Confused about my career

I am an MBA HR and Finance Graduate, currently working as a Business Development executive for 10 months. I am thinking about changing my job from BDE to HR. And I am confused about searching for jobs. I also have plans to do a Data analytics course . 1, Should I continue to do BDE? Does this field have growth ? 2, should I search for a HR job? Does this field have growth for males? 3, should I go learn Data analytics course? Does this have any opportunity for working abroad? It would be great if anyone with experience could mentor or give advice for this dilemma of mine .. thank you in advance.

Hey there everyone, I hope you all are having a wonderful day. I'll get straight to the point, I've been applying for jobs for last 3 months and i haven't got a single call back or interview calls from anywhere, I've applied to 100 of companies, from entry level job to mid senior level job, I've tried every job portal, I've tried getting referrals, hell I've sent 500+ cold emails, I've also tried tailoring my resume for the role. Now a little bit about myself: I'm currently working as a product analyst and have 3 YOE. I did my b.tech from tier 1 college and graduated in 2021. Right after graduation i got a job with a decent package. So considering my profile and YOE, it shouldn't be this hard tp get a job or even a call back!! Can anyone tell me what am i doing wrong?, or anyone care to give any tips. Ps: why the hell are companies asking for 5-6 YOE for an analyst profile??!!! Thanks y'all Cheers

Hello people, I graduated last year and joined a fast-paced startup back in july as an SDE (2023 grad). So many things have changed so far within the company. Company has closed good series B funding. The top level management has changed, my manager and colleagues resigned due to the kind of work and cultural shift and lots of work but I stood there and delivered projects (was making them from scratch). Whatever was thrown on me during this time, I took that as an opportunity and delivered that. I literally worked on 4-5 tech stacks and built complex projects from scratch with 3 members team only. Now it seems like their ask is never ending and they again want me to put in another techstack since the existing products we built are working fine and we are just maintaining it now. The culture of the company is still very good despite having lots of work though the pay is above average. I am seeing my friends around me joining another company and getting much better hikes. I also want to make a switch but deep down in my heart I have these questions coming up: 1. Should I switch before completing 2 years since it's my first job and I have spent only 1 year so far here. I really don't want to make this habit of switching again and again. 2. The kind of bonding I have made with my colleagues so far. Will I be able to get the same environment in the new company? 3. Should I join the startup again or should I target MNCs now. Because I have been building multiple complex projects for the past 1.7 years (this is my 3rd startup) from scratch and this is also getting normalized for me. Is it time to work on a scale? 4. Feel less valued sometimes. Despite delivering lots of efforts, it seems like I am not getting valued much because it's kinda hardware company and things go around that only. 5. Although, I am working on complex projects here but sometimes I feel missing out if I hear what others are doing. Should I go to a pure software based company? 6. I am not making much here to be honest despite having much better coding skills (10 base + 2.5 PB + 2.5 VP) but I am able to manage my money well despite living in Bangalore. Should I be hungry for more? I would be happy to read your opinion on these guys.

- I recently given my final year exams of B.tech (cse) in June 2024. - Currently working remotely as fullstack engineer intern from last 4 months (25k stipend p.m), will get final decision about PPO in August. - after working I don't really like the culture of the company and I am also not seeing any growth in this company, so I have made my mind to not work at here any more. - at the same time I am feeling that I have lost my interest in programming , I don't know why but the idea of growing as a software developer in career i.e sde1->sde2....tech lead -> CTO is not exciting to me right now. - I come from very humble background, I am the first graduate in my family, I have done B.Tech by taking education loan of (4.95lakh), I have no senior whom I can talk to about my situation and who can genuinely guide me . - my family financial condition is very poor, I have 2 siblings who need money for their education as well, I need money to eliminate the daily unnecessary financial worries/disputes in my family. - I enrolled into Btech in 2020 by seeing all the high packages people are getting right after college , so I thought the career prospects are good after doing Btech in cse , apart from this I always had this thought of doing my own venture sometime in future and I thought business knowledge can be gained easily than the techincal knowledge so let's first gain the hard to acquire knowledge i.e technical (programming) because in today's age every business is a tech first business. - I had initial plan of getting a high paying job (1lakh/month) ,improve my family financial situation, save money in order to invest in my ventures and create secondary sources of income and then leave my job - but now I have realised that I had started out with a wrong goal in the first place ,(my assumption was that once I get a high paying job as sde I will only work for 9-5 and rest of the time will be spend on side hustles(investing,real estate,ventures etc)) - this is not the reality in my current understanding, as due to competition I need to spend all my time and energy on one thing in order to get success. - the idea of spending all my time and energy to become a good sde looks limiting to me as in future it will only open doors to sde roles and I will not get roles where I can contribute to the business side (which I am interested in) - my loan repayment will start from from next year June. - I want roles where I can contribute directly to the business side of company, roles that give me the real insights about the market (i.e business analyst, data analyst, consultant, P.M etc) - when I think of leaving what I am currently doing and prepare for such roles I got horrified by the idea of starting from scratch , and not getting the new job role timely before my loan repayment starts . What should I do pls guide me as a mentor/big brother 🙏🏻 . . . .

Hey everyone, seeking some career advice here. So, I've been grinding away in the risk domain at a big financial services MNC for about 2 years now ( have total experience of 5 years from similar companies), pulling in around 30 lakhs INR. Recently, I got a bit curious about what else is out there, so I started poking around. But here's the kicker – every HR rep I chat with says my pay is cool, but they're eyeing up MBA grads from fancy schools for the budget I'm looking out for. Thing is, I know my stuff. I've snagged awards, jumped up the ladder faster. But now I'm starting to sweat about whether my lack of an MBA is gonna bite me in the rear down the line. Plus, with all the chatter about layoffs, I'm low-key freaking about whether my gig here is as solid as I thought. Any advice on how to navigate this maze? Should I bite the bullet and go for that MBA, or stick to my guns and trust that my track record speaks for itself? Appreciate any wisdom y'all can drop!

Graduated from NMIMS in 2023- BSc Finance. Interned at some marquee IB firms and startups. Working at an NBFC in an MD's office role- Strategy Consultant since then. Having done multiple projects for the company, I now want to switch to a consulting company where I can have a more diversified set of projects. But the market being the way it is, I'm not able to find reasonably good opportunities on LinkedIn. How do I go about the whole thing then? Would be grateful for any suggestion or referrals.

I have been applying for data analyst and junior data scientists role for the last 3 months but not getting enough response. I apply for more than 20+ jobs on daily basis lekin tab bhi kuch nhi ho rha hai. I have built 2 project on ML, 1 on NLP and 3-4 good project on data analytics. I graduated in May 2023 then I decided to learn Data science ( uske pehle bhi college me 3-4 mahine thoda padha tha) now I have so many doubts regarding my career and rejection - Just because I'm fresher that's why they are not choosing me ?? - I'm from non-tech ( Bsc) .. isiliye - or current job market hi accha nhi hai Ab to kabhi kabhi apne decision pr regret bhi hota hai. To solve the experience issue I have decided to do a decent marketing job (only for 6-7months) so that I can show it in my CV aur kuch savings bhi kr lu. Please guide me if you guys have any advice for me. Thanks.

Hey folks. I am a PM with 1 YOE. I make a lot of unforced errors and have been in bad situations because of poor communication too. Although, I try my best to communicate everything and anything. The founder just hear me speak and not to hear specifically. I am gradually feeling, that maybe I am not good enough to survive in this role. On the other hand, I am pretty much interested in finance. Am above average in hard skills named as Financial Modelling, Financial Statement Analysis, Deal Structuring and Valuation Techniques. I read pre IPO papers to understand more about industries and sectors. Do financial modelling for the same companies to check if I am on the right track or not. How can I switch to a finance role maybe? Or what other fields should I explore to get out of this. I have graduation in BTech. P. S. - Need some serious help. Thanks in advance.
