Career counseling

Have few questions related to that - 1. Does the psychometric tests really showcase your skills and interests? 2. Do you recommend it for anyone who is unsure of what they can be doing in their lives with utmost satisfaction? 3. Are the results at the end of the tests show only legacy jobs or they showcase a generic view of what can be your career and you can choose to deep dive? Like, do they specifically show you can be a software engineer or do they mention you are good at teaching or expressing yourself, hence from that you can deduce if blogging is something of interest that can be pursued or being youtuber etc 4. If yes to above questions, any recommendations for good career counselling orgs?

Hi, I have almost 8 YOE in software development. I was in my comfort zone and spent 6.5 years in a service based Indian MNC on a legacy project, where I only did what was assigned. I don't think I have good skills in the technology I was working on. Then I switched and I wasn't informed but when I got into the new company which did pay me much better, my technology got changed. Now earlier I was working on a very highly used technology, but now I am on a niche technology which is less used and might disappear in say 10 years. I am worried about the future. I don't know if I should go back to the technology in which I was working earlier (C#.net), or learn a newer tech like data science or AI and try to start fresh or continue with the one I am working on(a Telecom billing solution). Can you please suggest to me the path?

Questioning life choices currently. I think I gave taken the wrong path for myself. I don't really know what would suit me. I know that it's alright to f around and figure out stuff early career but I'm worried about my salary and career trajectory. As in, I do not want to be stuck in entry level roles forever. What do you think? Any anecdotes?

I have a cousin who’s just out of college completing BCom. She has no clue what next. I’d want her to talk to someone who can guide her (read: tell her all possible options) on what are her strengths/weaknesses and possible career options she can take. Are there any quality platforms for such services? Would be even great if someone has used it first hand. Thanks!

After completing engineering I got a full time job opportunity in a logistic company as a business analyst. At the start everything was good but slowly I was pushed in the non technical department. Right now my majority of work consists of people's management. There is no technical aspect left in my job role and neither am I learning anything. After spending 02 years in the company I learned nothing. After realising my mistake I started learning SQL and then I've planned to learn Tableau as I have an inclination towards Data Analytics but due to my toxic job I can't focus on things. Also I can't leave the current job as I am having the responsibilities of my family. Seeing my friends succeeding in their job really makes me anxious. Also I can't apply for jobs in service based companies like TCS, Wipro, Accenture etc. as I'm having 4 years educational gap after class 10 due to financial issues. My father lost his job so I was helping my father who was working in a local groceries shop during that time.

I'm an associate product developer with over 3 years of experience. I previously worked with Java, Spring Boot, and Docker but left due to a poor work culture. For the past 2 years, I've been with my current organization, but the technology stack here is outdated, and I was misled about working on Java. I don't see growth opportunities and feel disconnected from modern technologies. How can I prepare to switch to roles involving Java and Spring Boot?

I'm currently working as a SAP consultant in RAP and Fiori. I'm considering my career growth options and am also interested in front-end development with React.js. Can someone suggest which path would be better in terms of salary hike and overall growth?
