I have only worked for government specifically, and I am tired of it. I have tried to get jobs outside of it that I feel would fit me better but have never been able to land anything. I keep getting rejections, even though I probably get more interviews than most. I just turned 29 and I have never had a job that I liked nor that paid well enough for me to live comfortably on my own, preferably one without a pension contribution, even though I have an MPA. I don't know what to do anymore.

I used to feel that way too when I was 30ish.. now fast forward to 57 me, I’m 5 years from retiring with a full pension and glad I just stayed and made a career in government. People now look at to me for advice and treat me like the sort of elder statesman (which is hilarious in my mind because I still feel like that insecure 20 something kid inside). Anyway, my point is stick it out if your good at it and think about the long term. Maybe the universe is telling you something…

Have you tried using AI as a good reviewer of your resume, interview responses, and job fit?

I feel you. I still love my job but live in HCOL area and it kinda sucks watching AI bros become millionaires overnight. Since you’ve been getting interviews, it suggests possibly something in the interviews isn’t going well. Have you asked for any feedback from rejects?

Stay with the government in the private sector you’re not protected nor safe. I’ve worked private sector for years and I never wanna go back. The pay is super low and their 1.00 raises are a joke! Don’t do it!!!

Hello Fishes,

Recently received offer from Oracle Solution Services India Private Limited and base location mentioned is Bangalore. Just was curious to know whether we have to go to office physically for the joining or we can join virtually as I am not in Bangalore. Also is this offer different from Oracle or is it a branch within Oracle.

TIA
