I am a 48 yr old pathologist, MBBS,MD working in Govt Medical College for the last 20 years.I feel stagnated and stuck up as I have lost interest in my subject.Please advise regarding va career change.

Ans: Hello

work related burnout is common...it can be emotionally taxing. Suggest you take 2-3 months break from your current job. Speak with your employer and tell them you will re-join and for this 2-3 months they need not pay you. Use these 2-3 months to recharge yourself...spend some time with family, go out to places of your choice, may be pick up some hobby that you have been wanting to.

After 2-3 months I am sure you will feel refreshed and recharged.

All the best.

sir, i am 43 yrs old, completed my bachelors in Mechanical engg and doctorate from NIT. Presently, working in a private university with research and academic roles and responsibilities. With the interest of students in this domain has gone down drastically during the past few years, can you advice for a change in career like Data science etc as my present ctc is less than 8 lpa
Ans: Even though a career switch from a Doctorate in Mechanical Engineering to Data Science represents a transition that aligns with the growing interdisciplinary nature of modern research and industry I am of the view that you need to build on your years of academic experience in Mechanical Engineering by leveraging your doctorate in Data Science to further your career as a researcher professor in academia by contributing to cutting-edge research, guiding students, and shaping the field through your expertise.
Also explore consulting assignments in companies, especially in engineering and manufacturing, to help them use data science for optimization, predictive maintenance, and process improvement.
By wearing a Data Scientist in Engineering or Manufacturing hat marry your mechanical engineering background with data science skills look for roles that involve analyzing and optimizing engineering processes, designing experiments, and leveraging data for product development.
These are just two out of a host of options that you could explore by helping your university to build strong consulting practice and let your client see value and pay the top dollar. When that happens, the University will find ways to compensate your fairly for your value add.

Hi Experts, I seek your guidance on my mutual fund portfolio. Below are the details: Total Portfolio Details: - Total Invested Amount: ?15,76,159 - Current Value: ?19,35,234 - Total Returns: ?3,59,075 (+22.78%) - XIRR: 20.75% Monthly SIP Contribution: ?1,18,000 Breakdown of monthly SIP contributions across funds: 1. Parag Parikh Flexi Cap Fund Direct Growth – ?30,000 2. SBI Large & Midcap Fund Direct Plan Growth – ?15,000 3. SBI Magnum Mid Cap Fund Direct Plan Growth – ?20,000 4. Nippon India Large Cap Fund Direct Growth – ?30,000 5. Nippon India Small Cap Fund Direct Growth – ?7,500 6. ICICI Prudential Technology Direct Plan Growth – ?10,000 7. Quant Small Cap Fund Direct Plan Growth – ?7,500 8. HSBC Small Cap Fund Direct Growth – ?5,000 9. Edelweiss US Technology Equity Fund of Funds Direct Growth – ?5,000 Can you suggest if I am on track to create 5 CR corpus in 10 years I have ?25 lakh invested in a Fixed Deposit (FD) in my mother’s account, earning an interest rate of 7.75%, to generate tax-free returns. Additionally, I’m planning to purchase a plot worth ?30–50 lakh in the next 1–2 years. Is it a good idea to keep the money in FD for now, or are there better short-term investment options I should consider to maximize returns while keeping the funds accessible for my future purchase? Looking forward to your suggestions! Thank you!
Ans: Hello;

Your monthly sip value adds upto 1.3 L however you have claimed it to be 1.18 L. (Maybe a typo).

Existing corpus(19.35 L) and monthly sip (1.3 L) won't reach 5 Cr in 10 years.

You have two options to make it happen:

1. Increase monthly sip amount to 1.9 L.

2. Top-up current monthly SIP of 1.3 L by minimum 10% each year for 10 years.

Both ways will lead you to a corpus of 5 Cr over 10 years.

You may consider money market mutual funds for parking your funds for a 1 year horizon. Returns may be comparable to FD returns but with flexibility to withdraw anytime. They typically have low to moderate risk.

Happy Investing;

Is doing BBA + Law (Honors) from BITS Law is worth
Ans: Anju, prior to addressing the question, I would like to draw your attention to a recent article in 'The Times of India' which indicates that a majority of law graduates tend to favor employment in corporate settings over practicing in courts. Now, coming to your question, please note, BITS Law School's BBA + LLB (Hons) program is a 5-year program that combines business administration with legal studies. The program focuses on areas such as corporate law, intellectual property, business laws, and dispute resolution. The program offers a strong multidisciplinary approach, preparing students for careers in corporate law, legal consultancy, and management. Its strengths include a business + legal acumen curriculum, industry-driven curriculum, and a reputation for excellence in education and placement opportunities. However, it lacks the legacy and alumni network of top-tier law schools and can be expensive. Career opportunities include corporate and business law, management roles, consulting, entrepreneurship, academia/research, international arbitration, cyber and technology law, corporate governance, and intellectual property rights. The program is worth considering if you aim for a corporate or business law career, are comfortable with the cost and value of the BITS brand, and have excellent industry connections and internships. Build your profile well by the time you complete your BBA+LLB & improve your all other skills required. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future.
