Sir, I have spent 23 years in sales and distribution. There is no career growth. I feel stuck. My energy and ambition are still high, but promotions are slowing, and my younger peers with digital skills are overtaking me. I am open to doing something completely new, learning AI, maybe even starting my own consultancy. Apart from AI, what other skills should I look at? Is it too late to change tracks at this age? What mindset should I adopt to begin again with confidence?

Hi Career Gurus, I'm a 48 year old professional with an engineering and management background. I'm currently stuck in a reasonably decent paying but unfulfilling sales role in the construction equipment industry. I'm good with IoT/digital stuff, as a result of which I was often drafted into digitalisation projects in their incubation stages. I'm pretty confident that I can deliver in this field. With the advent of AI age, and given the background I have, what are the career avenues in AI/ML that could be worth exploring? I'm seriously fed up with the sales culture and every day is a constant struggle to keep myself sane. Please advise. Thanks in advance!

Hello Sir, I am 39 years old, married and have 10 years old daughter. I work in a BPO (Risk and Compliance Department) since I was 23. Since I was not ambitious during my college days and till now I have no goals, no aim, no passion, the current job I find it very boring. I am stucked at an Analyst level since last 17 years. Also, with lot of family issues at my home, my mind does not work openly and have stucked in the comfort zone. I am a hard working person but not smart working. My wife is a housewife and have no other income other than my job. I want to grow, do lots of hard working but due to lack of self confidence, I always have a fear to get at TL or Manager level. Also, I am not sure which industry I have interest in. It is only since 17 years, I am doing this job, I tell everybody that I am from a BPO sector. But I really want to earn more so that I can fulfill my family needs but please help me in which direction I should go and Howww? I know at the age of 40, I cannot start working in a new sector with no prior experience but really is it too late to change the sector? and if no, Please suggest me any industry where I can start from scratch, learn new things and can work with great interest and can grow myself.
