Have any of you guys done masters in your 30s or know someone who did?

I made some wrong career choices and have ended up in a career that makes me really miserable. Have anyone of you changed your fields late in the game?

I did engineering which I didn't like then I dropped for upsc which didn't happen then I did an MBA from a subpar University and now I am stuck in a role that I hate with a toxic boss and passionless job that demands 12 hrs daily (even on the weekends). It gives me anxiety attacks and I have a depression so severe that I cry myself to sleep every night and on somedays it's even tough to get out of bed the whole day, I just end up staring at the ceiling.

Cant advice but isn’t Executive mba meant to be done in mid 30’s. You already have FMCG work ex and i guess it’s more of ground work which you can use to your benefit in mba interviews.

I am 27 yo, planning to switch from sales to development. It’s too late for entry level role but instead of regretting in later years i am trying for it now.

The choice is either being stuck in current situation or being the outlier but in a place where you feel better.

Age doesn’t matter. There is a long life ahead. Either you stop sulking around and find a way or keep staring the ceiling.

Who gives a shit if you are in your 30’s anyway.

I have a friend who’s doing Masters in Literature full time at 37. She’s finished her MBA and worked in corporate before 😆

Masters in 30s? It's like trying to teach an old dog new tricks. But hey, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Has anyone changed careers in their late 20s or early 30s? If yes, what made you do it? How did you figure what to do next?

Pros/Cons of Frequent Job Switching

I wish to know the pros/cons of frequently switching jobs. I am in a dilemma, there are posts here and there that say don't switch frequently and then there are posts that nobody cares about frequent job switches, as you are a dev.
