Nothing is the point anymore.
Hey all. Let me preface this that i am not looking for any sympathy. This is just a vent thanks to the anonymity aspect of gv.
I (22) feel like one of the millions in india who are so helpless for good jobs. Graduated w bcom from St. Xavier’s Kolkata in 2023. I have passed CFA level 2 and FRM part 1. I feel like such a failure and burden on my parents. Did everything i thought was write yet all i have to show for it are a barrage of rejection emails. Since graduation i have had 3 very low paying and unsatisfactory jobs at local places and the icing on the cake is that i have been let go from 2 of those because they said that they cannot find enough work for me to do ( even though i am asking for more responsibility every week). I cannot properly study for my final CFA exam in august because i am too stressed about my job situation and every time i open linkedin i feel like a nobody. People my age, from my batch are getting promoted, getting big shot colleges for MBA or joining huge companies. People my age with lesser or no qualifications are getting in JPMC, GS and more while i cant even get an interview. I havent been able to pick up one usable skill aside from average excel from my previous jobs. And now i have been asked to leave at the end of Feb.
Idk guys if the market is bad or just i dont have skills but i have never been so insecure in my life. I feel horrible that i have no skills and i have no idea what skills should i learn. I can barely concentrate while studying. I am very blessed to have such good parents who are so supportive and positive towards their child. Never have they let me feel lesser for not having a good job. I just want a good job with a decent pay where i can say to room of people that this is what i am doing instead of lying and being embarrassed.
If anyone older than me who has been in the same field or position has some advice, I am all ears. Thanks for reading a stranger’s RR.

I completely resonate with your post. I am also struggling to get hold of a better opportunity as an in-house corporate lawyer. Having a law degree even from NLU and worked as a trainee for the initial period at a Tier 1 law firm, I am struggling in Kolkata. I am searching continuously for better jobs in other parts of the city with salary/ compensation valuing my skills, education, experience.
