Hello everyone,

I’m a 2024 B.Sc (MECs) graduate trained in data analytics. I’ve attended a few interviews, but they didn’t go well. My goal is to build a career in IT, but for financial stability I’m planning to take a non-IT mapping/operations role. Alongside, I’ll keep preparing to switch into a technical role. Is this the right approach?

I’d appreciate your suggestions on how to make a successful transition.

Thank you.

But my big concern is that I've only been with my current company for a year (this is my first job, post PhD). Would this affect my resume in the future in terms of being viewed as "job hopping"?

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers. It was base + comm, now it’s commission only but nothing changed, OT commission is the same, didn’t get more points, just took away the base pay and said work harder basically. So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)

B-Tech colleges put ads with Package and Campusing only. Almost 99% Indian YouTube thumbnail is like "5 lakh to 40 lakh", "Interview Experience in bracket 50Lpa" etc.. Hardly we can see Foreign Editorial things marked with Packages.
