Hello sir, I have completed my b.tech and have 5 yrs of experience in IT industry. I took break of 5yrs on maternity. Now I feel I can't take the IT industry pressure with family commitments and 2 small kids around. What is the suitable career for me now? Can I write any govt exams as I am 32 now.?

Ans: Thank you for reaching out to me on Rediff Gurus. Transitioning to a career that offers a better work-life balance and aligns with your family commitments is a wise decision. With your background in IT, you may transition into project management roles where you can utilize your organizational and leadership skills. Project managers often have more predictable schedules and may offer opportunities to work remotely. You can work as a freelancer or consultant as well. It will allow you to have more control over your schedule and workload.

Regarding Indian government exams, while age restrictions may vary depending on the specific exam in our country, many government exams have strict age limits. You can find it at https://www.employmentnews.gov.in/

Kindly research the eligibility criteria for the exams you're interested in and check if you meet the requirements. You may be eligible for various government exams related to administration, banking, or public service.

I believe balancing family commitments and career aspirations is possible with the right approach and planning. Best of luck! Feel free to contact me on Rediff Gurus if you need further assistance or help.

My daughter Passed out 9.5gpa and was offered job with TCS and Tech Mahindra almost few weeks apart from each other in the month of July end 2024 and offer was given for TCS in July first week and Tch Mahendra in end July,but tech Mahindra followed up with Joining letter immediately,but my daughter choosed TCS it has been three months since but no Joining letter received,2weeks back was asked to attend an exam which she undertook ,why so much delay by TCS? Was it a wrong decision to let go off Tech Mahindra?Pls reply also suggest what to do now? should we wait or look out elsewhere?
Ans: Yes. Certainly it was a wrong decision. A bird in hand is worth than two birds in bush. She must have accepted the offer of Tech Mahindra, After selection why TCS is again taking test? This is not ethical. But now if she approaches Tech Mahindra probably she won't get a response. So try elsewhere. Mind that DECISION DECIDES DESTINY. If your decision is wrong you are bound to fail. So no more lamenting over the spilt milk. In future take correct decision. Secondly her GPA is too high. Many times organizations don't select very high GPA candidates, because their stability becomes a question mark. Due to very high GPA they never become satisfied with any job. They always think they are underpaid and deserve more. Please keep one thing in mind once you join a job your GPA becomes dead, then your performance will decide your future prospects. Just follow me. Best of luck to her. GOD BLESS HER. Professor................:)
