Job hunt

Hi all, I am a 2023 ECE graduate from one of the top engineering colleges of Delhi. I had already been a part of the rat race once and didn't wanna join it again for coding jobs, so I took my chance & started looking for non tech jobs. 

In my second year of engineering, I worked with a NGO for their Marketing and PR Relations. After that, I worked for a startup and handled all their backend operations.

Just after completing my final year exams, I joined the core strategy department of a unicorn for a 3-month internship+PPO offer as a Strategy Analyst, but due to funding crunch, the CTC after PPO is gonna be 4 times less than than what it could have been, my manager already had discussions with HR regarding pay but in the name of cost cutting & winter coming to the startup world, everything's a fail, 

I was going to stay and take a pay cut as I liked my work, my colleagues were helpful and there was a lot to learn, but everyone advised me not to take a pay cut as then I would face difficulties with a pay hike. Now I have completed my 3-month internship and am looking out for new roles. I am open to roles like Program Manager, Business Analyst, Operations Analyst.
