I feel a lot of insecurity about what if I lost my job. I work in Analytics & data science in a well known Indian Bank. Overall WOE is 8 yrs with 6 yrs in Analytics
Tier 1 Engg+MBA.
I would say after MBA i lost my way and hence behind my peers in career growth. This is mostly due to unsatisfactory work in the beginning leading to switches based on emotions and impulse, not patience.
Though my current job is stable and its been about 2.5 years in this role, it’s a bit stressful and honestly I don’t like the constant firefighting mode that we are in. I constantly put in 10-11 hrs on a daily basis with occasional work on weekends. This includes almost 3 hrs of meetings everyday, where a lot of redundant work requests come in and almost everytime they have to be delivered in next 1-2 days. Quality of work is not so great.
I tried applying but not getting decent calls. Only startups and Indian cos with high turnover reply to my applications. They too aren’t ready to discuss a decent hike.
I am really insecure about what will happen if I quit / laid off. I have gone through layoffs earlier in my career and believe me it’s a terrible experience, eats up all your savings.
I tI tried a few sidegigs to build passive income source such as building a YouTube channel on travel, or a travel advisory app but couldn’t move much. App didn’t happen and YT channel didn’t get off after few months of hard work.
I currently am very demotivated and feel that i have not been able to grow in my career. Salary posts on grapevine add a lot more to my demotivation.
Current CTC is 27.
Keep networking and always be on lookout for new/ better opportunities.
Naukri kisi ka kabhi bhi ja sakta hai. But please don’t lose your mental peace thinking continuously about it.
Save some liquid cash. Runway should be at least for 1 year. Also your health insurance should be set.
You will lose your job at some point irrespective of whether you are insecure about it. The name of the game is patience and waiting out market downturns
Your CTC isn’t bad. Please have an emergency fund if not already that has your 6 month of expenditure.
You can’t live in this fear all the time, man up and just keep at your work. Do keep an eye on other opportunities and jump as soon as you see one. Understand that working with a good bank you are getting a good work ex on your resume and that will also help you
