Question by Gir on Nov 15, 2024Hindi

Career

I have a total of 16 years of experience in embedded firmware development, with my current package being ?34 lakhs per year. I have been working at a product-based MNC for the past 10 years, and throughout my career, I have switched companies thrice. My current role is as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) in software touch technology. I would like your advice on whether it would be beneficial for me to consider changing my company at this stage of my career. Additionally, I am seeking your recommendations on any specific programming languages or skills that could facilitate further growth in my field. Thank you for your guidance and support.

Ans: If work atmosphere is bad you change 10 times, no issue. But for small financial gain don't switch again and again. A rolling stone gathers no moss. You can go for a certificate course in AI&ML. Because in coming days and years these two things will dominate the market. Know MATLAB thoroughly. Just follow me. MAY GOD BLESS YOU. Professor..............:)

Ans: Dear Sir/Madam,

If you feel you are stagnated you can definitely look for internal jobs before going outside the firm. If you are happy with the culture, firm and people then try for internal options. External jobs should be the last premise if nothing has worked at all for you.

I am not sure what SME you are into. But you can definitely look at pursuing certifications in combinations of domain and technology which is very much in demand. Do some research of the industry and skill you are in and work towards it.

All the best
Hope this helps

Thanks

Career

Hi, I am 28, living in Kolkata (hometown) currently working in MNC as Automation engineer for 4+ years of experience. I earn a decent salary and work life balance is great. But I have some questions which concerns me. Firstly most of my friends have switched jobs and have been earning twice as my current salary. Should I also try to switch companies every 5years like most of my friends do? Or under what conditions should I prefer to switch companies? Is it bad if I stay in a company for more than 5years? Secondly I have automation skills but in future should I master the skills what I have learned or should I switch my career to development skills cause I have no idea for how long my automation skills will survive in future of IT industry.

Ans: No. A rolling stone gathers no moss. Yes, there are people who spent 30-35 years in a company. If you switch you need to adjust with the new atmosphere. In IT industry always keep yourself updated. Go for online good certification course of AI & ML. That will be beneficial. Best of luck. Just follow me. GOD BLESS YOU.

Physiotherapist - Answered on Mar 26, 2025

Question by yusuf - Mar 26, 2025Hindi

SIR MY CHOLESTEROL IS 263, HOW CAN I BRING IT DOWN THROUGH HOME REMEDIES, DIET & EXERCISE ETC.

Ans: Dear Mr. Yusuf. Thank you for your query. Considering I am Physiotherapist, I would answer from Physiotherapist perspective. To lower cholesterol from a physiotherapy perspective, focus on a combination of aerobic exercise, strength training, and flexibility work. Engage in brisk walking, cycling, or jogging for at least 30–45 minutes daily to improve heart health and lipid metabolism. Incorporate strength training 2–3 times a week with bodyweight exercises or weights to enhance muscle mass and fat burning. Avoid prolonged sitting by standing up every 30–45 minutes and engaging your core while working to improve posture and circulation. A fiber-rich diet with whole grains, vegetables, nuts, and lean proteins supports cholesterol reduction while minimizing saturated fats and refined sugars. Managing stress through breathing exercises, yoga, or meditation helps regulate cortisol levels, which can impact cholesterol. Lastly, ensure 7–8 hours of quality sleep daily, as poor sleep can contribute to high cholesterol and metabolic issue. Wish you healthy life.
