Contemplating my decision making
So, i'm on the job hunt again & i spend a good chunk of my day thinking about the decisions i have made.
- Quit my first job at Digit insurance because the work was super monotonous. Wanted to try something different.
- Discovered product management, started doing cases, eventually got an internship- Gap of 6 months
- Did internships at a solar company & Shiprocket, then got a full time APM job at a logistics firm- salary bump of 4X
- Learned that my mother had complications on her knee surgery, got severely sick & would require constant care. Quit my job to take care of her for 6 months.
- Explored an idea of mentorship platform, validated with 100+ people but couldn't start due to feasibility problems. Got an offer from Cashkaro next as APM- Gap of 6 months
Total gap so far- 18 months
- Quit cashkaro on may due to very disrespectful culture(created specifically by founders), authority over influence, severe communication gap between tech & product(no standups, no meetings, no updates)
- Looking for opportunities again- current gap of 3 months already
What are your views on this? Anything i could've done better? I'm asking because no matter how hard I try to explain the gaps, the eyebrows are always raised.
Getting rejected left & right, 70% of the jobs are secured for tier-1 folks & for the rest, it feels like you have to Ranbir Kapoor in Animal with Arjan vaily playing in the background(just slaughter everyone to go through)
Would appreciate your views
