Career

I am currently working fora leading FMCG company. I have a total experiemce of 20 years + in sales & marketing, Operations . I have been a multitasking individual. My salary is a 1.13 lac per month which is very hard to continue. I was in the insurance , banking but now have been in the FMCG industry for the past 12 years now. I am in a senior level as well. Kindly suggest me what next to do..I want a change and also need a 2nd income to sustain as well.

Ans: Hi Trilok! Your current CTC per month is not matching your work experience. To evaluate whether you are being paid fairly, I use a formula of the years of work experience with a 1.5-2x multiplier - so you should be at 30-40L. The sector that you are working in is experiencing ups and downs thus you should focus on how you can contribute by looking at up-skilling yourself. Sales, Marketing & Operations are integral functions for each and every sector & there is scope for a lot. These are a few steps I will recommend:

- Work on specific projects within your organisation in the domain where you want to build expertise in
- Utilise your time to pursue an online executive/ general management program (more focused on training than theories) to acquire leadership and managerial skills. It will strengthen your business acumen and shall boost your skill proficiencies for taking up added responsibilities within your organisation
- Use metrics to define your efforts within your org so that also allow them to compensate you fairly. Also with the right upskilling you should aim to get the right increment for yourself.

I am 35 year old and holding 5+ years of experience in various domains after completing Deploma in Mech Engg QA-1year(automobile industry 2011-12). 2012-2018-- Degree in Mechanical Engg. Meanwhile due to financial issues I had work with 2/3 companies for short time of period and left because of Exams, whatever work like service engineer and Quality related work I attended. After completing my Graduation in Mechanical Engg I rejoin small firm which was dealer and distribution industry for metal cutting tools. due to convid these company was shutdown and then 2021 I switched to BPO industry and now from April 2023 to till date I am working in Supply chain Management in Infosys as a Sr Executive now could you please advise what should I do because it's really challenging to adapt new skills with less salary I am unable to take risk of new learning. And also facing money problems as now I have to run entire family shall I have to start any business or what should I do to save and retrack my career?
Ans: Why don't you want to continue in SCM?

In my opinion, you should continue to develop your expertise in supply chain management. Given your current role at Infosys, aim to gain more responsibilities and prove your value within the organization. You may also consider obtaining supply chain management certifications like APICS (now ASCM), Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP), or Six Sigma. These can increase your marketability and potential for promotions or salary increases.

Stay updated with industry trends and continue learning to adapt to changing market demands.

Dear sir, Greetings.My son got a rank 1681 in TSEAPCET examination and wants to study B.Tech (BioTechnology) IN JNTU,Hyderabad.He is a BiPC student in Intermediate.Please guide us regarding the prosperity in Biotechnology and how much it is good for professionwise.And what jobs he will get and how much approximate remuneration he will get.He attended NEET exam also and likely to get a seat in MBBS in B category in Telangana.But he shows inclination towards B.Tech (Bio Technology).His point is Medical stream takes more years to complete with post graduation and super speciality.Please give your opinion.Next point is B.Tech(BioTechnology) started in JNTU only 2 years back.Will there be any disadvantage of lab facilities and infrastructure and if so,how will it affect the student"s educatuion and job skills/understanding in the college.Please guide me. Thanks and Best Regards. NVRSrinivas
Ans: Your son's perception of MBBS is right. So, please avoid MBBS. Given your son’s inclination towards B.Tech Biotechnology and preference for a shorter duration course with an early career start, JNTU Hyderabad’s program is a viable choice with promising career prospects. The biotechnology sector’s growth and interdisciplinary nature offer strong professional opportunities. If he is passionate about biotechnology rather than clinical medicine, this path aligns well with his interests and career timeline. Remuneration depends upon his Profile Buidling during the next 4 years, Upgrading his skills, Researching about Job Market through Professional Social Media like LinkedIn etc.

If desired, he can pursue higher studies (M.Tech, MSc, PhD) later in India/Abroad to enhance expertise and salary potential. Meanwhile, the current job market for biotechnology graduates is expanding, with roles in pharma companies, research labs, healthcare startups, and agricultural biotech firms. Job

This balanced approach respects his preference and ensures a strong foundation for a rewarding career in biotechnology. All the best for your admissions!
