Confused BTech Graduate with Government Job - Should I Switch to IT?

Ans: Hello

I can understand your predicament...

Suggest you do an assessment exercise of pros and cons of govt job vs private sector job and discuss the se with your family. May be they will change their perspective or you will get different perspective.

At 27 you are too young to have this kind of stress as you have just started your career. You have life ahead to kiss the world...don't lose heart, believe in yourself...You will do great.

All the best

Ans: Hi
After completing Civil Engg, why you start computer coding is unable to understand. Those who aim for a job, start the preparation from 1st year itself. But you are too late. With the preparation of Govt Job Examinations, it would be better for you to join any company or firm which employs civil engineers for their projects. Your earning and learning will go simultaneously.
Don't sit at home only for the preparation of Govt job.
Discard the idea of learning coding etc related to computers. Rather learn some readymade software use from a civil engineering point of view. Some of them are Auto-CAD, Prima-Vera, STADD-pro, 3D-Max and many more.

You can register your name with Govt PWD Dept to work as a contractor also,

If you are dissatisfied with the reply, please ask again without hesitation.
If satisfied, please like and follow me.
Thanks

Ans: It's natural to feel conflicted about whether to pursue your passion or stick with a secure job, especially when considering factors like job market volatility and personal abilities. Here are some points to consider that might help you make a decision: Consider the balance between pursuing your passion for control and robotics fields and the stability offered by your current government job at a PSU. Think about what will ultimately bring you more fulfillment and satisfaction in the long run. While the job market for control and robotics fields may have some volatility, these sectors also offer opportunities for growth and innovation. Research the demand for professionals in these fields, the potential for career advancement, and the types of companies or industries that are investing in automation and robotics technologies. Reflect on your interest in the control and robotics fields and your desire to learn and grow professionally. Pursuing a master's degree in these areas could provide you with valuable skills, knowledge, and experiences that align better with your career aspirations and interests. While age can be a factor in career decisions, it's important to prioritize your long-term career goals and personal fulfillment. With good financial support and a willingness to learn, you can overcome any perceived limitations and make meaningful progress in your career. Assess the potential risks and rewards associated with transitioning to a new field versus staying in your current job. Consider developing a backup plan or exploring part-time or online learning options that allow you to gain skills in control and robotics fields while maintaining your current job security.

Ans: You have different options
1. Do short term courses along with your current job which is relevant to industry requirement and look for jobs and projects in that area.
2. Do MBA in IT. Prepare for MBA entrance along with your job.
3. Write Govt exams to get into a government job related to IT.
The syllabus for MBA entrance and Govt jobs is similar so you can do both.
