Navigating Career Transitions and Enhancing Job Satisfaction in the IT Industry

Hi All,

I was born in Kolkata. I have 3 years of experience in Java development (2007-2010). However, my career has changed frequently. I have a gap of 2 years due to some personal reasons. In 2012, I moved to Bangalore for an IT-related job. Unfortunately, I didn't secure any IT-related job here. Consequently, I joined a call center for a non-voice process. After completing 1 year, I transitioned to a courier company as a channel executive. However, I am not satisfied with my current salary and job role.

I am truly confused about which field is appropriate for me or which course would be preferable. I possess good computer knowledge, and my communication skills are excellent. Please help.

Your query is not complete. Can we know the reason why you changed your job profile again and again? You started as a Java developer, which is a very good stream, and in 2007-08, it was booming. If you had stuck with the same, right now, you must have adapted lots of new technical expertise. Thus, shifting your line has put your experience on the backstep. Currently, Java is full of new technical terms.

Coming next to job satisfaction, because you worked in a highly professional and technical environment, thus, you are feeling this job inferior as per your experience and qualification.

My suggestion for you is to focus on new technical skills introduced in Java. Join some courses related to Java as a refresher course and try with small companies. Initially, just focus on getting the job in an IT company; don't focus on salary. Gradually make a stable career and get a good package.

All the Best!

Hi,

Thank you for your kind reply. I left my previous job due to family responsibilities as my father was battling cancer. However, I would like to inform you that I am now 32 years old. With that in mind, do you think I can return to the software field? Alternatively, should I consider pursuing other IT-related training such as testing or networking?

Please let me know your thoughts on this matter. Thank you.
