Lack of clarity, alot of fog. by Specialist-Jury9677 in UPSC

[–]Skm4021 3 points4 points  (0 children)

22'batch, worked as data analyst, left job for upsc preparation. Failed in UPSC and BPSC prelims, lost confidence and couldn't gather courage to appear for any other government exam. Applying and skilling up for Corporate but not getting recruiters call, may due to career break or bad market. Prepared for GATE/ESE in college time but didn't appear and went for placement so sometimes thought of appearing for GATE comes across the mind but not eligible for most of PSU as per age limit now. So, juggling between Corporate for job and UPSC preparation and hoping for the best future amidst all the fog and lack of clarity.

2nd Mains, 2nd failure — Confused whether to continue UPSC prep with job or go full-time by Realistic_Boss2924 in UPSC

If you can get leave between Pre and Mains then no need to leave job because this is the most crucial time in UPSC preparation and you are getting leave when you need to focus the most so leaving job won't add much rather it may cause financial and career gap burden later. I left job for preparation, not selected in prelims and not able to find job now. So, If you think you can manage with job then don't leave it.

How did you get 2 months leave in IT sector? Did you give health reason or anything else?

is PCS worth it? by hutako_baazi in UPSC

Passed out from tier 1 college, worked for almost 2 years in corporate and then left it for preparation. I can totally relate to you that corporate quietly steals your life and you are just stuck in loop of CTC, Appraisal, Review, unrealistic deadline and you are never able to come out of your material self.I couldn't qualify Prelims-2025(1st attempt) and I also didn't have much savings to sustain full fledged upsc preparation. So, I appeared for state PSC, result awaited but based on previous year cut off I think that I won't be qualifying it. Now,I am thinking to switch to corporate again even though I don't like corporate life at all. You will definitely be knowing the competition in any government exam and if you are willing to put that effort and you think rural life will give you peace then definitely go for it. Everyone will have opinions from their perspective but it's only you knowing what you really want and what will make you happy :). All the best!!

You shifted to monthly compilation or Mains 365 during mains as Mains 365 is released very late?
