Respected Sir, Im working for a large software consulting organization and over the last few years, I have lost direction in my career because I accepted what came my way and it did not have a clear direction. Now, Im in a situation where Im identified to play the role of a delivery manager for a large project, which is not organized and is in deep red. Im not keen to continue in the project and asking for release, and at the same time I have got an offer for a smaller organization with a similar profile. Im unable to decide if I should go through with the resignation and join the new company or not. I have thought through from multiple angles and I think the flaw is I do not know what I need, which is causing the problem, although it is embarassing that I find myself in this situation. I need help on how to come out of it

Hi, I am facing a big problem that's affecting my mental and physical health. After working for 10 years in project management in Gujarat, I moved to another organization in Hyderabad (which is near to my hometown). The reason for movement was i felt stagnant in the prev organisation and since my mom and mom in law wanted to stay near to our hometown. The new organization is in a different field, and I felt I could do better. it's been six months that I am not able to do or finish any work. The organization is more in to execution than planning and requires more aggressive approach to project management. I am suffering a lot due to this. And no matter how much I try not able to move out of here. And due to financial pressures I am feeling caught in this constant tense mind. I am always anxious, tense and unable to concentrate on work due to lot projects to be handled. I also see lot of people under me resign and this is affecting my work. Is there anything I could do?

Pradeep, I am a professional with more than 17 years of experience in Operations, team management. Currently I have started working in a global MNC in a global position. Earlier I was working with the same organization for more than 10 years. Then during Covid, I lost my job. Finally, settled down with another company with almost 40% less salary. Though I loved the role and responsibilities there. I was a Senior Team Lead there. I liked the role where I was managing the team, working with the team. But due to some internal politics, I lost my job in that organization too in this year only. Why I am saying politics? Because just before they fired me, I got best performer award and best employee of the last quarter 2024 award. Then I rejoined my old organization with lots of hope. But now I am finiding it difficult to cope up in this global role. The top management expected me to know everything within 3 to 4 months and start delivering. One of the biggest hurdle that I am facing is that earlier when I was in this organization for more than 10 years, I was in another process. This time I got in a role where the process is completely different. Also no proper training is provided. I am not get a fulfiling satisfaction from this role. Also I am not able to get job satisfaction and now I am thinking of quitting and start something of my own. A business venture or a consultancy service. But not sure how to start and also afraid of the flow of income. I have a mother who is suffering from age related problems. Have a little kid of 12 years. My wife is not working. I tried to switch jobs. But it seems that no one is there to take someone who is almost at 45 years of age. I am loosing my hope and confidence day by day. Please help.
