I m a btech CS graduate in 2019 after that i got married in lockdown period but my marriage has broke down in 2023 .since then i am teaching in a school as a computer teacher .Now i want to prepare for UPSC 2025 exam .would it be good decision or should i first settle in trade related govt job as my age is 29??

I have just recently completed my btech in Computer science engineering from a tier 3 engineering college in Kolkata. Being a tier 3 college, there weren't any decent on campus placements. Further, I always wanted to become an IFS( Indian Foreign Service) officer, so always wanted to sit for UPSC after finishing my graduation. But now that I have seriously started thinking about it, I am not sure what to do. I mean I want to pursue UPSC, there is no financial pressure from family, atleast not for the next 2 years but I feel like if I don't make it (since I have to consider the scenario that I may fail to crack the exam), I don't know whether I will be able to get a job after 2 years gap after graduation in IT sector or will I be able to pursue further studies such as MS from USA or MBA from tob b schools in India. I am feeling depressed and helpless as I am unable to decide what to do? Should I just start looking for a job right now or just prepare for UPSC and don't worry about those stuff right now. I would greatly appreciate your answers and views in this matter.

I have completed my graduation and want to give the UPSC exam in 2026. I am not pursuing post graduation and have instead decided to give this time for full fledged preparation. Will not pursuing graduation in these years have any cons during my selection process?

Hi I'm 27 years old girl preparing for Upsc exam. I left my job for preparation I have 2 years of experience in finance but I don't want to work in same field I just hated that job and that's why I started preparing for upsc thinking I would secure a post within 2 years but nothing worked according to my plan. And now I am clueless and feeling helpless how should I restart my career after a huge gap of 5 years..which field I should choose and what options are available for me.
