Hi Mayank.
After completing my MTech in 2008, I have been in teaching jobs in different colleges.
Three years ago, I left my job to concentrate on my PhD. I will be completing my PhD this year.
I want to switch to a corporate job. But I don't have any experience in the corporate world. I have experience in teaching.
Can you please suggest anything for me?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Nayan B

Ans:

Hi Nayan.

Looking at your background and expertise, I would recommend that you consider a corporate job in a technology learning company like Byju’s or Vedantu. There are other such companies as well.

This will be a good blend of your passion for teaching and the perks of a corporate job.

Career
Hello, I’m a teacher in Chennai, and over the years, I’ve built a solid reputation among my students and colleagues. However, despite the satisfaction I get from teaching, my current pay is not enough to meet my financial goals or to support my long-term plans. I’ve been considering transitioning into corporate training because I’ve heard that it can be more financially rewarding, but I’m not sure how to take this forward. I’m thinking of investing in online courses that specialise in corporate training, but I’m hesitant. I’m not sure if it’s worth the time, money, and effort, especially since I’ve already put a lot into my teaching career. How do I evaluate if making this switch is a good decision? Would my experience as a teacher actually help me in corporate training, or will I have to start from scratch? Should I look for a mentor in this field before making the leap? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Ans: Hi!!
It is so heartening to see this statement of yours," solid reputation among my students and colleagues". I feel that you need to build a solid foundation on all the set skills that you currently have. Not everyone can earn the respect of students ...especially in today's world. Consolidate on this... put in a psychology course/ degree and anything else that can solidify your existing skills!
People are ready to invest in their children, always remember this.....If financial goals is an issue, you can switch to a school where the salary is good, good teachers are in great demand. Collect a lot of testimonials from parents and students before you switch. Demand the salary that you deserve. For earning extra income you can start classes, one of my friends earns in crores just by lending extra help to students .As a teacher you know where the gap exists in our educational system, see if you can fill this gap, see what you can offer and make money.
I am investing a lot of time on this aspect of you because you said that you are actually good at it and that you enjoy doing it, not everyone can say this about their work. It is a matter of time you monetize what you love doing ....groom yourself well, look like a powerful person and demand the salary you think you deserve. Learn to invest your money well and let money work for you. Think of opening your own school.

I am a personal coach as well as a corporate trainer, it a crowded place here too, your experience as a teacher will definitely come in handy ,but you will require additional training for becoming a corporate trainer no doubt about it, it builds credibility if you do. It is hard work, it takes time, energy, certification and constant learning in order to be a sought after corporate trainer and demand that kind of money you are referring to. If you are a go getter, smart, well groomed, confident in your communication, you can bring about change in people just by your presence and you are good in planning your sessions well, then go for it...else, you said it, "I've already put a lot into my teaching career", consolidate on this!! Lots of schools are investing in training teachers as well as students, see if you do this, or you can come to me, we can have a chat together and then you can take the leap forward in whatever direction you feel like taking. Your decision has to be a well thought out decision!

Hope this helps...may wisdom be on your side..TC!
