Need suggestion

I am 27 f. Since i joined my first company i am doing wfh. They assigned me support project(mainframe), where i realised that i will not be getting hike nor growth. After 3 years i started preparing for job switch (specially technology change to cloud computing ). All this was happening and in the meantime I met a person with home i feel like he is the one i will spend my life. He is also into me. But after one year he changed and started ignoring me and dating other girls.

I am facing 2 problems one is job switch ni ho rha and second is that guy made me mental.

Please suggest me how to do job switch when I really dont have real time experience.

First prioritize your problem- is job switch the issue or relationship.
If job switch is the issue, time is hard. You won't get good switch just by studying. You need to have hands on experience or atleast convince that you work in that technology. Figure out how your cloud or new tech is linked to your current role. Look for use cases. I can go on and on but I believe you got it.
If it's relationships, that's a very subjective issue. If he is not into you, he is not into you. Accept it and move on. One year anyways is not a long time for a matured relation. Having closure might help you physiologically. Confront him, ask him. If he is ambiguous, let him go.
Show him 'Thukra ke mere pyaar, Mera intaqaam dekhega' by jumping into a better job.😉

Second last cracked me up lol, on a serious note if you are serious about switching don't look for relationships until you switch your career. Try doing freelance projects or real-world projects on your own showcase it on your linkedin. Keep up the engagement about your projects by mentioning what you solves with your particular personal project. Keep doing this and surely you will get noticed and hopefully get a job

See, these things are part and parcel of life. If he can forget you and move on, then so can you...as a man i have always been told to man up and face my problems head on, and that has actually worked for me... believe in yourself and get your act together

  • Learn and do a side projects so that you have practical understanding
  • Try to move internally in your aspirational tech if you can
  • Consult a colleague who is working on your aspirational tech and get some pointers on the project he is working
  • Mould resume to show that you have worked in the tech for which you have applied

All the best

Breakups happen, it's part of life. Makes you stronger once you come out the other side. Just give yourself time and have patience. Focus on work and upskilling as much as possible, good to keep yourself busy for at least a few months to a year.

Hey @BelovedQueen, first of all just sending you a big virtual hug. You have already taken the first step by recognizing what you dont want and that takes guts. Switching tech stacks without hands on exp is tough but totally doable. i have been in a similar boat in my career. Focus on small projects, certifications, and maybe contribute to open source or shadow freelance gigs to build some credibility.

Happy to share how i made decisions in my career. feel free to DM if you want to chat more!
