I have 15 years of experience in physical security and now I wanted to transition into it industry like SDE or web development. Is it possible or wise decision.
Ans: If you are dedicated and take the right steps, you can move from physical security to IT, like software development engineering (SDE) or web development. It seems like a big change, but your experience in physical security has taught you useful skills like problem-solving, attention to detail, and risk evaluation that you can use in IT jobs.

It is important to know that making this kind of change will take time and work. You must learn new technical skills like programming languages, software development methods, and web development tools. To get the necessary skills, it would help to look into appropriate education, like online certificates, diplomas, boot camps, or formal degrees.

Additionally, getting real-world experience through personal projects, internships, or entry-level jobs in the IT field can boost your credentials and assist you in making a smooth shift. It can also be helpful to network with people who work in the same area, look for mentors, and keep up with business changes.

Ultimately, whether or not switching to the IT field is smart depends on how much you love technology, how willing you are to learn, and what your long-term job goals are. If you want to work in software development or web development and are ready to put in the time and effort to learn the skills you need, it can be a very worthwhile and satisfying move.

Hi, I m a CA & 49 years old now, have been in a PSB since 2008. I have been workaholic since inception & I thought why not I should quit & start my practice, which is my dream since I qualified as a CA. Due to economic conditions, I took employment & have been in Bank till now. I know for sure it will take at least 1 to 2 years to achieve break even. With this 15 years of PF & other retirement benefits would back me & my family till my income gets stabilised. Please suggest me.
Ans: You have mentioned you have been with PSB since 2008 i.e. for the last 16-years (from your age of 33-years. This is your 1st job or you used to work before 33-years of age? Secondly, you have not mentioned about your children, how many children you have? what they are studying now & what about their future education goals? In near future, what all financial obligations you have for your children's studies? You have additional qualifications / certifications related to CA after you joined PSB? Before starting your practice, you should decide what all specailized services you can provide? How to get clients? Through Bank's Networks, will you be able to get clients? Where to set up your office? Finance Required to register your Firm & to meet other expenses? Life & Medical Insurance Coverage for you & for your family members? Please take time & think over all these factors. Once you are confident & have planned well, after taking into consideration these factors, you can go ahead. It is suggested, NOT to resign your current job from PSB, UNTIL you fully set up your CA Firm. All the BEST Sir.

Sir, My son is getting in Honour Maths in University of Waterloo, Electrical Engg in NUS Singapore. Here, In india he ia getting Civil in IIT Ghandhi nagar. Any suggestions?
Ans: Ronak Sir, (1) It is advisable to pursue Graduation in India and work for 2-3 years. (2) Or on the basis of his Academic Performance, His Interest, Co & Extra-curricular Activities, His Personality Traits & Soft Skills Development (during his BTech), you can decide for his Masters Abroad, after his Graduation. (3) Or he can work for 2-3 years and then think about Abroad Education. (4) Just to study abroad, some students / parents choose wrong Streams and spend a lot of money without knowing the job prospects there and / or blindly accept the admission, recommended by the Abroad Education Consultants / Firms (5) Before approaching any Abroad Education Consultant, it is always ideal to make a thorough Research (at least basic research) about the Abroad Universities / its QS Ranking / Job Prosects / Work Permit Rules etc. at the same time, keeping in view the Children's Interest / Personality Traits. (6) Regarding his Civil in IIT-Gandhi Nagar, I suggest not to accept the seat, only because he is getting confirmed admission UNLESS he is very much interested in Civil. (7) Please wait for some more rounds in JOSAA Counselling for any other Streams, he is interested in or prefers. (8) Or alternately, you can try to get admission through Management Quota (MQ ) with any one of the reputed / top-ranked College either in your State or anywhere in India you prefer. Donation / Yearly fees depends upon the College / Stream your son prefers / chooses. (9) If still abroad education is preferred by you / by your Son, you can go ahead with any one of the 2-options based on your preferences of Country / Location / University / Fees Structure / Stream. Ronak Sir, I have clarified your doubts. All the BEST for your Son's Bright Future.
