Hello Friends
I'm 24M. I was so called good student from childhood, from small town, graduated from one of the NITs/IIITs. I always thought that I will go for govt jobs where job stability is there and work life balance and not daily learning Technical things rather upgrading behavioural and leadership qualities, you can say Administrative jobs.
Now I'm in corporate because I couldn't get govt job in college final year and had to go for private sector job, campus placement. Cont. in comments..

Do you have a job to go to where you can live happily forever for sure? If yes then go.
If not then continue, I hated corporate till 4 years, then accepted the fact that this is what I have to do to make my family happy, I accepted my career and tried to study and crack interviews. It worked, today as well I feel the constant urge to upskill myself for better life better job, however once you accept things become much easier and clear. Currently you are trying to fight your emotions while working, do not do that it will kill you, either jump to another boat now or accept your corporate life and move ahead with force.
Trust me you will thank me later.

True.

My problem is I hate learning Technical stuff daily though have been doing it for 3 years now. My technology is Oracle ERP Technical (assigned randomly by my first employer as part of bulk hiring) which is not as promising as any SDE or Data Science or AI/ML job, So I'm not passionate due to this reason as well. I don't fit in corporate culture. In these 3 years there have not been a day when I thought that I will stay in corporate for my lifetime. I'm doing this job because my family need financial assistance (you can say helplessness, but I'm not doing this job for my happiness). I want a life where there is job security and monetary wise even if there is less growth but work life balance. Currently my package is good.
Now my confusion is that whether one should go for corporate job which is for me like crying everyday, no enthusiasm. Or take risks and go for a job where I can feel settled and happy. Not everyone like continuously learning new things even at the age of 30-40. Now I have time atleast for doing other things but if I take the same decision at 30/35 due to same reasons ...I will be of nowhere.

Hope you understand. Seeking your opinion. You must have encountered people like me somewhere.

You should definitely try and try with complete devotion, otherwise you will always regret not doing it. I regret not devoting 1-2 years for IAS, I was a star student academically so I made choices like IIT/IIM which society wanted me to. You have age in your favour, if you want something so dearly, go for it

Then Prepare well for civil services/ public service commission and get out of corporate arena. If you manage to do that in next 4-5 years then it's good else you have to accept the reality & try to grow here. But pls don't take bank job bcz u will get frustrated even more.

Hi! I have worked in management roles in tech, mainly in analytics, for approximately 10 years. My TC has fluctuated (currently around 135K CAD), but it seems like it's relatively easy to breach the 100K bar, but hard to breach the 150K bar. I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.
