My Son is 24 yrs old and working in a Big 4 audit firm for 6 LPA..He got trained in Salesforce and has certifications..But no proper work experience since there aren't many projects.. What should he do now for a career growth and can he switch to non technical side in the IT field?..Plse suggest options too..Thanks in advance

Ans: One option is to do an MBA and then move to managerial roles. He would have to prepare for entrance exams like CAT, XAT, GMAT, etc based on his interest. Second option is to do short courses in areas that he is interested in and move to other domain. Third option is to switch jobs and join company where he can work on projects where he can get some relevant work experience.

Hi,I am writing on behalf of my brother.He completed his BE in civil engineering in 2009, but he wanted to be in the IT field.He learnt data warehousing tools like Informatica and was employed for six months in the year 2011 but lost his job.Since then, he did not get a chance to work.He is 35 now. Can you advise what kind of career opportunities has he got?Regards,Krishna

Ans:

Hi Krishna.

As your brother has not been working for a long time, these are the steps I suggest for him to restart his career:

1. Decide what career stream he wants to pursue… is it civil engineering, IT or some other field?

2. Then upgrade his skill levels in that field by taking up a formal course from a good institute.

3. He could also explore being an entrepreneur in a business of his interest.

4. To start his career he should consider part-time task based jobs rather than a full time role.
