i have a civil engineering consultancy firm though i have a mechanical engineering degree.Do you think it is my right choice even if it is running sucessfully till now?

Ans: Hello

As you intend to do business, suggest you understand all the aspects of civil engineering while working, learn from the veterans in the industry.

4 years is too less a time to put in any industry...Don't lose heart you will do great.

All the best.

Ans: I am sure there are opportunities in design in your construction firm as well, discuss with your manager/superiors to see if you can move into a design role. In case it does not work out, try looking for opportunities outside and you will find good options

Ans: Mr. Manan, In fields such environmental impact assessment, sustainability, and renewable energy, environmental consulting experience can be quite helpful. To maximize this, assess your present role performance and grow from it. Think about career paths connected to environmental engineering include government advisory jobs, big corporations, renewable energy companies, or technical consulting. Get certificates, technical skills, and project management certifications to strengthen your qualifications. Examine the long-term advantages of environmental consulting, including exposure to many sectors and chances for concentrating on audits, compliance, or impact studies. Think about career development, either long-term—consider environmental sector entrepreneurship or leadership possibilities—or temporary, working in consulting for two to three years. Last but not least, keep your present position by aggressively networking, thinking about a Master's degree, looking for companies like Ernst & Young, KPMG, Tata Power, or environmental advocacy organizations. Remember that your present situation is an excellent stepping stone; with proactive work, you may design a career path that brings fulfillment. All the BEST for Your Son’s Prosperous Future.
