Dear Mayank,I am engineering graduate with 10+ years of experience in data centre operations.I have been working for an MNC for the last four years. The company is very good but I am not happy with my professional and personal growth.I am mentioning some issues which I feel restrict me from going ahead in my life and growing in my career.1. I come under pressure immediately. It could be because I want to make everyone happy.2. I get confused a lot. Although I have complete belief on my skills and strengths yet, sometimes, it feels like I am nothing.3. I forgot things very soon because of which I have to work really hard.4. Sometime, it feels that I am getting hopeless with things.5. I have a fluctuating mind. I have to make great effort to be focused.6. I cannot manage my time due to all this. As a result, neither my boss nor my family is happy.It would be great to have your guidance in solving these problems.Thanks and regards,Name withheld on request.
Ans:

Hi.

These are some practical things you can do to help you resolve most of the issues you shared.

1. Start your day early with some positive thoughts and physical activity. The way you begin your day determines how the rest of the day will go.

2. Spend quality time with your family.

3. Do practise some meditation or yoga as that will help you increase your concentration.

4. Keep your cell phone away from you when at work; check it once, for five minutes, every hour.

5. Find a good mentor at work with whom you can share your concerns openly.

6. Engage in your hobbies.

7. Get good quality sleep.

1. I have a SIP of Rs 75,000 per month across ICICI/ India Opportunities Fund, ICICI/ Value Discovery Fund, ICICI / Transporation & Logistics Fund, Axis Flexi Cap Fund, Canara Robeco Emerging Equities, Aditya Birla SL Focused Equity Fund(G) and HDFC Mid-Cap Opportunities Fund(G). I want to continue investing Rs 75k per month for the next 10 years. Assuming an average return of 8-12%, how much corpus will I be able to build by 2034?
Ans: It is difficult to predict the exact corpus amount you will accumulate by 2034 due to the following reasons:

• Market Fluctuations: Equity mutual funds invest in stocks, and the stock market fluctuates over time. This means that the actual returns you will get can be higher or lower than the estimated range of 8-12%.
• Fund Performance: The performance of each mutual fund you have chosen can vary. Some funds may outperform the average market return, while others may underperform.

However, I can provide you with an estimated range of corpus amounts based on your SIP amount, investment period, and expected return rate. Here's how you can calculate it:

SIP Calculator: You can use an SIP calculator available online or provided by your mutual fund provider. These calculators take into account your monthly investment amount, investment tenure, and expected return rate to estimate the maturity amount.

Manual Calculation (Simplified):

• Total Investment: Multiply your monthly SIP amount (Rs 75,000) by the number of months you will invest (10 years * 12 months/year) = Rs 9,000,000
• CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate): This is the average annual return you expect on your investment. Since you expect a range of 8-12%, consider different CAGRs within this range (e.g., 8%, 10%, 12%)
• Future Value Formula: Use the Future Value (FV) formula to calculate the estimated corpus amount for each CAGR. You can find the FV formula online or in finance textbooks.

Example:

Let's say you calculate the future value for a CAGR of 10% using the FV formula:

FV = P * [(1 + r)^n - 1 ] / r

Where:

• FV = Future Value
• P = Monthly Investment (Rs 75,000) * Investment Tenure (120 months) = Rs 9,000,000
• r = Expected Return Rate (as a decimal) = 10% / 100 = 0.1
• n = Number of compounding periods (monthly in this case) = 120 months

Estimated Corpus with 10% CAGR:

FV = Rs 9,000,000 * [(1 + 0.1)^120 - 1 ] / 0.1 ≈ Rs 69,531,106

Repeat the FV calculation for other CAGR values (8% and 12%) to get a range of possible corpus amounts.

Important Note: These are just estimates, and the actual corpus amount you will get may be different.

Here are some additional points to consider:

• Diversification: You have chosen a good mix of funds across different categories (large-cap, mid-cap, flexi-cap, and sectoral). This helps diversify your investment and potentially reduce risk.
• Review your SIPs: Periodically review the performance of your mutual funds and adjust your SIP allocation if necessary.

I hope this helps!

When addressing the resume gap, focus on highlighting the skills, experiences, and accomplishments gained during your tenure as an assistant professor and your preparation for government exams. Emphasize any relevant projects, publications, or contributions that demonstrate your expertise and commitment to your field. You should also consider exploring alternative career paths beyond teaching and government exams now. Your background in design engineering and mechanical engineering opens up various opportunities in industries such as manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, consulting, research, and development. Develop a targeted job search strategy tailored to your career goals and preferences.
