Hello Sir, I am 39 years old, married and have 10 years old daughter. I work in a BPO (Risk and Compliance Department) since I was 23. Since I was not ambitious during my college days and till now I have no goals, no aim, no passion, the current job I find it very boring. I am stucked at an Analyst level since last 17 years. Also, with lot of family issues at my home, my mind does not work openly and have stucked in the comfort zone. I am a hard working person but not smart working. My wife is a housewife and have no other income other than my job. I want to grow, do lots of hard working but due to lack of self confidence, I always have a fear to get at TL or Manager level. Also, I am not sure which industry I have interest in. It is only since 17 years, I am doing this job, I tell everybody that I am from a BPO sector. But I really want to earn more so that I can fulfill my family needs but please help me in which direction I should go and Howww? I know at the age of 40, I cannot start working in a new sector with no prior experience but really is it too late to change the sector? and if no, Please suggest me any industry where I can start from scratch, learn new things and can work with great interest and can grow myself.
Ans: I find your first few sentences very negative. Please get a hold of yourself and regain your lost confidence. To start from scratch at this stage is not advisable but one can branch off into related fields about which you know the best. Change your attitude, think positive and the solutions will come to you! Other than this is really cannot suggest anything specific since the information given is inadequate.

I am working as an advisor in bpo and I am 34 yr old now I want to change my career what are the relevant carreer option for me?
Ans: At 34 years old, with experience as an advisor in a BPO, you have developed valuable skills that can be transferable to various other industries and roles. Transition into a customer success role where you can leverage your experience in customer service and relationship management to ensure client satisfaction and retention. Customer success managers typically work closely with clients to understand their needs, address concerns, and maximize the value they receive from products or services. Consider a career in sales, where you can use your communication skills and persuasion techniques to promote products or services and generate revenue for a company. Sales representatives often engage with potential customers, build relationships, and close deals to meet sales targets. Explore opportunities in business development, where you can focus on identifying new business opportunities, forging partnerships, and expanding the client base. Business development executives play a crucial role in driving growth and revenue for organizations by prospecting for new clients and nurturing existing relationships. Consider a career in operations management, where you can oversee day-to-day business operations, optimize processes, and improve efficiency. Operations managers often work cross-functionally to coordinate activities, allocate resources, and drive continuous improvement initiatives to achieve organizational goals. Explore opportunities as a project coordinator, where you can apply your organizational skills and attention to detail to manage projects from initiation to completion. Project coordinators typically assist project managers in planning, scheduling, budgeting, and monitoring project progress to ensure successful outcomes. When exploring career options, consider your interests, strengths, and long-term career goals, as well as the skills and experiences you've gained in your current role. Networking, conducting informational interviews, and seeking guidance from career counselors or mentors can also help you explore potential career paths and make informed decisions about your next steps.

I have completed my msc in biochemistry n now doing internship but I am confusing about my future because I see this field don't pay me inuff for life even for future... N don't have more jobs in Maharashtra. I don't like production jobs but in Pharma only production pay much so what can I do .. Can u suggest me which job is high payable after Msc biochemistry
Ans: Hi Nandu,

Greetings!

Could you please let me know which year you completed your course and whether you are currently doing an internship or apprenticeship? An internship is part of the curriculum, where students gain practical training, sometimes with a stipend and sometimes without. After completing your course, you can opt for an apprenticeship, which typically lasts one to one and a half years and includes a stipend, usually split 50%-50% between the industry and government.

If you are in the internship phase, please inform me about the specific field you are working in. Initially, you may not expect a high salary, but after gaining expertise in your field, your compensation will improve. Typically, this takes about three years, so it’s important to focus on skill acquisition for a better future.

If your internship aligns with your field of study, I encourage you to continue and consider starting a medical lab or exploring opportunities in medical devices related to biochemistry. However, pursuing a career in pharmaceutical production may not be suitable for you, as it is a different field, and you may find it challenging to grasp the processes involved since you are currently inexperienced in that area.

Please share the specific field of your internship, and I would be happy to provide more tailored advice.
with regards
