Question by V on Sep 09, 2024Hindi

Career

My son has completed his MTech Big Data Biology in June 2024 from SASTRA Thanjavur with a CGPA score of 9.15. First class with distinction. My question is whether it is advisable for him to pursue Phd in SASTRA in his core field. On the other hand can he look out for job opportunities in his core area. However it is observed that presently the openings in his area is not encouraging and pay wise also not that attractive. Pursuing and successfully completing Phd in Sastra would be useful for his post doctoral studies in India or abroad. Please advise. From V NARASIMHAN Father

Ans: I would encourage him to look for a job which with his exceptional scores will be easy, though may take a bit of time. Let him begin, perform and higher position add salary will follow target than really for 4 years for PhD and then look for a job. While doing his job he can explore research opportunities, fellowship overseas. He should also seek advice from the senior faculty and placement director at Sastra. Wishes for an early career break.

Career

I am aged 49 with a 27 year career in IT - 21.5 years as individual contributor and rest in leadership role. In my last employment, I was asked to go after successfully executing a project; later on, I found that they hired me just for that project only. For the last 4 months, I have been applying for jobs but it looks like that my age goes against me. I have completed a four month course in AIML, learning new programming languages and keeping myself abreast with the latest trends. The differentiating aspect of my leadership is being hands-on; while the team gains confidence, my peers and leaders feel that I am being too indulgent. In some of the interviews that really went well, I was rejected as my technical capabilities seems to have threatened the incumbents. I have achieved the financial freedom and doesn't require a salary to keep the kitchen fires buring but I crave an engagement to retain my knowledge. Please guide

Ans: Hello

As you want to work, suggest you keep exploring opportunities.

Since you have achieved financial freedom, you may consider freelance assignments or even project based assignments, this will ensure you are working and at the same time bring varied experiences.
