Hi all,

I am 2021 B.E graduate in Mechanical Engineering. I wanted to get to core industry, but at that time I couldn't get into as there were fears around about covid. I got selected and joined for a service based IT company as they were hiring in bulk at that time. Now as all know things are moving slow in IT, I have been kept on bench and I too lost interest here to work.

This made me to feel like I made a mistake by joining here and wasted 1.5 years. Currently, I am clueless on what to do

I was in core mechanical and there are no growth opportunities or the salary that you would typically get in IT. And slowly I was able to change and pivot.

I think unknowingly you made the right choice but you just have to utilise this to your best interest by upskilling in your domain and look for opportunities outside.
