Hello Folks !
Takes 5-10min to read. I have summarized quickly to save your time. Need guidance. Please help!
Summary!
Job Mismatch: I am tester and currently working as an Escalation Engineer, causing boredom and fear. Management is unresponsive to concerns. I feel imposter syndrome and lack of skills after all these years. Add AI to it and I am getting anxious.
Financial Pressure: EMIs and bills [50L +] are forcing me to stay in the unwanted role despite the negative impact on my mental health, peace of mind and all in-between.
Lost Confidence: I compared my current situation unfavorably to past academic success, feeling inadequate with a perceived low salary (17 LPA - I am from India and working in a service based company - Location - Pune) for my experience (12+ years).
Seeking Help: Unsure how to address the situation and I am looking for guidance.
Side Hustle: Looking to start a side income to gain some confidence and I am willing to put in the effort.
Thank you for your time! It means a lot to me.
Thanks,
M
