2025 grad at an IT firm. Want to do full-time M.Tech but keep my job due to the market. Sabbatical requires 2 years of service.

Plan: Take Unpaid Leave for Year 1, then Sabbatical for Year 2.

BGV/EPFO: Will the overlap of full-time study and active employment fail future background checks?

Legal: Can my employer take action for studying while on unpaid leave?

Resignation: Is it a red flag if I resign later after getting a campus placement offer?

Kindly advice how to proceed 🙏

Taking leave (whatever you call unpaid/sabbatical) while on full time or part time employment for studying doesn't account for legal issue in India, many organisations support this and some even pay the cost

Additionally, no one can stop you applying for any job or resigning, it's not red flag

I'm not good at my tech stack. I've somehow managed to perform all my tasks without any escalation/blunders but that also by some help/googling.
I also managed to switch from an Indian mnc to a reputed company and now also somehow cleared a FAANG interview,but i know I'm not much knowledgeable in my tech .

I often fail at some interviews badly.
Not sure till when I'll be able to carry forward by this and the hard wlb at FAANG companies is giving me a fear.
