Everything is now looking waste , all the efforts that i have putting is looking worthless...

I came to Gurugram in November 2024 with a hope to pivot or start my career in entry level product management role , joined a BPO to avoid career gap with a hope that preparing parallely will help me land into some better position someday. With each passing day , i applied to each and every company , startup , cold mail on Linkedin and personal mail to HRs. Almost 800-850 applications and even more if we include easy apply but no luck . Every day i am just waking up , going to office , taking extensive calls probably 80-100 and sometimes even more depending upon call flow and repeating and telling the same queries to merchants and constantly thinking if i came here for this . There is no fixed off(you can get any week off whether you wanted or not ranging from Mon to Sun). Hearing the same shit from merchants , continuously talking like 7 hrs straight out of 9 hrs job and come back physically and mentally drained. Even the salary that i am getting is not enough to fulfill the basic needs in that city like gurugram ( provided i don't drink , smoke and i am not a tea lover too) . Even getting a role in operations or close domain for just a Rs 40K salary is a dream for me . Am i really that much worthless or luck is not favouring me at all. Sometimes i become angry , emotional and even question my existence . Even this job of call center and my salary made me came this far but i still didn't give the gift to my parents from my salary as there is not a saving i have left with.

People usually say you will get something better , have patience . How much patience do i need to have . I am not dreaming for Rs. 1 LPM something just a normal Rs 40-45k job to get out of this call center.

I have also been shortlisted for Google's APM program this year and my first round is scheduled for 22nd april but now i think that if i am not getting considered for normal roles , how will i gather myself to appear for company like google. Though i am preparing for so long but my current situation is making me question everything

You have a shortlist from Google for their APM program. This is life responding to “something better, have patience”.

Please focus on preparing for it. In parallel, don’t stop applying to jobs. Wish you the best!

“I am not dreaming for Rs. 1 LPM”
why bro? I think you should consider jobs with minimum this much income since 1LPM is not that high in current time.

Also from your story, looks like you deserve much better job and i am sure you will get it sooner. Don’t underestimate yourself. Google has shortlisted you for APM role which means you have all the required eligibility which these big tech companies are looking in APM role. Just believe in yourself and have confidence. I believe you will clear this interview. Good luck bro👍👍.
