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

Ans: If you are not happy with your job and the project is in red, you need to look for job elsewhere. If you are getting an offer and that smaller organisation is better then you should make a change/switch. But ensure that the new organisation has a good culture and you should not be getting out of a frying pan into a fire!

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.
