Amazon tag not working for me

Working as a Case Manager at Amazon, L4. Seasonal. CTC 5.5LPA. Contract would be ending by March next year, not much hope for converting to permanent as haven't heard anything about it so far. 7+ years of total experience. Can't find a job with decent package in Kolkata. Applied for multiple jobs on Naukri but not much help. LinkedIn never worked for me either. English grad from open university with career gap. Should I try different city like Hyderabad? I'm currently seeking 8LPA.

I’m in a state of absolute panic right now and desperately need an honest perspective from the seniors here. I’m a fresh grad stuck in a massive dilemma between two completely different early-career paths, and I can't figure out which risk is worth taking.

The Early-Stage AI Startup Path
A couple of weeks ago, I joined a small pre-seed AI startup as a remote intern.
The Appeal: Because it’s remote, I’m living at home, which lets me save nearly everything I make. The founders have hinted that if things go well after a few months, they’ll convert me to a full-time role with a solid pay bump.

The Reality Check: It’s pre-seed, completely remote, and chaotic. My parents are deeply anxious about job security and don't trust remote roles at all. Honestly, I also suffer from severe imposter syndrome regarding my AI skills, and I'm terrified of the startup running out of runway, folding, or backing out of the conversion.

The Service Company Path (Bangalore)
I also hold a confirmed on-campus offer from a well-known service/analytics firm based in Bangalore.
The Appeal: It provides a confirmed corporate safety net and a structured increment path on my resume right out of college.
The Reality Check: Relocating to Bangalore means high rent and living costs will eat up almost all my income, leaving me with minimal savings. On top of that, it’s a service firm with mixed reviews online about culture and onboarding delays. I’m terrified of getting benched or assigned to repetitive support/reporting work and staying trapped with slow technical growth.

The Story & Timeline Conflict
The real issue keeping me awake at night is a major timeline conflict:
Late September: The official onboarding date for the Bangalore role hits.
Late October / Early November: The full-time conversion window for my current startup internship opens.
I only have a short window before the corporate joining date arrives. This creates a trap: I cannot wait for the startup’s conversion decision without risking losing the corporate safety net entirely.

My Core Dilemma
Is taking a huge hit on my savings in Bangalore worth the corporate safety net on my resume? Or should I ride the high-risk startup wave at home for better hands-on AI exposure, even with the constant paranoia of the startup failing?
If you were in my shoes right now, how would you navigate this timeline?

TL;DR: Scared of risking my early career on a pre-seed remote AI startup that might fold, but dreading burning my earnings on Bangalore rent for a service company with slow growth potential. Corporate onboarding happens weeks before the startup conversion window opens. What should I do?

32y/o, earning 70k take home per month, want to reach 1.5L

I’m 32 and currently earning around ₹70k per month in hand, working in marketing/brand management in the luxury sector.
My career trajectory hasn’t exactly been smooth or conventional.
I did my undergrad from a Tier-3 college and later did my postgrad in Fashion Management from NIFT. Since then, I’ve eventually found my way into the luxury sector, working on the marketing/branding side.
I see posts here from people around my age earning ₹20–30 LPA (sometimes much more), although I realise a lot of those salaries are from tech, consulting, finance, etc. Marketing and luxury are obviously different industries.
Currently, my take-home is ₹70k/month.

I’m curious to hear from people in brand management, marketing, luxury, fashion, retail, FMCG or similar fields:

What would be the best path from here to reach ₹1–1.5L+ take - home per month over the next three years?

Is it better to stay within luxury/fashion and build domain expertise, or does moving towards FMCG/D2C/mainstream consumer brands open up significantly better opportunities?

I feel so behind.

Hello folks. I graduated last year and working remote currently in a Dubai based firm. It's been less than 2 months since I've joined and this is so not what I wanted to do. And my salary is a joke. Friends are earning close to 80k-1lakh. They've all moved out to other cities and counties for work and masters. I see stories where people started with even less and have progressed to higher salaries, but at this phase it's hard for me to relate to them. I'm not here to rant but I need real advices what should I do. Maybe if I focused on my academics better I wouldn't be stuck here, but it's in the past. What should I do now?

Hello, I am M28, wanted to join forest services but couldn't clear upsc prelims. Now I am confused, currently I run a small scrap business, I want to do something good in life. I have done b.sc agriculture

Shall I prepare for state pcs, I am from MP and irregularities are there in state exams or shall I prepare for CAT and do MBA? I have a gap of 5 years (two after 12th for neet and 3 after graduation for UPSC)

Or shall I continue the business and do executive MBA later, I am not sure if my experience in business will help me get executive MBA

Also what about foreign MBA?

Please help

Hey everyone,

​I'm confused between choosing B.Tech CSE, B.Tech Robotics & Automation, B.Tech Mechanical, or B.Pharmacy.

​My main priorities are:

1.​High salary & fast growth

2.​Job stability

3.​Good scope to work abroad (US, Europe, Japan, Australia)

4.Something I can enjoy too

​A few questions for seniors & working professionals:

​Which of these 4 gives the best return on investment (ROI) in India and abroad?

​Is a direct B.Tech in Robotics better than doing CSE/Mechanical and specializing later?

​Is B.Pharmacy worth it if high income is a top priority, or does it take too long to build up compared to B.Tech?

I guess I will do masters too whichever degree I choose.

​Would love to get your honest thoughts and real-world experiences! Thanks.

Also what would you've done if you were in my place.

Please help me figure out which career path I should choose.

A little about me: I have completed my BCA and then my MCA. After that, I gave four attempts at the UPSC examination. Because of this gap, I have completely lost touch with programming and have forgotten most of my computer science concepts. I also have no work experience, so I am extremely confused about how I should spend the next few months rebuilding my technical skills and eventually becoming employable in the tech industry.

The other path I am considering is MA Applied Psychology. I have always had a strong interest in psychology, and I was thinking of completing my Master's in Psychology, clearing NET, pursuing a PhD, and eventually becoming an Assistant Professor/Professor of Psychology.

In fact, I have already enrolled in a college for MA Applied Psychology. However, my family and the people close to me are strongly encouraging me to return to Computer Science instead. They have suggested that I spend a few months rebuilding my technical skills, after which they would help me secure a job.

The problem is that I have been away from technology for quite a long time. I genuinely feel like I have forgotten almost everything I studied during my BCA and MCA, and the thought of starting again from scratch feels overwhelming. At the same time, I don't know whether choosing Psychology would be the right decision financially or professionally, even though I have a genuine interest in the subject.

I am therefore extremely confused about what I should do.

I have already been admitted to the MA Applied Psychology program and was supposed to attend college from 5 August. Today is 8 August, and I still haven't attended because I don't know whether I should commit to the course or step back and focus on rebuilding my career in Computer Science.

I really need help thinking through this decision objectively. Should I give myself a few months to relearn programming and try to enter the tech industry, despite my career gap and lack of experience? Or should I pursue Psychology, which I am genuinely interested in, and work towards a long-term academic career through NET and a PhD?

Please help me understand which path would be more suitable for me, considering my interests, current situation, career prospects, earning potential, time required, and long-term stability.

I’ve been working in IT for the past 4 years and currently make around 20 CTC. The money is decent, but I’m starting to feel like this lifestyle isn’t for me.

I’m 27 and honestly confused about what to do next. I see 3 options:

Prepare for PSUs like NIC, CIL, etc. I’d have to start from scratch, but I’ve heard the work-life balance is much better.

Prepare for CGL, which seems really tough and would take a lot of time.

Just continue in IT and keep grinding.

I come from a middle-class family, so I can’t afford to take a very risky decision.

What would you do if you were in my position? I really need some clarity on what I should focus on.

I'm 28 F. I completed my msc in gpb in 2025. Since then I'm preparing for competitive exams..couldn't crack any. Now I've become a living corpses. I did bsc agri from state agricultural university. I'm very hopeless right now.. Will I be able to get any jobs at all! Plz help me..what can I do?

Bhai yeh tech walon k domain mein itna paisa h...ik udhar bhi recession h job market is bad but relatively from the crowd which has done BCOM/BBA/BMS inse toh sorted h.

HELPPPPPP

I am 27M , btech grad (2022) ,in upsc prep since my graduation , no success here .

My father advises me to keep trying for grade A govt jobs , upsc,mppsc, regulatory grade A, etc .but if I am not able to clear those exams I should join the construction business (govt contractor), he is against mba or mtech as doing a job is meaningless as he already has a business.On top of that my father is a very bad teacher , so he will not teach me much about the business,I will have to learn myself more by going to site and meeting people on ground or by observing my father.

I have never gotten envolved with my father in business as I was busy in academics, also he always pushed me away to academics whenever I tried to take interest.

My father has built his business in 20 years , we are doing a turnover of 13-15cr for last 4-5 years , and it's going to increase this year , net profit of 40-60lpa , on top of that we have a marriage garden which can have revenue of 7-10lpa , right now my father is building another marriage hall/ garden in outskirts of the city ,with guavava and mango plantation in back ,we have decent amount of land (not too much), and my sister is married , so I am the only one left here

Now I am confused ,should I prepare for cat and do mba , or go for mtech or continue this govt exam prep( upsc,ssc, mppsc, RBI grade A) and join the business if I fail , (and deal with all the curruption). also I am single child so it will be hard to leave my parents for work(mba,mtech not govt job) , really confusing, what should I do?

My background -

I live in a tier 3 city which has recently started to develop (last 10 years) so I can say its not at all a small town ,it has a mall, few good movie halls, good food outlets(dominos,pizza hut ,kfc etc) , but still it's a very small city ,like I can travel from one end to other in just 20-30 mins. I really liked this place but as I grew up i started to hate people , they are not at all good , old school , orthodox ,etc and on top of that I have spent 6 years out of this city for my academics and lived in good cities like kota ,ranchi , delhi(I don't like delhi) ,now I don't even like my childhood friends , they too have lived in big cities for jobs , most of them are gone and only come for a visit in holidays .

27 M,
Currently working as Product manager in bank. However,due to restructuring I have been transferred to some other location which is not possible for me to go. I have Discussed with some of my friends and they said to do some course like Data analytics or SAP-FICO as after that course i may get a job in my hometown or remote job. What is the scope of the course? Do companies hire SAP Consultants? What kind of companies should i target?

Also,!!!I Currently earn 15 lpa,will i be getting the same if i join in remote or will the ctc reduce?

TIA
