Hi, I'm 46 age, doing well in the banking field (Mortgages). I have done my MBA (part time) & my graduation has been distance education. I find my self struggling for promotions due to the education challenges at HR end, even after performing in the top 2-3 across the country. I have done a Product Mangement course (ISB) online. I am open to studying further if it enhances my opportunity of growth & learning. I can't leave my job, pls advise what can I do in such a situation. I want to ensure my remaining years of service are equally terrific. Can't see my self losing for the lack of luck (keeping it short)

Ans: It's admirable that you're seeking to further your career despite facing educational challenges. Here are my 2 cents

1. Consider pursuing professional certifications relevant to your field, such as CFA, FRM etc.

2. Express your interest in taking on new responsibilities or roles that align with your career goals. Discuss your aspirations with your managers and HR department to gain insight into potential growth paths within the company.

3. Seek mentorship from senior professionals in your field. Their guidance and advice can be invaluable in navigating the complexities of career advancement.

4. Keep a record of your accomplishments, successful projects, and any positive impact you've made within your organization. Ensure that your contributions are visible and recognized.
