Challenges with Career transition

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I am 26M with close to 3 years of work experience and a MBA from a tier 1 college. I make decent salary, however I am not really enjoying my job. I am also depressed from working very hard the past 5 years with graduation, Covid and job Etc. I just want to take a few months off and focus on my mental/physical health. I also want to prepare for Product roles and try out some business/freelancing ideas I have.

My concern is how Career gaps are treated like a stigma in the industry. Like what was the use of working so hard and getting qualifications, if I cannot take a few months in between jobs to focus on myself. Can someone help me get some perspective?

Is a career break really that bad in this country?

Need a advice on 5 years career gap

I have total 6 years of experience working in product strategy roles in a couple of known unicorns and from tier 1 engg and MBA colleges. 

My team was dissolved back in nov 2022. I have been on a break since then as i had to oversee construction of our rental property back in my hometown. It was long pending. It is a vital income stream for my family. 

I have been trying for a job for last 2 weeks. I haven't been able to get interviews aligned in product / strategy domain.

Now I am getting restless. I don't know why hiring POCs are not reverting to my interests. Need help here folks. Am I in a soup due to career gap? What can I do to overcome this situation? Good ideas are highly welcome :)

Need urgent help..not getting calls :/

Career breaks

Hi everyone, I was working for a startup for about 1.5 years and I was doing quite well. then my mind thought of exploring other industries so I quit my job and started looking for jobs in other industries and landed on one after 3 months of quitting. And that company was not open to learning or engaging anything apart from my JD and I was not happy as I was working only for an hour of the day (basically I was doing nothing). It was frustrating as I was paying 200 for auto everyday for doing nothing so I left that job and started looking for jobs and this next company was supposed to be a game changer in my career but it was toxic I told my manager how I feel about it and he convinced me that I'll be working only with him. But that one day everything crossed the limit. And I left that job in 4 months. 

Now, why can't I say this directly in my interviews?? Why do I have to lie about why I switched jobs. I can't  say directly "no learning opportunities or no growth or toxic environment in previous companies". 

This is so frustrating, I've applied for more than 200 companies in the last 2 months and I've nothing. 🤕 

Can someone help me with great excuses for career gaps which I can use for interviews?

Someone help me with great excuses for career gaps

Founder

It's been a year and a month since I've been unemployed.
I had a chronic illness which lasted for 2.5 years ( yes I was working when I was sick - worst decision of my life ) .

I recovered from it in September 2023, since then I've been looking for new jobs in frontend domain.
In my previous role , I was working as a support engineer for a service based company but wanted to work in frontend. During my illness period I also joined a cohort and also did a certification in React development.

Now, when I apply for jobs, I'm getting no calls, when I do get calls from recruiters, they ask about my career gap I tell them everything that happened. After the call they just ghost me.

How am I supposed to justify my career gap so that I can proceed further with the interview?
Do I lie about it and say that I did freelancing, I've heard most people do these kinds of things when they have to justify any kind of career gap.

How do I justify my career gap?

I want to quit my job and take a break. 

I Have been contemplating to do the same for almost an year but decided not to do it. So many things have happened since then

1. Layoff wave started in india
2. Got married
3. Had to move back to bangalore from hometown

Reason I want to quit is I don't feel like working , feeling bored and work doesn't interest me that much. 

I want to take a break chill for a bit but don't have guts to do the same considering market conditions ( what if I don't get a job when I am back in the market😅) 

Please give any advice on how to tackle this situation or if someone has gone through the same, would love to hear your experience. 

Also how is the product hiring currently in India? 

PS:  I do have a good runway for 4-5 months considering all expenses but I am scared to take the step

How is the market currently for product managers?

Test Engineer
