I am feeling stuck in your IT job and desperately want to make leave my IT job, but unsure about what to do next. Please advise.

Ans: Getting stuck in your current job can be a chance for professional reevaluation and significant development. To do this, evaluate yourself, identify areas of discontent, analyze your strengths, and consider your values. Explore employment alternatives based on your hobbies and aptitudes, such as reskilling or uplifting in fields like computing, artificial intelligence, or digital marketing. Consider new sectors like EdTech, HR, or public policy. Schedule a changeover with at least six months' worth of savings, explore side gigs, network, and seek guidance from successful transitioning professionals. Act now by looking for positions related to your hobbies, negotiating internal moves, remaining receptive to possibilities, and prioritizing remote or flexible employment. Seek help if stress becomes intolerable. All The BEST for Your Prosperous Future.

Ans: There are many options available. You will have to match your interest with what the job market requires. In IT field itself there are many options like Data Science, Data Analyst, Business Analyst, etc. Can go to other relevant fields like Digital Marketing, for which you will have to upskill yourself. Can do so along with your current job.
Developer role may not have a long term prospect with the advent of AI as a lot of developers are losing their jobs.
