What should I do if I feel clueless about life (esp. career)?

I understand what I want to do in my life, but I often feel off track. My current job asks for a different skillset than what I actually want to excel in.

Hi,

Is it possible to switch from Deloitte USI Core Audit to Deloitte India Tax or any other big4. Has anyone done it?

Hello Fishes,

Just wanna share with you all !

When I joined fish bowl 4 months ago I had no intension to switch , after following the discussions here I made up my mind and started applying and now today I was successful to get an offer from 1 of the big4 with almost 150% hike from my current CTC.

Thank you all fishes for the insights provided here , it definately motivates someone like me to go beyond horizon and find out the true market value for the potential that we posses!

Cheers!
