I recently joined TCS but I was moved into very different project which was told during hiring. Also they told me for joining incentive but later after 65 days of joining they didn't give saying your business aproval got rejected. I really want to be with TCS but due to project dissatisfaction, I am looking for different job. I am not sure if I can leave the organisation soo soon(4 months) and it should not effect my carrier.

What helped me most was realizing that I don't want to waste my life away on stuff that doesn't bring me joy daily. At some point I wasn't ok to spend my time on work and people that I did not care for just to flex a title and salary. It felt like I was selling betraying myself and the extra money didn't silence the voice. Now I have full control of my days and my time and I realized how little I need to feel happy. Money freedom is nice but time freedom is where it's at for me.

Your career is not meant to define you nor satisfy every area of your life. When you achieve a goal, I understand it can be hard to recalibrate that focus on a different goal and the immediate thought would naturally be a something career related again but it makes sense to dig deeper as to why you feel disconnected. You can take that same focus and apply it to other areas of your life that may make you feel more fulfilled but still retain the benefits of what you worked to achieve. Mentor someone, find a community with similar interests, engage a hobby you always wanted, take more PTO, etc.
For many people, a career is just a means to provide resources for the things that actually matter - having life experiences, supporting a family, etc.
If you are actually unhappy with what you do everyday that is a different story but sometimes it’s just a mindset change. All the best!
I have businesses doing well in my home country with 22 employees. I have clients on the stock exchange in my home country, in South Korea, and the United States. I am influential voice and a community leader back home. A sought-after speaker at events that many consider wise and unique in perspective. I am successful in all ramifications though not financially wealthy, yet.
I left all these behind and presently looking to work even as a cleaner with no success yet. I lost friends today death in succession and it made me rethink life and what really matters. I decided to proceed on a two years sabbatical in foreign land to rethink and realign. My kids and wife are back home. Many will say family is everything but I have experienced friends leaving even family behind.
What makes us leave it all behind differ from person to person and circumstance. The answer you will seek will ultimately only be found by you and from you, but I am wishing you well as you navigate.
There is more to my story, but I hope this little lights your candle in a way.
Currently switching careers to another industry and professional qualification, going into my 6th and final year of part time study. Always felt I wasn’t a fit for the industry I worked in. I was successful, top performer but Managers seemed to want me to stay where I was because I was good at my job and conscientious. Over Covid decided to pull the plug, re qualify and give the minimum in work I could. I’ve doubts about the switch as there’s more financial risk, but the industry I’m working in is cutting jobs everywhere due to AI so deep down I know it’s the right decision. It’s been frustrating at times, people in my current work place seem to feel threatened by the fact I want to switch careers- almost like it’s a snub on them (which it really isn’t). If I can offer any advice - think about an area / subject you are passionate about… if you look for careers or courses in that area the switch will be so much easier. Best of luck! 🤞
