I am working in a defence organization for the last 22yrs, now I want to leave the organisation due to mismanagement and new policies by the top level and I want to prepare for another govt job, is it a good decision.

Ans: Leaving a job after 22 years is a big decision, and it’s understandable that you’re feeling unsure. It’s great that you’re thinking this through carefully. If the mismanagement and new policies are making your work environment unpleasant or stressful, it’s natural to want a change for your mental and professional well-being. After such a long time in one place, moving to another government job could bring fresh challenges, a better environment, and new growth opportunities but take a close look at your skills and qualifications. Make sure they align with the requirements of the government jobs you’re considering. Understand the exams, age limits, and processes for the roles you want. This will help you know exactly what to aim for and reach out to people who’ve made similar transitions. Their advice can give you a better idea of what to expect. It’s not easy to leave a long-standing career, but if you’re sure the current situation isn’t right for you anymore, it might be time to move on. The key is to prepare well, both financially and professionally, before making the leap.

I have completed my msc in biochemistry n now doing internship but I am confusing about my future because I see this field don't pay me inuff for life even for future... N don't have more jobs in Maharashtra. I don't like production jobs but in Pharma only production pay much so what can I do .. Can u suggest me which job is high payable after Msc biochemistry
Ans: Hi Nandu,

Greetings!

Could you please let me know which year you completed your course and whether you are currently doing an internship or apprenticeship? An internship is part of the curriculum, where students gain practical training, sometimes with a stipend and sometimes without. After completing your course, you can opt for an apprenticeship, which typically lasts one to one and a half years and includes a stipend, usually split 50%-50% between the industry and government.

If you are in the internship phase, please inform me about the specific field you are working in. Initially, you may not expect a high salary, but after gaining expertise in your field, your compensation will improve. Typically, this takes about three years, so it’s important to focus on skill acquisition for a better future.

If your internship aligns with your field of study, I encourage you to continue and consider starting a medical lab or exploring opportunities in medical devices related to biochemistry. However, pursuing a career in pharmaceutical production may not be suitable for you, as it is a different field, and you may find it challenging to grasp the processes involved since you are currently inexperienced in that area.

Please share the specific field of your internship, and I would be happy to provide more tailored advice.
with regards
