Career

Hello, i have 26 yrs of experience in the IT industry, and currently working as a consultant technical manager for important projects in several drdo labs in Hyderabad for the past few years. Despite being handson in coding, system design, I am also responsible for team management, deliverables, requirement analysis, and stakeholder management. I have an executive MBA from xlri and certification from pmi. Being 54 years of age, what are my options? Are there opportunities for people in the 50s? How about remote work or freelancing opportunities? I kind of find myself stuck and would like to explore opportunities. Any ideas? how to stay relevant in this ever changing world of technology?

Ans: Sumit Sir,
54-year-old with a strong background in the IT field, high-stakes projects, and an Executive MBA from XLRI can still stay relevant and look for opportunities. You can try for freelance consulting, work from home, coach, mentor, and train businesses in Agile methods, stakeholder handling, and team leadership.

To stay current, you can move into academic or research roles as an adjunct professor, work on research projects with universities or think tanks, or start your own business as a niche consultant.

To look for opportunities, make your LinkedIn profile stand out, share stories or insights, actively network, upskill strategically, and build a portfolio. Being old is an asset, but it's important to use it as a unique selling point and be flexible to stay competitive. By carefully using your skills and experience, you can open up many good opportunities and continue to thrive in the ever-changing tech world. All The Best for Your Prosperous Future.

Question by Abin - Sep 14, 2024Hindi

Career

I've just started my SSC preparation at the age of 24. I wasn't a good student during my graduation, so I only achieved 53% marks. However, I believe that if I give it my best, I can crack the SSC CGL exam because I have relatively good marks in my post-graduation (70%). My concern is whether there's any chance that SSC might introduce a minimum graduation percentage requirement for the CGL exam in the future. If they do, all my efforts could go to waste. Could someone clarify if there’s any possibility of SSC implementing such a requirement?

Ans: Abin, The future of SSC's qualifying requirements is uncertain, but it is suggested that the test's emphasis on merit rather than academic grades could be impacted. Performance in the selection process is more important than academic records for most government tests, including SSC CGL. Any changes to eligibility requirements would be made public, and transitional rules may be in place. To prepare, focus on aptitude, reasoning, and topic knowledge in SSC CGL. If concerned about changes, consider other options like state-level government exams or competitive tests. Stay updated on SSC's changes. All The Best for Your Prosperous Future.
