In my office, there are times when a colleague gets stuck with some work or makes a mistake, and I try to help them so that the work gets completed on time. Sometimes, I even put my own work aside to help them because I feel that we should support each other as a team. But when I am busy with my own tasks and need some help, the same colleagues are not always available. They may say they are busy or ask me to manage it myself. I don’t want to stop helping others because of this, as I feel it is important to maintain good relationships at work. At the same time, I sometimes feel that people take my helpful nature for granted, and my own work gets delayed because of it. I also worry that if I start refusing to help, my colleagues may think I have become selfish or uncooperative.
Ans: Dear

Very good question.

Few things let's get it clear. Each one is hired for a particular role and deliverables and they are paid for that.

You are hired first to do your work and deliverables assigned to you. Helping colleagues with their work, while letting your work aside is akin to not doing your responsibility.

My suggestion would be first focus on your work, if someone approaches you with a help and assistance for their work, you can provide them with guidance but do not end up doing their work.

If you are in the midst of your work and someone approaches you, you can politely yet firmly tell them that you are in mids if an important work and once done you will call them. DO NOT set aside your work for someone else. Remember you are working in a corporate world and not some social charitable organisation where any one can do everyone's work.

Hope this helps. All the best.

What should an employee do if the person they are supposed to report harassment or discrimination to is actually the same person involved in the problem? For example, suppose a senior manager regularly makes inappropriate comments about an employee’s appearance or background, and the employee wants to complain, but the company’s usual process says that concerns should first be reported to that manager. In such a situation, the employee may feel stuck because going directly to the same person doesn’t feel safe or comfortable. What alternative channels should an employee look for, such as HR, a higher-level manager, an internal complaints committee or an ethics helpline? Also, how can someone raise the concern professionally while protecting themselves from possible retaliation or further workplace problems?
Ans: Dear

I am sorry to hear that you are going through a tough time. Nonetheless there is a way to handle this.

If you have ethics helpline use that, these are supposed to be anonymous and managed by third party who are independent company.

You can also approach the complaints committee but before escalating to the committee please talk to your managers manager along with the HR and take them in confidence.

Maintain your calm, structure your conversation on issues and backed with evidence (what was said when) and most important of all avoid personal attacks or name calling.

Hope this helps. All the best.

Hi I am Prateek Kumar 20 year old class 12 pass with Biology stream writing this because I feel completely stuck and unable to make any decisions in my career. Overthinking, fear of missing out, fear of regret, procrastination, i have found all these things within myself. I don't understand what my interest is and what my goal is. I am interested in many things I feel like I have potential, but I can't decide what to do. I am unable to accept just one option. I have an interest in many fields: Engineering, Medical (MBBS), Law, Economics, Finance, Business, Politics, Science, History, AI/ML, Data Science, Research, top government jobs, Banking, etc. Because I cannot choose just one thing, I imagine myself in every single option. -Sometimes I feel that today is the era of AI, which has huge scope and good growth.Sometimes - I feel I should go into a career in politics and policymaking.Sometimes -I feel I should enter the field of Economics or Finance for a good salary and growth.Sometimes - I feel I should prepare for top government exams like IAS or IFS for power, respect, and authority. -Sometimes I feel I should choose a law for power and to bring change to the system. -Sometimes I feel I should go into the medical field because I am from the Biology stream and my family wants this too. -I also love writing stories and want to make my own movie because I have very good stories. -Earlier, I even wanted to become a pilot. I keep switching between 'should I do this' or 'should I do that', and I don't know what to do. Time is passing by.Whenever I try to choose one thing, I feel like I am missing out on everything else. I feel like the other option is the perfect one. Because of this perfectionism, I cannot make any decision. People say, 'Do what you are interested in.' But I am interested in so many things, how do I choose just one? As a boy from a middle-class family, I have imagined very big dreams. I feel I have the potential to achieve them, but a lack of direction, laziness, and overthinking are stopping me.I feel completely stuck. It has been 1.5 years since I passed Class 12, and I have still not taken admission anywhere. No one understands my situation. Many people tell me to just pursue graduation from a local college. But there are no good colleges here; you don't even have to attend classes daily. I won't get a real college environment, I won't be able to explore anything, and I won't enjoy college life. Taking admission here means either preparing for a government job or just getting a degree for the sake of a name. Most importantly, I don't even know which course I should actually pursue. I am trying very hard to figure things out, but I cannot reach a decision. Please help me. There is no psychologist near me, and my family will not take me to one either. I do not understand if I should change my stream or stick to it. Should I switch from Biology to Math or not? Before taking any decision, I overthink so much and feel terrified. It feels like my entire life depends on this single decision. Through YouTube and the internet, I have noticed patterns within myself like overthinking, procrastination, some signs of ADHD (not confirmed), fear of regret, fear of making a wrong decision, FOMO, and having multiple interests. Please help me and show me the right way to get out of this problem and choose the right direction. Also, please tell me how I can make my own decision."
Ans: Dear Prateek

Please note you have articulated your question and also given the answer.

Imagine you driving a car and you come to a crossroads. Now you have to decide either to go left, right, straight or take a U turn. Any decision is based upon the destination where you want to go. Even if you are simply wandering, yet you cannot stop at the crossroads, you must decide which turn to take. Or else you will miss on EVERYTHING that is there on the left, right, straight or even U turn.

Now by taking left definitely you will miss on somethings on right or straight or even from the road you travelled. But if you don't take a turn then you will miss on EVERYTHING that is there in a particular turn.

A good doctor can also be a good painter or a good engineer can also play guitar. However a good piano player cannot be a good lawyer unless and until he or she has learnt law and practised it in the court of law.

Expertise in professional filed comes through education and practise.

So, take up any profession that you want to, decide by asking a simple question, what is it that you would continue doing if there was no fame or fortune or power. What will you do just for the sake of doing it. start pursuing that field.

Home is built on a strong foundation but interior of drawing room we can change it even mix and match. So build one rock solid foundation by choosing a particular field of profession and explore other areas as intrest or hobbies.

All the best

I am not from English medium background, so sometimes I am not very confident while speaking English in office meetings. I know what I want to explain, but while speaking I take little more time to make the sentence properly. Many times, before I complete my point, someone interrupts or starts speaking, and then I lose my flow and become more nervous. After that I start speaking fast because I feel I have to finish quickly. I don’t think people are intentionally ignoring me, but this happens quite often and it makes me feel that maybe my communication is not strong enough. How can I speak more confidently and clearly in meetings, especially in English, without sounding too aggressive or feeling that I have to rush through my point?
Ans: Hello

Very relevant question, thanks for asking.

Firstly let me tell you from the way you have written and structured this question actually shows that you have very good command over the English language, so compliments to to you.

Please note English is not our mother tongue so we will have some difficulty in the flow and fluency, however speaking fluent (read fast) English no way reflects our understanding of the subject or depth of our thinking. Rather at times speaking fast can make us sound shallow.

What I would suggest is be confident in your command over English, speak in your natural and normal speed and when someone interrupts you, stop and say politely, please let me complete my point and I will be open to listening to your views as well. When you say this you will see that people will stop interrupting you.

Be polite, yet firm. Be assertive not aggressive.

Hope this helps, wish you all the best.

Warm Regards

Lost in Life. Seems like I'm finished I’m 25 years old and will turn 26 in October. I completed my B.Tech in Computer Science in 2022. After graduation, I worked as a Graduate Engineer Trainee until November 2023. I resigned from my job because I wanted to seriously prepare for the UPSC examination. I never imagined that the next few years would completely change my life. I lost my father, and overnight, a huge part of the responsibility for my family came onto my shoulders. Then lost my grandfather. Since then, life has been less about career choices and more about dealing with one responsibility after another. I had to take care of my sister’s wedding. Then came my mother’s surgery. My grandmother has Parkinson’s disease and requires care as well. There were things happening in my family that I simply could not ignore or walk away from. I had plans for my career. I had dreams. I wanted to prepare for UPSC and build something meaningful for myself. But circumstances kept forcing me to put everything else aside. Today, I’m in a very difficult position. Our primary source of income is currently half of my grandmother’s pension. I came to Noida in January with the hope that I would find a job, become financially independent again, and start rebuilding my life. Since then, I have been applying and attending interviews. I have been rejected, ghosted, and left without any response multiple times. At one point, I was selected by an MNC, and I genuinely thought things were finally going to get better. But then the company froze the recruitment. That one decision completely shattered the little financial stability and hope I had at that point. I’m currently living in Noida and paying more than ₹12,000 every month just for my living, apart from food, travel, and other expenses. Every month, I have to think about how I’m going to manage the next one. And honestly, it is becoming extremely difficult. There are days when I feel completely exhausted. I’m dealing with a lot of anxiety, stress, and what feels like depression. I wake up knowing that my family depends on me, but at the same time, I don’t have a stable source of income myself. Despite all of this, I haven’t completely given up. I have started preparing for government examinations, particularly Computer Science-related posts, because I want a stable career and, more importantly, I want to be in a position where I can take care of my family without constantly worrying about losing my income. But I’m extremely confused about what I should do now. I’m not looking for shortcuts or sympathy. I’m looking for practical advice from people who have been through career gaps, difficult circumstances, job searches, or similar situations. I have a B.Tech in Computer Science, professional experience, and I’m willing to work hard. I’m not afraid of starting again from a lower position if necessary. I just need an opportunity to get back on my feet. Please don’t suggest BPO or similar jobs. I’m specifically looking for decent technical, operations, analyst, or other professional roles where my education and previous experience can be useful, while still leaving me enough stability and time to prepare for government examinations. My biggest concern right now is not just my career. It is my family. I need to become financially stable, support my mother and grandmother, rebuild my career after this gap, and somehow keep moving forward instead of feeling like I’m constantly falling behind. If you were in my position at with a B.Tech, around 1.5 years of work experience, a career gap due to UPSC preparation and family responsibilities, limited financial support, and immediate pressure to start earning again - what would you do? I would genuinely appreciate any practical, honest advice, career leads, or direction you can provide. I’m trying very hard not to give up. I just need to figure out which direction to take from here.
Ans: Hello

Let me confess it's not easy for anyone to be in your situation, life has thrown multiple challenges at you from all the directions.

What is admirable is your never say die attitude. From your words I can tell that you are willing to try again and again and not give up. This is your biggest strength.

Here is what I would suggest.

While preparing for UPSC exam is indeed commendable, suggest you put time and efforts to get a job in private sector in your domain which is Computer Science.

I am sure you are aware of the rapid development and opportunities in the the field of AI-ML, given your B.Tech in CS, May I suggest you self educate yourself in this domain. For someone like you with a great attitude to learn and grow, I am sure you will be able to master the field and find good breakthrough.

So learn AI-ML field, get a job in private sector so that you can steady your income and then prepare for UPSC exams. Steady income and job will give you more confidence to prepare for the exams and also give you a sense of satisfaction of taking care of family responsibilities.

You need to balance between:

Your Dream, which is clearing UPSC exam.....
Your current family Responsibilities, which is need for a steady income.....
and your Reality, which is multiple challenges.

Accept all three...don't deny anything...work with Patience and believe me You Will Succeed...!!

Wishing you the very best.

Hello Sir, My cousin is in Bangalore and he scored, 93.3% in JEE mains, 80% in CBSC, his CET and comedk scores are not that great- over1 lack and 80k. We have secured CSE and related seats in VIT-AP cat-3 and cat-4 and in VIP Bhopal -cat 2. What do you suggest, shall we look for comedk collages outside Bangalore or go for VIT.. What should be the priority.. thanks
Ans: Hello Madam,

My suggestion would be to prioritize VIT over lower-tier COMEDK colleges.

Since the JEE Main percentile is 93.3%, but the KCET rank (1 lakh+) and COMEDK rank (80k) are not competitive enough, it is difficult to get top Bengaluru colleges, like Ramaiah Institute of Technology, BMS College of Engineering, Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering, or Bangalore Institute of Technology.

Between the available options:

VIT Bhopal (Category 2) is a better choice than VIT-AP Category 3/4, especially if the branch is CSE or a CSE specialization.
It is still worth participating in COMEDK counselling, but only if there is a realistic chance of getting a decent college such as Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology, CMR Institute of Technology, or similar. I would not recommend choosing a lower-tier COMEDK college over VIT just because it is in Bengaluru.

So the priority would be:

Good COMEDK college (if one becomes available in later rounds)
VIT Bhopal Category 2 (CSE/CSE specialization)
VIT-AP Category 3/4

The final decision should depend on the exact branch offered and the total four-year cost, but based on the current options, VIT seems to be the safer and stronger choice.

Wishing you very best.

बीटेक सीएसई के बाद सरकारी नौकरी या निजी क्षेत्र में नौकरी के लिए कौन सा विकल्प बेहतर है?
Ans: प्रिय श्री पंकज

यदि मैंने आपका प्रश्न सही समझा है, तो आप यह जानना चाहते हैं कि बीटेक सीएसई पूरा करने के बाद सरकारी नौकरी चुनें या निजी नौकरी?

संक्षेप में, यह आपकी प्राथमिकताओं पर निर्भर करता है। निर्णय लेते समय विचार करने योग्य विभिन्न कारकों को मैं नीचे सूचीबद्ध करता हूँ:

1. आय: निःसंदेह निजी क्षेत्र में वेतन बहुत अधिक होता है, साथ ही कई कंपनियाँ इक्विटी विकल्प भी प्रदान करती हैं।

2. स्थिरता: सरकारी नौकरियाँ निजी क्षेत्र की तुलना में अधिक स्थिर होती हैं।

3. नवीनतम तकनीक: निजी क्षेत्र की कंपनियाँ नवीनतम तकनीक के विकास और कार्यान्वयन में हमेशा अग्रणी रहती हैं।

4. अंतर्राष्ट्रीय अनुभव: निजी क्षेत्र में यह अनुभव कहीं अधिक व्यापक है।

5. तीव्र करियर विकास: निजी क्षेत्र की नौकरियाँ तीव्र विकास प्रदान करती हैं।

6. गतिशीलता: सरकारी नौकरियों में स्थानांतरण संभव है, जबकि निजी क्षेत्र में शहर चुनने का विकल्प होता है।

ये कुछ ऐसे कारक हैं जिनके आधार पर आप निजी और सरकारी नौकरी के बीच चयन कर सकते हैं।

आपको हार्दिक शुभकामनाएँ।
