Career switch @ 21 y/o

I have a strong passion in tech. I’m almost a nerd. The thing is, I never wanted to study the conventional indian way and therefore I don’t have a good academic record. 10th : 8.8 gpa 12th: 71 % Joined a civil course even though i loved tech, regretted and moved to another university after completing 2 years of civil. Completed graduation with a degree in ECE and an 8.1 GPA due to covid. My professional record is quite average with a 12.65 LPA offer as an SDE, 1 YOE. The thing is, I crave money. The current market situation and the opportunities available currently does not seem decent for me to switch and get a 20~30 LPA job. Therefore I am considering higher studies. I need some advice from people who have been there and done that. Share your opinion/suggestions, lets discuss!

Lead social, brand, perf, SEO, partnerships, community, growth, pretty much everything across zero to fairly high budgets. Happy to help.

Graduated from NMIMS in 2023- BSc Finance. Interned at some marquee IB firms and startups. Working at an NBFC in an MD's office role- Strategy Consultant since then. Having done multiple projects for the company, I now want to switch to a consulting company where I can have a more diversified set of projects. But the market being the way it is, I'm not able to find reasonably good opportunities on LinkedIn. How do I go about the whole thing then? Would be grateful for any suggestion or referrals.

I'm a 25F recent MBA grad (fresher, Top 10% of my class, UG- old IIT). I started working with this MNC right after my graduation but the last 5 months have been very disappointing. I was asked to shift cities to my base location but have been mostly working from home since I've joined. I've not been receiving any communication from my team except ad hoc calls for short term projects where my only job is to change slide colors or copy data from one sheet to the next. I've tried being patient and I've tried talking to my senior-ups but have now come to realise that I don't want to pursue a career here at all. I've been looking for jobs for a while but am facing the following problems- 1. Vague job descriptions and job requirements 2. No call backs/ rejections despite having referrals. I'm looking to break into finance but am also open to strategy/ CEOs office/growth/ PM roles. My primary criteria for a job are a steep learning curve and having people around me that I can learn from. Any advice/ perspective is most welcome. In case you feel very strong negative emotions towards this post, I would appreciate it if you don't express it or at least tone it down. I'm not in the most perky of minspaces these days and don't wish to feel worse. Thanks!

I feel like I will be getting out of zoo into a wild forest any advices is of great help and any leads who are in need of such help will of immense help. Thanks in advance

I need some advice. 1. I am a fresher and am considering giving the CAT exam this year. 2. Currently working as a data science intern and frankly, not enjoying it a bit. I dread debugging. I also feel everyday that AI can easily do 75% of my work. 3. I want some business side roles, thinking I won't have to stare at a screen all day, fixing bugs. What roles can I expect after doing a MBA, is it worth the extra 2 years and the money, and if you are someone who can relate to my situation, what are some of the things you enjoy about your work and some things which you absolutely hate. I might have completely wrong expectations, so please feel free to correct me.

Hey all, I'm currently working at a boutique consulting firm, which pays well (~1.3 years) but has terrible working hours. I am planning to take CAT this year (already preparing for 2-3 months). Since CAT is just 90 days away I am thinking of quitting my job or at least putting in a notice period (as it will reduce my workload and expectations from me) and focusing on CAT for the days left. I don't think l'll be able to give 100% effort to the CAT exam in my current job scenario. Also, are there any alternative suggestions from folks in the same industry or anyone, by which I can get some time off (maybe medical leave for 20-30 days) or something which will give me time to prepare without quitting?

Hi everyone, I have 18 months of experience as an audit associate in EY. But now I am looking for some new opportunities to grow. I want to switch my felid preferably consulting. Any leads for roles in Delhi NCR will be helpful.

Hey everyone, seeking some career advice here. So, I've been grinding away in the risk domain at a big financial services MNC for about 2 years now ( have total experience of 5 years from similar companies), pulling in around 30 lakhs INR. Recently, I got a bit curious about what else is out there, so I started poking around. But here's the kicker – every HR rep I chat with says my pay is cool, but they're eyeing up MBA grads from fancy schools for the budget I'm looking out for. Thing is, I know my stuff. I've snagged awards, jumped up the ladder faster. But now I'm starting to sweat about whether my lack of an MBA is gonna bite me in the rear down the line. Plus, with all the chatter about layoffs, I'm low-key freaking about whether my gig here is as solid as I thought. Any advice on how to navigate this maze? Should I bite the bullet and go for that MBA, or stick to my guns and trust that my track record speaks for itself? Appreciate any wisdom y'all can drop!
