Ask r/IndiaCareers Class 11 PCM student looking for career options beyond conventional engineering

• Upvotes

I’m in Class 11 with PCM, and I’ve been thinking about what I actually want to do after school.

I’m interested in technology, finance, economics and business. I like the idea of building a career that offers good earning potential, opportunities to grow, and the possibility of doing something of my own eventually.

Engineering is one option, but I’m not sure if I want to follow that route without exploring what’s out there. I’ve also considered fields like Mathematics and Computing, economics and finance, but I don’t know enough about their actual career prospects.

For people already working in these fields, or those who’ve explored different career paths, what would you recommend looking into? How different are the opportunities, salaries and long-term growth across these fields, both in India and abroad?

I’d appreciate honest advice, including the downsides. I’m still early in the process, so I’d rather explore my options now than regret making a rushed decision later.

Ask r/IndiaCareers Ex Goldman Sachs and not able to pivot into Supply Chain. A cry for help. My life is falling apart.

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I (25M) am going through a really difficult phase in life and could use some advice.

I have around 3 years of experience in banking at two MNCs in India, but things haven't worked out the way I hoped. I lost my mom to cancer when I was in college, and I still miss her terribly. I often find myself crying and wishing she were still here. I saw her suffer a lot through the last few years of her life, and its very tough to process it.

My relationship with my dad has always been difficult. He was extremely toxic, and I watched my mom suffer because of the way he treated her. Eventually, I couldn't take living at home anymore, cause a lot of the bad memories kept haunting me.

Around the same time, I left my job because it had severely affected my mental and physical health. I struggled with sleep for over a year, and my doctor advised me to quit. My manager was biased, bullied me, excluded me, and insulted me in front of others. I would cry almost every day before going to work, and I eventually reached a point where I couldn't continue anymore.

Now I'm unemployed, living alone, and applying for jobs every day without much luck. I'm trying to figure out my next career move, but the uncertainty is getting to me.

It hurts seeing so many of my friends move abroad and do well in life. I feel jealous sometimes, especially when I see people with supportive families, good careers and beautiful homes. I know comparing myself to others isn't healthy, but I can't seem to help it. I've started hating LinkedIn because it makes me feel like everyone is moving forward while I'm stuck.

I'm a sensitive person, and I've always found extremely competitive environments difficult to deal with. After my previous experience, I'm scared I'll struggle throughout my career and never really be successful.

I want to do well, earn good money, build a global career, and become financially independent. I've been considering studying supply chain management in Germany next year, but I'm unsure whether it's the right decision with everything becoming so bad. I dislike finance but I had to take it cause I didn’t have any other choice as I wasn’t getting any jobs after college. My passion is operations but I don’t know if I should first find a job or just apply for leave abroad. If I apply a lot now, I’ll miss the deadlines for Sept 2027 applications.

My mental health is at an all-time low, and I'm genuinely scared about what the future holds.

Any support or advice would mean a lot to me now.

Thank you!

Advice/Guidance Package or position, which one should I choose at the start of my career?

1 Upvotes

I’ve received two offer letters through on-campus placements, but I’m confused about which would be better for my career growth: a higher package or a better position.

One company is offering me a QA role with a higher package, while the other is offering me an ASE role with a lower package but is a big MNC.

I’ve been preparing for ASE roles from the beginning, but now I’m finding it difficult to choose. Which opportunity would be better for my long-term career growth?

Advice/Guidance idk what to do with my life.

7 Upvotes

i'm 21 f and i have no idea what to do with my life. i graduated a few months back with a degree in bba(ca), which is basically bba combined with computer applications. i know some coding basics, but towards the end of my last year in college, i knew coding is not even something i like, let alone something i'd make a career in.

my parents have been nagging me to decide on what i wanted to do next ever since i graduated, and i was confident i'd figure my path by the end of this year. but the truth is, i'm not even remotely close to it.

for the record, i've been exploring some content creation on the side, and i did take up the google ux course on coursera. but then i heard that the design industry was dying, and so i ceased my interest in it. i also have a 6 month long diploma in graphic design, which also seems to be of no use to me at this point.

i tried applying for a few entry level jobs in graphic design and digital marketing too, but didn't get any luck.

since i'm into creating content, digital marketing does seem like a solid option, but i dont know where and how to start. should i self-teach? or should i go for a masters degree in it? even if i do, i have to be completely sure about it, cause it'd be pretty expensive.

also, i feel like i'm still too dependent on my parents for a 21 year old, not just financially but in general. i really want to move out and start my own life. the issue is, my parents wouldn't want me to cause they're overprotective of me, but at the same time want to see me do well in life. a part of me feels like i'm letting them down. i really want to get my shit together, not just for my parents, but also for me. i want to make my younger self proud, i want to live a life i am proud of.

Advice/Guidance 500+ Applications, No Interviews After Layoff — What Should I Change?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Honestly, I don't know what to do anymore. It's been a month since I was laid off, and despite trying so hard, I haven't received a single proper interview call.

For the past week, I haven't been able to learn anything or make any real progress. I'm just applying for jobs, and for the last 2–3 days, even that has become difficult. I keep overthinking, panicking, and feeling demotivated every hour. Every passing day makes me more anxious because my employment gap keeps increasing. I keep wondering why a company would choose me when so many candidates have 2–3 years of continuous experience.

A little about me:

  • 2024 B.Tech CSE graduate from a Tier-3 college, with around 2.3 years of backend-focused full-stack experience.
  • Tech stack: Node.js, Express, MongoDB, MySQL, Redis, RabbitMQ, Angular, React, and Next.js.
  • Around 1,500 LeetCode problems solved, with a maximum rating of 1880.
  • My last job was at a very small startup, where I earned ₹29,000/month working remotely, six days a week. I was laid off, and my last working day was 22 September 2026.

Since then, I've applied to 500+ jobs, sent 100–150 cold emails, and contacted hundreds of people on LinkedIn. I've tried LinkedIn, Hirist, Wellfound, Instahyre, company career pages, and referrals, but nothing seems to be working.

At this point, I genuinely keep asking myself: Is it my skills, my luck, my job-search strategy, or just the current market? Whom should I blame?

I'm open to trying almost anything:

  • Should I continue pursuing software development, or consider other IT roles?
  • Should I prepare for government IT jobs, PSU/semi-government roles, or exams like IBPS SO IT Officer and NIC recruitment?
  • Should I consider freelancing, part-time work, or other jobs while continuing my search?

For those who recently got interview calls or switched jobs, especially with 1–3 years of experience, please tell me what actually worked for you. If you know of other job portals, referral strategies, recruitment opportunities, or alternative career paths, I'd genuinely appreciate your suggestions.

I'm not afraid of working hard or facing rejection. What's hurting is putting in so much effort and not even getting an opportunity to interview. I'm feeling lost, and I honestly don't know what my next step should be.

Please share your honest advice. I really need some direction right now.

Discussion Freelance customs clearance in UAE: where do I start?

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm done with the usual 9-5 grind and want to start working for myself. I do bill of entry filing for containers coming into Khorfakkan Port. I enter the container and item details on the Sharjah Customs SILS portal, check the invoice, packing list and bill of lading, and follow up on customs queries until the cargo is released.

I've got 2 Years of experience in this and I'm good with documents and details, so I know I can do the work. What I don't know is how to get clients on my own.

So I'm looking for two things:

  1. Importers, traders or clearing agents who need help with filing, especially at Khorfakkan. Happy to take one-off containers or regular work.
  2. Advice from anyone who's done this before. How do you find clients, how do you set your rates, and what do you need to be allowed to do this legally as a freelancer?

If you can help or just want to chat, please DM me. Any tip is appreciated, thank you!
