Is it all over
Hey is it all over for someone who did mechanical engineering and stuck in WITCH in a bad project? I did start with Research, but it paid peanuts then during pandemic made the switch but, ended up in bad project twice(the second time was a heartbreak though I could figured out how the org works and secured good project, but landed in a bad project) and it's been 5 years since I graduated. Is it all over for me?š„² I earn <30k nett For MS all I see are mediocre universities(due to undergrad percentage) which would make it hell with all the loans if things don't go right

A couple of questions -
1. How many years of experience do you have?
2. Specifically why do you consider your project "bad"?
I'd recommend just switching to another service based company. Years of experience and a basic ability to work well with others goes a long way there. And I'm sure you have a decent amount of transferable skills that would help out.
Personally that has been my experience that new joiners do pretty well since the slower pace of work starting out tends to let them figure out where they need to improve.
You might need to showcase a basic understanding of the field that you do wish to work in though.

Around a year in research of product
2.5 in service, which I feel is not worth anything
By switching, there won't be much change in the nature of work, financially or contributing to building anything or even excelling at work as fundamentals are always imp and it's never ending catchup.... and with the kind of pay which I would land due to the norms of work based on previous experience and pay based on last drawn, I'm in a cage
Decide where you want to further your career.
Do you want to continue in software development or you want to change your career path?
If it is the former, upskill, switch to a startup for a jumpstart.
If it is the latter, you may consider a higher education like an MBA to switch careers. You can do it without an MBA as well, it might just be trickier to get opportunities.
