Career switch @ 21 y/o
I’m an Eco major graduate from a top-tier DU college, currently working at a consulting firm with around 1.5 years of experience and a CTC of 9.5 lacs. I’m not enjoying the work at all, but I’m bound by the salary I’m making. There are no significant financial constraints.
I’m trying to find a job in other industries, but nothing fruitful has come up yet. I’m also passively studying for the CAT/GMAT. I really wish to take a leap of faith and quit my current job, but I’m scared to take this step because of the good salary I’m receiving (which is quite substantial for a fresher). I also feel there’s a calling for me to do something better with my life if I quit.
Do you have any suggestions?
Market is lean these days. Trying to build out a portfolio of your interest area. With a consulting background, you can jump into growing areas of product/growth/vc/customer success. Depend on referrals and apply through community channels on linkedin/whatsapp groups of your chosen interest area. Keep up the hope. Will sail.
