Please help I’m depressed
Hi all. I have really started to feel like I have been making really bad decisions in life and now everything is worthless. I joined my first job 2 years back as an analyst. Initially I was given Java backend developer role but I just could not do it due to lack of interest. I then moved to a functional role and have been working as a BA. I have applied to multiple openings but have not got a single call.
I talked to a very senior guy and he totally trashed my entire career saying that whatever I have done is shit and the role and my future plan to pursue MBA both are useless. I should move to a developer role by getting into coding. The thing is I am not inclined to it. Those 6 months as a developer was a torture for me and now I feel that whatever I am working towards is just a waste. I feel like giving up on life. Do non tech jobs don’t pay at all? Is doing an MBA a total waste?
Do whatever you enjoy man. Stop taking people words this much seriously. There are people thriving in every field. You just need to work and embrace the whole process towards reaching your goals. Start thinking outside of your job/career, do some physical activities, go on trips etc. Just enjoy
Two years is hardly much of a career to judge, your senior seems incompetent.
That being said, most non coding jobs can't match coding salaries. MBA might still help you explore other domains. Alumni network and ecosystem matters more than the masters itself.
It will take time to figure out career, it's a long term game that's constantly evolving. Give yourself time and have patience.
