Confused about life
Hey,
Background- 24 M, working in a NBFC at 17 LPA MBA (Tier 2) Bcom, was a CA aspirant (Couldn't clear CA inter)
So At 1.27 AM I am writing this post because I have no clue about my life. I am currently working in the program team of a NBFC and everyday I feel out of place over there. Idk what I like do or what I want to do actually. Its just for the money that I am doing my job For the past 6 months I have been trying to switch to product/strategy/category manager/analyst/Consulting roles but no luck or I am not trying hard enough, I don't know. I want to switch to a better role, a better job profile and a good work culture.
Plus, this guilt of being average education wise is sulking me down. I know all these are existential crisis but it takes over my head, I was a fairly decent kid in school but life became like a roller coaster after school.
Any suggestions/recommendations would be great.
Simple, close your eyes and go to sleep. Stop overthinking. People are living peaceful lives with 10 LPA salaries.
Just stop comparing and complaining always and u will see your life tuning around.
17 LPA at 24 self made is definitely top 1% in India. I think you might have raised in a very competitive household where anything below 90 is bad, so you end up being a perfectionist. Just like shadowstriker said, just sleep, pick a hobby and start enjoying life. Don't feel guilty cuz there is nothing for you to feel guilt about
I second this, though I come from a BTech and an MBA background. Absolutely agree with you on the out of place part. It feels demotivating working in a role I have little interest in. I'm getting paid almost a lakh per month, but is it making me feel better? The answer is probably a big fat no
I'm 22 btw :)
Looking for passion in work is futile buddy. Be grateful you have a well paying job that isn't toxic.
School life is way different from real world, forget your childhood expectations and ground yourself in reality.
Keep studying and improving yourself, and don't quit stable jobs just because you're bored or to chase more money. If you end up in a bad job, you will regret it the most later on.
Everyone is decent in their own Schools, and may be that fills them with a fake sense of importance. Real test happens when one goes out.
Many MBA guys remain jobless too, and you have a good paying job, so you should be thankful. About switch, area of interest etc, it takes time for many, for most. it doesn’t happen that you get into a job and find it so interesting to work. Patience is the key.
