I did B.tech from IIT. I worked in IT for around 4 years. I did MBA and again worked in Finance for 1 year. The two private jobs i did I had to leave them for some reasons or the other. Currently at 30 i am not able to understand what should i do. I was interested in studying Sanskrit so since i left my last job i took admission in MA Sanskrit. Right now i am not sure should i go back to private jobs, continue study or prepare for govt jobs. Or may be i should start my own business but i am not sure in what line. Kindly suggest.

Ans: whoa! thats a lot of anxiety!

Relax!

I would strongly suggest you to consult a personal mentor / career counselor to help you figure out a clearer path.

If you love sanskrit and have done MA in it, why dont you look for teaching opportunities in it?

I am feeling stuck in your IT job and desperately want to make leave my IT job, but unsure about what to do next. Please advise.

Ans: Getting stuck in your current job can be a chance for professional reevaluation and significant development. To do this, evaluate yourself, identify areas of discontent, analyze your strengths, and consider your values. Explore employment alternatives based on your hobbies and aptitudes, such as reskilling or uplifting in fields like computing, artificial intelligence, or digital marketing. Consider new sectors like EdTech, HR, or public policy. Schedule a changeover with at least six months' worth of savings, explore side gigs, network, and seek guidance from successful transitioning professionals. Act now by looking for positions related to your hobbies, negotiating internal moves, remaining receptive to possibilities, and prioritizing remote or flexible employment. Seek help if stress becomes intolerable. All The BEST for Your Prosperous Future.

Sir for BPharma which university is best Chitkara University Punjab or Chandigarh university

Ans: Both universities are private, making it challenging to find detailed information about their facilities, faculty, and infrastructure. According to the Pharmacy Council, every pharmacy institute is required to display its institutional details, but this information is not easily accessible. As a result, it is difficult to make a comparison between the two.
