Hey I am a 29 yr old male , 5 yr ago I worked at private sector bank then I left my job and started preparing for upsc and unable to perform well now I don't have any career option beside I m just a bcom graduate

Ans: It is good that you tried to follow a certain path but did not succeed. Accept this reality and move ahead and the pursue a career of your choice. You must appreciate the fact that the UPSC exam preparations lent you lot of experience, learnings that you can leverage. Best course for him would be to upskill his computer science knowledge as this is one area that can lend opportunities to work from home. There are several online forums that can open up job opportunities. Similarly he can connect with his network of friends and classmates from your college over Linkedin or Whatsapp or Facebook groups and seek connections to jobs that his network may know.

Ans: You should decide on the area of interest and then work towards it. Check what you like - if you do not like Finance, then do you like Marketing or Operations. One option is to work in a startup where you will be working in different domains that would help you identify your interest. You could also identify what part of your job you liked and then decide on what you want to pursue.

Ans: Geethika Madam, You can make a decision based on your educational qualifications and interests. Identify approximately 5-7 domains that pique your interest, and, if feasible and within your budget, consider pursuing online certifications to advance your journey. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future.

Ans: Hello dear.
I am glad to hear that you graduated in Mathematics (Hon) and that too from DU in 2021. Trying and not getting success in competitive exams is a part of life. Very few got success in the exams like UPSE or other parallel exams but the rest of the students do not get depressed. You have wasted your years rather you learned a lot more. Remember a failure person can become a good coach and can give better guidance. There are many examples where failed candidates have started their coaching centers in their respective fields. Even you can also try. You can try your career options, particularly in fields like finance, data analysis, actuarial science, research, and teaching, with roles including Actuary, Statistician, Data Scientist, Financial Analyst, Market Research Analyst, Operations Research Analyst, Mathematician, and Lecturer/Professor at various academic institutions.
But above all, if you are thinking of preparing for CAT, then a year gap is not more, and remember, you have to hit the target/goad up to the age of 28 only! Yet 2 attempts are in your hand! If your financial situation permits you, and you are dam sure about your preparation then you can take the chance else choose other career options as mentioned earlier to you.
