I am a CS and have done LLB from an average college. I am working as a law officer in public sector bank since last 2 years. However, I am not satisfied with my career compared to my qualifications. Should I switch to private sector? And in which area? Corporate firm or MNC or Indian Company?
Ans: Deciding to switch from the public sector to the private sector can significantly impact your career trajectory. The decision should be based on your interests, long-term career goals, and what aligns best with your qualifications.

1. Evaluate the differences between the public and private sectors. The private sector often offers different work cultures, faster growth opportunities, and potentially higher financial rewards. Assess if these factors align with your career aspirations.

2. Consider what area of law or corporate work interests you the most. Depending on your specialization or interest within law (such as corporate law, contracts, intellectual property, etc.), you can look for opportunities that match your expertise

Take the time to reflect on your personal aspirations and what aspects of your career bring you satisfaction. Determine how a potential switch might align with your long-term career goals and personal growth.

Before making any decision, network with professionals in the areas you're considering and seek advice from individuals who have made similar transitions. Their experiences can offer valuable insights and help you make an informed decision about your career shift.

Conduct market research to identify potential opportunities and create a business plan to outline your goals and strategies.

Utilize your professional network, including colleagues, classmates, and industry contacts, to explore job opportunities and gather insights about different career paths. Attend industry events, job fairs, and networking seminars to expand your connections and learn about potential openings in your field.

Hi sir, I am 40 yr old having work-expereince of 10 yrs behind me in ITes, customer support & service, banking and sales & marketing (product). My life till now can easily be converted into a bollywood biopic having its own twist & turns, roadblocks, struggles laughter, joy and sorrow. Change is the only constant in life and that exactly applies in my case. Although it has been a satisfactorily life till now given that I know myself and how I lead my life. Whenever I start to read something new I feel like going deep into it. I am also easily attracted to novel things & concepts. I usually get into procastination mode whenever I come across something entirely new and start to imagine myself trying it out in realilty.Why does this happens? Why can't I focus on one single thing at a time and see it to completion? I know in todays world generalists are looked down upon and it is an era of specialists, experts and professionals having good domain knowledge of their area of work. It is always better to be an expert than be a jack of all trades (which seems very filmy nowadays where a hero is expected to do everything on his own). Lately I have developed an avid interest in technology and i keep on reading various articles & books on IT and technology. I am also pursuing an online cyber security course from Great Learning Institute, Bangalore. I want to know am I going in the correct direction in life or is it something else I should do which ensures more satisfaction in life? Lately, I have become bit irriiated as well due to the above reasons as I tend to do multiple things at a time (multitasking). My parents are also fed up of me now. My mother keeps nagging me all day.I dont know how to really deal with her, as she always finds perfection in everything. That becomes too much at times. Does this happens in every household? Should I go out and travel to some place in order to temporarily escape from all this? Kindly suggest me some course of action. Pls answer. Thanks
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
You will be distracted and keep trying new things until you actually figure out what you want for yourself in life.
- How does you life seem like a few years down the line?
- What must you do NOW to actually get to where you want in life?

And to answer these questions, you first need to identify a strong, solid goal in life. Either you work with a mentor or your boss or a friend or an expert who can help you identify your goal and purpose. That might help you stay the course and actually streamline your thoughts, your job and your daily life.
Travel used for learning is great but using it to escape only worsens things...So, work on Goal-Setting!

All the best!

This Ramayan has left me baffled , What should I do ??? .....
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
The reason to marry for you mainly has been companionship, a mother for your daughter...
And marriage is not a transaction BUT a meeting of minds...when there is no compatibility, there is no space for agreeing on the same things or wanting to make things work which is possibly what has happened with your 2nd and 3rd marriage.
If you want this marriage to work, there has to be an equal commitment by both of you, so, start by emotionally bonding first. Slowly build on this by making goals for the marriage and the future...your only goal can't be mother for your child...not all women are going to readily accept this and some may even falter along the way. Allow the lady and your daughter to bond together for sometime so they develop a unique relationship...
Understand that transactional relationships do not last; so, invest enough time in building trust in that companionship for it to become something meaningful

All the best!
