My quest for growth pulled me towards IT industry with scope of learning different technologies and languages . I worked hard for a major IT firm for almost 2 years as a project developer and got onsite opportunity as well. But working on the same technology was getting on my nerves. I wanted to work in other projects to learn and work on other languages but to no avail. Gradually I was feeling I was not doing something, for which I am born. And one day I decided to quit this whole drama to restart my life again .
It was New Year with me being jobless with high dreams.
After doing job for almost 3 years , no message was being received saying “Your account has been credited with Rs. XXXXXXX”. My mother started getting tensed“ If you cant bag a job why did you resign?” . As I was topper in my whole study life, my relatives left no moment to comment “What is the use of so much study if she now needs to be get married to live?” All these were devastating my courage but I kept going.
Unemployment is hard, Taunts are harder and Uncertainty is hardest.
Why do I feel like something bad is going to happen to me?
The Deeper we Fall, the Higher we Rise.
The journey wasn't easy. All my friends were employed. Social interaction therefore was limited. My peers had started going on-site to Europe and USA or enrolled for MBA programmes in some of the best institutes. Some had even benefitted from job switches, an option I clearly didn't want . Each day each moment was spent thinking “There is something for Me”
So then the cycle of Govt Job preparation started as a full time job.( it was always with me in pieces)
My failures led to success finally. My dream came true to become Govt Oficer in WBSETCL. The wait, struggle, the effort was worth it.
Once I decided to invest my time in job preparation there was no looking back. I gave mock tests daily. Brushed up my general and engineering knowledge. I stopped using any social media except Youtube for study purpose. There were a lot of failures initially when I tried my luck in diffrent exams . My desperation reached peak when I had started giving all sorts of exams like SSC CGL, Selection Post, CHSL, SBI PO, SSB other than Engineering jobs in my stream. Each day was same just Study-Eat-Study-Sleep-Repeat.
Just after passing out from my college, I started working in a renowned Telecom Company as Graduate Engineer Trainee - my first exposure to an industrial world. Though job profile was good, possibility of career growth I found limited there, specially in India. So after 8 months I decided to switch my profile to the most expanding field of India.
