Working in finance sector age 43 and not getting any growth as per my age and experiance. Please suggest what to do?? Should i change the sector or start some business of my own

Ans: A gradual transition or experimenting with part-time initiatives in a different field or starting a side business while maintaining your current job can help you explore new opportunities without taking significant risks.

Ultimately, the decision should align with your personal and professional aspirations. Weigh the pros and cons of each option and consider what will make you most satisfied and fulfilled in your career.

Why is there a lack of growth? Is it due to a lack of opportunities, skill gaps, or a restrictive work environment? Understanding this is crucial.

Are there any new roles, departments, or areas within finance that interest you? Networking within your industry might uncover fresh opportunities.

Leverage your experience by offering consulting services in finance. Freelancing or consulting roles might offer flexibility and the potential for growth in various projects and industries.

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.
Ans: I find your first few sentences very negative. Please get a hold of yourself and regain your lost confidence. To start from scratch at this stage is not advisable but one can branch off into related fields about which you know the best. Change your attitude, think positive and the solutions will come to you! Other than this is really cannot suggest anything specific since the information given is inadequate.
