Question by Rahul on Dec 04, 2024Hindi

Career

How should I decide which IT course to take at the age of 39 with a B.Com degree? I am confused between Full Stack Development (Should I first take a front-end development course and then move to back-end development, or should I directly pursue a full-stack course and expect to get a job?) or Cloud Computing. Also, could you suggest which institute is best in Pune? Finally, is it better to learn and complete the course offline or online, considering the employer's preference i.e., do employers give more preference to candidates who studied through regular offline classes or those who studied online?

Ans: Always an employee will prefer a candidate who did off line course than online course. Secondly do yopu have a back ground of Science in 12th Standard. If not then you need to know Mathematics of 12th Standard ( at least a part of it) thoroughly. Secondly I would advice you to go for online certification course in Data Science, Cloud Computing, AI and Machine Learning. But before going for these certification courses you must see the syllabus and practice the basic requirements by viewing the YOU TUBE videos of the topics and there are ample study materials available in net. But without practising the basic never start the courses, you will then end in misery. So learn the basic and then start. Off line course is not recommended at this age. No need to go for a degree course. It will be of no use at this age. Go for good certification courses offered by good organizations which are having collaboration with reputed IITs like Bombay/Madras/Roorkee. Best of luck. Just follow me. MAY GOD BLESS YOU.

Question by Leena - Dec 08, 2024Hindi

Career

Hi, I am 50 years old. I started my career in IT startups after completing my PG in Computer Applications. I worked for around 2 years in different companies. There was a 4-year gap after my marriage. Then, I worked as a computer teacher in a private school for 10 years, followed by 4 years as an online coding tutor. I have financial liabilities, and now I want to pursue a course to change my career. Considering my interest in IT and my experience in teaching, I am confused about which course to take. I am torn between two options: whether I should pursue a B.Ed. course to earn more salary in teaching, or follow my passion and take a certificate course in AI. However, I am unsure if I will be able to secure a job in IT with limited experience in the field. Age is also a factor in both options, but given my financial liabilities, I feel it's a "do or die" situation. Please help.

Ans: Certificate course in AI WITH YOUR PRESENT JOB IS BETTER. CODING JOB MARKET IS EVERGREEN.

I'm a bsc botany graduate and now got admission and doing msc. I'm in first year and just gave my 1st semester exam but somehow now i feel i can't do botany at all its not just in my interest. I can't continue further with it as i dont think there's much scope too. I have interest in fields like geography or law related subjects. I'll be attempting for upsc too this year and also had a second thought to go for Law. Should i drop the msc? ....I've cried a lot thinking about that and its affecting my mental health too.

Ans: Hello dear.
First I would like to suggest that, in any way, you first complete your M.Sc. (Botnay) either with interest or without interest. Who told you that there is less scope in Botany? There are a lot of career options after M.Sc. (Botany).It is good that you are interested in geography and are attempting UPSC this year. Dear, along with your M.Sc. you can easily appear for UPSC and do the study of Geography, after completing your M.Sc. you can take the admission to Law course. Many people do the law even after their retirement or in due course of their service. There is no need to cry about the things which happened to you.
Suggestions: (1) Completer M.Sc. (Botany) by any means (2) Space-time to read Geography and UPSC Syllabus (3) Develop your overall personality and try to engage in some extracurricular activities of your interest.
Best of luck for your upcoming bright future.

Hi, I am a new investor 41 yrs old, so far10L invested in various MF categories. Here are list of investments through SIP’sand lumpsum: 20K in Nippon Large Cap, 15K in Quant Mid cap 15K in ICICI Pru multi asset 15K in Parag Parekh flexi cap 15K in Edleweiss small cap 1L lumpsum in Motilal Oswal mid small Healthcare index fund 2L lumpsum in ICICI Pru all season bond fund 12.5K/month in PPF Can I achieve my retirement goals, both child education (9 yrs old & 5 months old), marriage etc. and is there a need to balance my portfolio. Also is there any need me to consider in other investments options.

Ans: Hello;

Your current lumpsum and monthly investment into mutual funds may be adequate to meet the education and marriage requirement of your kids. (~2 Cr)

Apart from that it may provide a retirement corpus (~5 Cr).

If you have a female kid invest in SSY(12.5 K per month) since the interest is more then PPF and other benefits are similar only with different withdrawal stage.

Also you may supplement your retirement planning through NPS (~20 K per month).

Review performance of your funds annually with reference to the category average and benchmark.

I am 48 , Income: Take home 2.5 L / pm , PPF amount 47 L , NPS - 20 L , FD- 37 L , Life Insurance - 80 L, Expenses 75 k /pm . Please advice me a plan for 2 L income / pm from 2036.

Ans: Hello;

You may need a corpus of 6 Cr to generate a post-tax monthly income of 2 L+. (Assuming 6% annuity rate and 30% tax)

Assuming your existing investment stay and continue till 2035(PPF, NPS, FD) it may grow into a cumulative corpus of 2.93 Cr.(12.5 K pm into PPF+47 L @ 6.9%, 20 K pm into NPS+20 L @ 8%, FD of 37 L @ 7.4%)

So you need to fill the gap of (6-2.93=3.07 Cr) through monthly sip.

You may begin with a monthly sip of 1 L into a combination of pure equity mutual funds and step it up each year by a minimum of 3% to reach your target in 11 years.

Here the assumption is that you have term life insurance of 80 L with no maturity value.

If it's an endowment policy then assuming maturity value of 80 L you may attain your target with a flat monthly sip of 83 K into a combination of pure equity mutual funds.

Make sure to move your gains from equity funds into liquid funds as you approach closer to your retirement to avoid it getting affected by market volatility.
