Being in IT tech sector is miserable when you’re 34 and single and have experience only if 7 years in IT. Feeling bad that I’m only one emergency away from poverty. Just checked all finances and I just have 13L including PPF and PFs. Is IT sector right ? Working everyday like mental from 7 AM to 11 PM. I need a miracle where they pay decent salary and not count pennies. Can it be done? Or moving abroad is the only option. How do I move on at 35 to a decent European country?

Don't worry buddy. I started in IT at the same age. I knew I entered the industry at a very late stage. I had to take a compensation cut to get entry. So I was adamant to change companies every two years to reach a decent compensation package. Today I'm satisfied.

Speaking from personal experience

1. Pick up adjacent skills like Data Analysis, Data Transformation
2. Work Hard. Become the go-to person for an important requirement
3. Network & Collaborate. With people in your company or in the client's side. Understand how your work contributes to the bigger picture, the Product or Service.
4. Be optimistic. Things will go up from here.
5. Speak to someone who matters, and share your ambition.

Good luck.

Hi All, just sharing what on mind to vent it out from my system. Maybe with this I could gain some insights and inspiration.
I have been working as a data scientist since 2018 & have been the bread winner. I have neither been under a proper mentor nor with a team of peers from my field to help me out. I was alone and confused. I have never really got the chance to prove myself which makes me all the more depressed. I'm not sure what to do with my future, indecisive and low on confidence.
