I am student in 1st year of be cse(ai). I belong to tier3 college. I am confused between either i do preperation for internship or i do preparation for masters. Please advise me or suggest me some tips for both.
Ans: Thank you for contacting me. Deciding between pursuing an internship and preparing for a master's degree depends on your individual goals, career aspirations, and current circumstances. An internship provides hands-on experience in a professional setting, allowing you to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world problems, whereas, getting a master’s degree from a top college can open up new career opportunities, increase your earning potential, and position you for leadership roles in the future.

Internships allow you to explore different industries, roles, and career paths, helping you clarify your career interests, whereas, getting a master's degree can enhance your professional qualifications, increase your marketability, and improve your prospects for career advancement.

Please remember, regardless of whether you choose internships or further studies, try to focus on building your technical skills, particularly in areas relevant to your field of study. Take advantage of opportunities to learn programming languages, algorithms, machine learning, and other AI-related topics through coursework, online tutorials, workshops, and projects.

I would recommend you manage both. Consider factors such as your career aspirations, academic interests, financial situation, and time frame, and choose the option that aligns best with your long-term objectives. If you have any specific questions or need further advice, feel free to ask me on Rediff Gurus.

Hi , I wish to “Write in English” as a Profession , as that happens to be one of my core competency . It gives me a lot of soulful satisfaction & propels me to continue writing further . My Drafting & command over English Writing has been my primary strength right from my schooling days but I committed the mistake of not choosing it as a career . Hence , Post doing my B.E. & M.B.A. , I worked in decent Corporates for 16 Years but went on to quit the last Job in 2021 as I felt stagnant & monotonous doing what I was into . I was immensely appreciated for my e-mail drafts & Write-ups in all the Organisations I worked in but that had no weightage in my KRA . I did pretty well in my professional career with the exception of the last couple of months wherein I felt a bit lost & as a result , was not enjoying my work . I am into my 44th Year & now convinced to follow my dream professionally ( i.e Writing & penning down what comes my way) but am somewhat clueless how to move ahead . I am not there for the in-vogue content writing stuffs , online blogs etc. but want to write on something substantial or small interesting / soothing write-ups that interests a major chunk of the readers . Kindly help me with all the specific / possible options wherein I can directly target , that would probably yield me results ASAP . Please give detailed info with the probable sources to explore-in , as generic one-liners may not help , as I am blank on whom to approach . Looking forward to your much value added counselling & the probable avenues that may break the ice for me . Thanks & Regards !!! Pls. Keep up with the Good-Work you guys are doing with this Q&A Consultancy Guided Section .
Ans: HI!!
The way you have stated your needs so clearly shows that you have good writing skills, so no doubts about your writing skills.

In the message you mentioned that you quit your job in 2021 and yet you say you are not enjoying work since the last couple of months. A little confusion there for me, I am assuming you are still working. You also mention that you did pretty well professionally, this shows a mind that can work well even when it not totally into the work heart and soul. Try to find positive reasons around your work.
You are 44 you said, at this age we all are at loggerheads with what we studied, what we are doing for a living and what we are passionate about! I have been there..

I need to say a little about myself in order to answer your question. I am an Engineer too, today I am Image Consultant and a Soft Skills Trainer. I used to work with one of the top telecom companies, my Mentor there used to say an Engineer can do anything and me and you are proving that. You are a BE, MBA and you have exceptional writing skills.

As a public speaking skills coach I used to write speeches for clients and help them deliver with panache. One of my long standing clients said no to the classes after I increased the fees. Where did she get her strength from to say no?....AI and Chatgpt, even though she always said it doesn't have the AD (Archana Deshpande) effect!! Why I am mentioning such a personal incident is to help you understand the scenario today.
You want to write good stuff and earn money too, rt? You don't want that typical content writer kind of jobs... so what I suggest is that since a BE MBA is a deadly combo and you are an intelligent man, pls continue to use these to earn money. I want you to google, "platforms for writers to make money" and check all your options, for sometime write and publish on various platforms, send it to various newspapers, see how people respond to you. I know your joy comes from writing so go for it on a day to day basis, schedule it everyday. When you continue to do tasks that bring you joy, your doing all the things that are compulsory becomes easy( like going to office). Test the waters before you quit your well paying job( and yourself mentioned you are doing pretty well). Plan to write a book on a subject that comes easily to you or a book of short stories around your experiences. Today Mrs Sudha Murthy is a celebrated writer, look at her journey as writer, it didn't happen overnight. There is no ASAP here. You want to become a writer professionally, take it slow, start writing, start publishing you work, gauge the readers reaction, keep writing, keep reinventing, it's a creative process, let it flow through you without the stress of earning money through it.... it's joy for you to write, let it remain so!! Create a beautiful space at home to allow the creative juices to flow, continue to write everyday. Apart form writing, check what else brings you joy, on a day to day basis consciously spend time doing things that bring you joy. Enthusiasm/energy for life comes from your joy list. I am listing so many things because you mentioned you are not enjoying your job. I want you to arrive at a place where you enjoy your job( it pays your bills and takes care of your family) and continue to work on stuff you are passionate about. It can be done by living a little consciously and joyously, a little shift in the mindset can do wonders!!
All the very best!!

Hello sir my son is 12 pcm pass out cbse board. But he scored only 68 percent. He want to prepration of upsc. So what idia do you suggest?
Ans: Thank you for getting in touch with me on Rediff Gurus. If your son is interested in pursuing a career in the civil services and preparing for the UPSC (Union Public Service Commission) exams despite scoring 68 percent in his 12th grade PCM (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics) from CBSE, then he should start building a strong foundation in core subjects and gradually expanding his knowledge of current affairs, history, geography, polity, economy, and other relevant topics to clear exam. It is a long-term process that requires consistent effort and dedication hence, encourage your son to start preparing early by familiarizing himself with the UPSC exam pattern, syllabus, and previous years' question papers.

Consider enrolling your son in reputable coaching institutes as well that offer specialized UPSC exam preparation programs. These institutes provide structured guidance, study materials, mock tests, and expert faculty to help candidates prepare effectively for the UPSC exams. UPSC exam preparation requires staying informed about current affairs, national and international events, government policies, and socio-economic developments therefore, motivate him to read newspapers, magazines, and online sources regularly to stay updated and develop a comprehensive understanding of contemporary issues.

UPSC exam preparation can be challenging and stressful. As a parent, provide emotional support, encouragement, and motivation to help your son stay focused and resilient during the preparation process. By following these suggestions and maintaining a disciplined approach to UPSC exam preparation, your son can increase his chances of success in the competitive civil services exams. Encourage him to stay committed to his goals, persevere through challenges, and pursue his dreams with determination and enthusiasm. Best of luck!

Moreover, to boost your application for a scholarship, you should acquire pertinent job experience or take part in extracurricular activities within your area of expertise. Lastly, I would suggest that you write a convincing statement of purpose and obtain impressive endorsement letters to support your scholarship application. Furthermore, to boost your chances of acquiring a scholarship, I would recommend that you get in touch with former students or faculty members from universities in Australia as this will help you gain meaningful information as well as present networking possibilities.

I have 17 yrs experience in the Recruitment field, yet have Not been able to build my skills. I have not become a manager and so my salary has not grown. I have worked in consultancies only (not companies ) At age 47, I feel burnout, and am without job opportunity due to stability and age . Pl advise.
Ans: Hi!!You have the experience, 17 yrs ….build your future on it! Nothing in life ever goes waste. Look a little deeper into yourself, why is that you didn’t become a manager? What skills you need? Looking the part, leadership skills, public speaking, communication skills? In today’s world you can learn any skill that you want… believe in yourself, perform a SWOT analysis ( Google SWOT ) .
Put everything on paper… you’ll get a lot of clarity and it will no longer overwhelm you. Any age is a good age to start learning. You are just 47… there is still a whole life ahead of you!!
Burnout comes when you stop learning and not doing stuff that brings you joy. Next 30 days., you’ll do the following-
1. 20 mins of physical activity, it can be anything which makes your heart beat faster, brisk walks, dancing non- stop , etc
2. 10-15 mins of any activity which fills your heart with joy,( make your joy list, start doing one of them every day) Your energy for life comes from your joy list!
3 spending time in nature ( nature heals you)
4. Up skilling yourself
Forget the past now, we can’t change it…plan all of your today with one step in the future and it all starts with taking care of yourself..
All the best…

Supposedly there is an event of my office on xyz date and I am incharge of handling the crowd. I am not into any groups and I just know people by their names and designation. Now, I am very scared for no reason (maybe managing alone, getting to the venue alone can be the probable reason). I have never encountered such fear before. Please guide
Ans: Hi!! Thank you for reaching out, the first step to overcoming your fear is already done! You asked for help…. kudos to you!! Pat yourself on the back for that.
Now the next step to overcoming fear is by befriending it…. how do you do that? By just doing it, no thinking, just doing, taking action…the example you have taken of the office event, let’s simplify that for you…
1 put everything on paper, break down the tasks into smaller doable chunks and do it
2. check if some of the tasks can be delegated, you need not do everything on your own
3. prepare well, visit the venue a day before, become familiar with the surroundings, there is comfort in this activity, it takes the fear out of being in unfamiliar surroundings
4. get to know your crowd, you know the names and designations, now attach a picture of them along with it, see how you are taking the fear of the unknown and making yourself comfortable here..
And remember someone believes you can handle this, they saw your capability and gave you this activity, just believe in yourself, just do it!! Striving for excellence is in your hands, the result is not in yours.If you get 80% of the job right in this event, then it’s a success, there is nothing called as a perfect event!! All the best????

I am 42, and frustrated with my job. Is it okay if I quit my job at this age? I am a BCom graduate with 17 years of experience in accounting and finance. I have some savings. What else should I consider before resigning from my current job? I am currently single and stay with my retired parents.
Ans: Hey there,

Feeling stuck in your career can be as frustrating as getting stuck behind a slow-moving tractor on a narrow road. But fear not, because your situation is not as bleak as it may seem.

Firstly, let's address the age factor. At 42, you're like a fine wine - seasoned, mature, and ready to be savored. Age is just a number, and it certainly shouldn't dictate your career decisions. Many successful individuals have reinvented themselves and achieved great heights later in life. So, if you're feeling the urge to shake things up, don't let the digits on your birth certificate hold you back.

Now, onto the big question - should you quit your job? Well, it's like contemplating whether to ditch a leaky boat for a sturdier vessel. It all depends on your circumstances, aspirations, and tolerance for soggy socks.

Considering your background in accounting and finance, you've got a solid foundation to build upon. But before you bid adieu to your current gig, here are a few things to ponder:

1. Financial Assessment: Take a deep dive into your savings and financial commitments. Ensure you have a comfortable buffer to tide you over during your transition period. It's like balancing your books - make sure the numbers add up before making any drastic moves.

2. Skills and Interests: Reflect on your passions and skill set. Are there areas within accounting and finance that ignite your enthusiasm? Or perhaps you've been eyeing a completely different field? It's never too late to explore new horizons or pivot towards a career that aligns with your interests.

3. Networking: Dust off your LinkedIn profile and start connecting with industry professionals. Networking is the secret sauce to unlocking hidden opportunities and gaining valuable insights. Attend events, join online communities, and don't shy away from reaching out to people for informational interviews. Remember, relationships are like investments - they yield returns when nurtured.

4. Career Goals: Define your career objectives and chart out a roadmap to achieve them. Whether it's climbing the corporate ladder, starting your own venture, or embracing a portfolio career, clarity of purpose will steer you in the right direction. Set SMART goals - Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound - and watch your career aspirations come to life.

5. Support System: Lean on your support system for guidance and encouragement. Your retired parents can offer valuable insights and emotional support during this transitional phase. Having a strong support network is like having a trusty co-pilot - they'll help navigate the turbulence and celebrate your victories along the way.

Remember, life is too short to be stuck in a job that doesn't spark joy. So, muster up your courage, trust your instincts, and embark on this new chapter with gusto. Who knows, the best may be yet to come!

Wishing you smooth sailing and endless opportunities on your career journey!

Cheers!

My son doing CTVS course. I want to know what are the higher studies available in india or abroad?
Ans: Hello EZHIL,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. I am happy to hear that your son is studying Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery (CTVS) course. You would be glad to know that studying overseas can expose your son to other methods and viewpoints in the domain of cardiothoracic and vascular surgery (CTVS), in turn, providing him with a comprehensive education. Concerning your query, I would like to let you know that we only deal with overseas education and therefore, would only be able to suggest certain possibilities for higher education overseas.

Master of Science (MS) or Master of Surgery (MCh) programs in cardiothoracic and vascular surgery are offered by a number of foreign universities. Thorough instruction in both theoretical knowledge and practical abilities are offered by these programs. Next coming to fellowship programs, a number of prestigious medical institutions provide CTVS fellowship programs. Specialized training across a broad range of cardiothoracic and vascular surgery topics, including minimally invasive procedures, transplantation, and paediatric heart surgery are offered by these programs. Pursuing a Ph.D. in cardiothoracic and vascular surgery (CTVS) can be a desirable choice for individuals who are passionate about academics and research. With an emphasis on cutting-edge research approaches, these programs enable students to make innovative research contributions to the field. Electives or short-term observerships at prestigious medical facilities overseas can also be looked into by your son. These opportunities enable students to network with professionals in the area as well as provide practical exposure to cutting-edge surgical techniques. Coming to conferences and workshops, I would suggest that he participates in international seminars and conferences related to vascular and cardiothoracic surgery. These meetings provide chances to learn, hone skills, as well as connect with international experts.

I would recommend that your son conducts an extensive study taking into account variables viz., the syllabus, experience of the faculty members, possibilities for research, and opportunities for clinical exposure prior to selecting a university and program. Not just that, make sure the program you have chosen fulfills all accreditation requirements as well as resonates with your son's professional objectives.
