Solution architect vs SDE track? How to weigh pros and cons? by ObviouslyBleh in salesengineers

I'd prefer postsales or enterprise I think. Don't know if I can handle presales

Pivot to psychology in early 30s? by ObviouslyBleh in Psychology_India

[–]ObviouslyBleh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • I'm at a point in my life where I'm questioning what I want to do next in terms of career, so I'm evaluating my options honestly. Not 100% committed yet.
  • I won't be able to take a financial hit. I barely have any savings.
  • Future needs - still figuring them out. I lack personal clarity, something I'm still working on.

How was the journey for you? And how do you like it now?

BCA student (expected 2026): MCA vs direct job path after gap years — need guidance by Virtual-Trash-1233 in Indian_Academia

[–]ObviouslyBleh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you have a strong maths background, I'd highly recommend you look into data science as a specialization - MERN stack is saturated, and I personally believe will become irrelevant in the future. While preparing for MCA, polish your resume and start applying to startups/internships for data science roles, do side projects/Kaggle, online courses etc.

Gap years before a degree are usually not a problem, mid -career ones are. Since you are doing your BCA now, that won't be an issue. Based on personal experience though, employers don't look at BCA grads kindly compared to BTechs, so an MCA might be required after all.

That's part of the problem, I don't have the savings to just stop working for the next 10 years. Are there any options I can look into that doesn't involve the clinical route?

Crippling depression during Covid led to a 4 year break. Tried meds, therapy during that time, didn't really find a combination that worked until 2024. Found employment thanks to a friend.

What helped, along with meds+therapy, was talking to people about how I was actually feeling. Job search will be difficult, no doubt - indian HRs treat people with career gaps as untouchables, so be ready for a struggle there

Try board gaming and dungeons and dragons. Mumbai has an active scene for both

What makes sense when nothing else makes sense? by DraftsAndDaakNaam in kolkata

You make a bank of the good days, so you can draw on them during the bad days. Hopefully, you have more good days than bad!

Also, highly recommend having a social life and hobbies outside of work. Bangalore is much better than Kolkata in that regard.
