questions are: Is this 1 year of experience useful for AI roles even though my designation is Support Executive? Can I switch to an AI Engineer role if I have strong AI projects and skills? Or is this experience considered irrelevant, and should I start as a fresher? I don’t really have mentors or industry contacts, so I’d appreciate any honest advice from people who’ve made a similar transition. Thanks! submitted by /u/lonelychimtu
