What to do..iam really confused to advise him.is it worth to leave his current job? please let me know wt choise he should take? thank you so much in advance.

Ans: Certainly, I can provide some advice for someone looking to enhance their career

1. I would your son to evaluate his skills, strengths, and weaknesses. Consider the long-term career goals and the industries or roles that align with them.

2. Attend industry events, conferences, and seminars to expand his professional network.

3. Update his Resume and LinkedIn Profile. Ensure that the resume reflects his

4. Consider online courses, certifications, or workshops to stay current in his field.

5. Attend workshops, webinars, or training programs to enhance professional development.

6. He can consider Recruitment Agencies or partner with recruitment agencies or headhunters that specialize in his industry.

Job searches can take time. Stay positive, be persistent, and don't get discouraged by rejections. Consider temporary or freelance opportunities to gain experience while continuing the job search.

Ans: If he is not interested in IT, then it makes sense to change career. I don't think doing M Tech in Mech is a solution as it will involve a complete change in field. He can look at reskilling himself by doing a course in a field that he is interested in. Doing an MBA would be a good option where he can look for career growth. MBA usually gives a lot of flexibility in terms of career choices.

Ans: It depends on his interest and the available job opportunities. If he has an interest in technical field then he can do MTech. But if his interest lies more in Consulting then MBA would be preferred as there are a lot of opportunities for Consulting and Technology areas.

Ans: Respected Sir,
First of all, congratulations to your son on getting a Manager-1 role in a reputed bank — that’s a great achievement straight out of engineering!
Option 1: Join the Bank Job (Manager Role)
Pros:
? Reputed position, good salary, job security
? Fast-tracked promotion path in PSU/private banks
? Opens up career options in finance, fintech, analytics, and leadership
? He can still do MBA later (IIM, ISB) if he wants growth

Cons:
? Not related to his ECE core field
? May feel disconnected if he’s truly interested in tech/engineering

Recommended if he enjoys managing, interacting, and doesn’t want deep technical work.
Option 2: Go for Core ECE Job
Pros:
? Stays aligned with his B.Tech specialization
? Better for long-term roles in electronics, embedded systems, chip design, etc.
? May grow in tech-based roles or move to R&D companies
Cons:
? Core jobs can have lower starting salaries and limited growth without a master’s or deep experience
? He’ll need GATE/M.Tech or strong project work to get into top companies
Recommended only if he’s passionate about electronics, devices, or wants to go abroad for MS.
Option 3: Go for M.Tech (through GATE)
Pros:
? Specialization in a core ECE field (VLSI, embedded, etc.)
? Entry into top PSUs, research labs, or higher packages in product companies
? May open door to PhD or teaching if interested

Cons:
? 2 more years of study
? Needs good GATE rank for top IITs or IISc
? Still may not guarantee better job than bank unless in a niche area

Recommended if he’s academically inclined and wants deep core specialization.
