Dear Colleagues,
I am working in a manufacturing concern. My marriage has been fixed, and my husband is working in Delhi, whereas I am in Gujarat. The worry here is that it is becoming difficult for me to find a job from Delhi. I do not want to compromise on my career. Continuing my career is important to me as much as my husband is.
What should I do? My husband cannot move due to certain personal reasons.
Please help!
Thanks

Hi Pragya,
I faced a problem similar to yours. I was in Bangalore, and my husband was working in Hyderabad. When I got married, the recession had just started, and there were no job openings at all.
I waited for 6 months after marriage but couldn't find a job in Hyderabad. In the meantime, I completed a SAP HR course. Now, I have landed a job as an HR manager in a company.
You can get married because the situation is improving now. There are many job openings coming up. You should try searching for a job in Delhi; you will surely receive good offers.

Hi!
I got engaged last year in July 08. I was working in an MNC as a Senior Executive, but I left because of the late hours. I used to leave the office every evening after 8.00 pm. Since I lived far from the office in Mumbai, I decided to resign. Currently, I am searching for a job. I have nearly 5 years of experience in HR generalist roles.
If you have any opportunities in Mumbai, please let me know. My decision to leave was primarily due to my upcoming marriage.

Dear Pragya,
Greetings for the day ahead!
Quite an interesting situation. You first have to think about why you do a job - for the sake of having a job or for the sake of having a happy life. If your answer is the second option, you should not have much difficulty in leaving your job and coming to Delhi.
As Sangitha said, the market is improving, and if your skill set is market-friendly, you should not have much trouble finding a job in Delhi.
It is important to have marital bliss after marriage. Talk to your would-be husband; if somehow he can manage to come to Gujarat, great. Otherwise, in my opinion, you should come to Delhi, start searching for a new job, and live happily.
All the best!

Hi Sanjay,
When considering decisions between job or married life, one must evaluate whether the selection aligns with personal preferences. For me, marriage holds a greater allure than a job since the happiest moments I cherish are connected with married life. However, selecting a suitable life partner can be as challenging as choosing a job. While job opportunities can be pursued by developing relevant skills, it is essential to identify the skill set required for a specific field. For example, although I work in a bank, I feel more suited for a career in teaching, necessitating the development of teaching skills.
Initially, compromises on salary might be necessary, with the possibility of negotiating for better terms once established in the role. Eventually, the significance of money diminishes, and other factors play a more crucial role in decision-making processes.
It is important to assess whether a potential life partner is compatible and suitable for a fulfilling relationship.
Best regards,
Pragya

Dear Pragya,
I wish life were always the way we chose to live it. Hey, but that has its flaws too... You never know that you can have a better opportunity out there in Delhi.
Please excuse me for a while. I need to be both your friend as well as someone who can help you choose (not advise..probably shed light on a few points that can help you decide).
As a woman, marriage is one of the best things that can happen to her. I know that you have no second thoughts of changing your would-be :-)
So what's stopping you from just putting your papers down and looking for a change? Fear? Fear of having a career break? How can you stop that? Answer: Stop fearing.
Have confidence in "LIFE." Until this stage, you have come up confidently, found a job for yourself... now you have found the "better-half." And you very well know that living separately for the sake of a career cannot help you in your personal life. (And that is not the reason you are getting married either!) As long as you have no personal satisfaction, I doubt the satisfaction from a job can help you at all.
Until now, things have sailed smoothly... so be sure that a little effort from your end can make things work fine.
What is your would-be's take on this? I am sure he can help you.
So see if you can network/seek help through friends and family members to find a job in Delhi. Talk to your would-be's parents about this (YOU HAVE TO) and ask them what help can come from their end in helping you find a job.
There are numerous opportunities/ways to find a job. Seek help through consultants.
Your worry is only "finding a job in Delhi." Don't mix it with other thoughts.
Just in case you don't leave Gujarat... and tomorrow if a problem arises at home/family, they will all point their fingers at you stating that "She preferred a job over family." These things are bound to happen in our Indian family... however much love is attached, so many such problems are also around it.
Be calm, prepare a good resume (take tips from citehr ;-) ). Hunt for jobs through consultants, family friends, and relatives... I am sure you will find a better one than the one in Gujarat. And good luck for your "Married life."
At the end, make sure your in-laws and would-be are aware of the fact that you are quitting just because of the marriage, and just because of your would-be's job.
If this is not the case, and if your would-be is fine with you working elsewhere, then talk to both your and his parents. But take this decision only if you are sure if the marriage can survive being in different places... Can you afford to? (Moreover, you can also take up freelance assignments and cover it up for your "gap.")

1. You can search for jobs in Delhi while sitting in Gujarat - on the internet and job portals.
2. If you receive an interview call, you will have to travel. You must be prepared for this.
3. After marriage, if you move to Delhi without a job, do not worry. Keep looking for a job and simultaneously consider taking a course for further learning.
4. A small gap in your employment history, for which you can provide a clear explanation, is not considered a significant issue as long as your performance is good. If your current company provides positive feedback, you will have a good chance of securing a new job.
5. Delhi is a large job market, and you are likely to find employment. At most, you may have to accept a job offer at a lower salary.

She has already stated that:
1. Career is as important for her as marriage.
2. Her would-be hubby can't leave Delhi.
The simple solution is:
1. Since she is in Gujarat.
2. Generally in India, it is the women who go to the husband's place after marriage.
3. Delhi is much better than any Gujarat city (actually, no comparison) in terms of employment opportunity!
Where is the conflict? Where is the need for decision-making or evaluating variables?
Right, Taz! Keep it up, friend. You are like the child who shouts, "the king is not wearing any clothes!"

Dear Pragya,
Nowadays, due to the rise in the cost of living, I would say a career is as important as marriage. If both husband and wife in the family are working, they can enjoy today's life as much as possible.
Presently, you are working in a market-leading company that has good global fame. You will definitely find a good job in Delhi. Just have to try. You would have a series of consultants in Delhi if your hubby helps. Then take one week leave and achieve your goal in Delhi with your hubby.
Also, the time up to marriage is the golden period, and if you are as close with your hubby as possible, it will make your life wonderful.
From my experience, when I was engaged, my wife was working in the same city. After our marriage, I went to another city. She left the job and joined a new job in the current city. Additionally, the market is on the rise, so you will easily get a job.
My suggestion is to seize the opportunity in this Golden Period.
All the best.

Hi Pragya,
You don't want to leave your career, as well as neither can you would be shift to Gujarat. According to me, marriage and career are both equally important; you should not leave either one nor compromise.
Finding a life partner is something that happens once in anyone's life, and that decision should be made very carefully, as you have decided it earlier. See the situation from another perspective. For your future spouse, getting a job in Gujarat may be a bit challenging because opportunities in Gujarat are fewer compared to Delhi. However, finding a good job in Delhi might be easier.
As an HR professional, I can suggest a few things:
1. Firstly, you can postpone your marriage for a few more days and start job searching with Delhi as the preferred location.
2. You have a genuine reason as you are getting married (and believe me, it's the most genuine and common reason we hear from candidates nowadays).
3. Every time you send out your resume, make sure to mention in the email that you are seeking a job in Delhi because you are getting married soon and your future spouse works in Delhi. This will make HRs take you more seriously.
4. If you intensely search for a new job in the same location, you will likely find one in a month, plus the notice period, whereas for a different location, it may take 2-3 months.
Believe me, the problem you are facing is common and not as significant. Just take it step by step, find a good job, and then get married. Alternatively, even after marriage, if you move to Delhi, you will surely find a job within 2 months.
Maintain consistency, seriousness, and rigorous follow-up.
All the best for your job search and congratulations!

First of all Congrats to you!!!
With regards to your personal life would suggest that, “Nobody else other than you can take a call”. Don’t let others decide about your life, but at the same time you need help on the job front………………we are all there for you. The market is picking up and I see lots of job opening on the site, so you can try and I’m sure you will get a good job soon. (“Hope in GOD” :))
Please take this suggestion positively as given by a friend. Coz if your Fiancé is really a good person then letting your job go will not be difficult. As you know getting the right kind of person is very difficult in the present generation.
I know money is important in the presentation situation, but know that “We control the money and not money controlling us” hahahahahahahahah………………. Start your job hunt right-away.
I’m also getting married this coming Sunday and my Fiancé also was from different place, but I went with her and she did get a good job. SO nothing in IMPOSSIBLE.
I pray that all goes well in your life. All the best!!!

I think you should have thought about this before you got engaged to that guy. After the engagement, you shouldn't have any confusion about continuing the relationship. Career is very important for girls nowadays, but social values are more important than that. First, we should be clear about what we do. Don't get confused now. My suggestion is to go ahead and get married to that guy. Getting a job is not so tough if you have confidence in yourself.

WHY DO EMPLOYEES LEAVE ORGANIZATIONS? Views by WIPRO CEO Azim Premji, PUBLIC Classified
Every company faces the problem of employees leaving for better pay or profile.
Early this year, Mark, a senior software designer, received an offer from a prestigious international firm to work in its India operations developing specialized software. He was thrilled by the offer. He had heard a lot about the CEO. The salary was great. The company had all the right systems in place - employee-friendly human resources (HR) policies, a spanking new office, and the very best technology, even a canteen that served superb food. Twice Mark was sent abroad for training. "My learning curve is the sharpest it's ever been," he said soon after he joined.
Last week, less than eight months after he joined, Mark walked out of the job.
Why did this talented employee leave?
Arun quit for the same reason that drives many good people away.
The answer lies in one of the largest studies undertaken by the Gallup Organization. The study surveyed over a million employees and 80,000 managers and was published in a book called "First Break All The Rules". It came up with this surprising finding:
If you're losing good people, look to their manager.... the manager is the reason people stay and thrive in an organization. And he's the reason why people leave. When people leave, they take knowledge, experience, and contacts with them, straight to the competition.
"People leave managers, not companies," write the authors Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman.
Mostly, managers drive people away?
HR experts say that of all the abuses, employees find humiliation the most intolerable. The first time, an employee may not leave, but a thought has been planted. The second time, that thought gets strengthened. The third time, he looks for another job.
When people cannot retort openly in anger, they do so by passive aggression. By digging their heels in and slowing down. By doing only what they are told to do and no more. By omitting to give the boss crucial information. Dev says: "If you work for a jerk, you basically want to get him into trouble. You don't have your heart and soul in the job."
Different managers can stress out employees in different ways - by being too controlling, too suspicious, too pushy, too critical, but they forget that workers are not fixed assets, they are free agents. When this goes on too long, an employee will quit - often over a trivial issue.
Talented men leave. Deadwood doesn't.

If you're losing good people, look to their manager.... the manager is the reason people stay and thrive in an organization. And he's the reason why people leave. When people leave, they take knowledge, experience, and contacts with them, straight to the competition.
"People leave managers, not companies," write the authors Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman.
Mostly, managers drive people away?
HR experts say that of all the abuses, employees find humiliation the most intolerable. The first time, an employee may not leave, but a thought has been planted. The second time, that thought gets strengthened. The third time, he looks for another job.
When people cannot retort openly in anger, they do so by passive aggression. By digging their heels in and slowing down. By doing only what they are told to do and no more. By omitting to give the boss crucial information. Dev says: "If you work for a jerk, you basically want to get him into trouble. You don't have your heart and soul in the job."
Different managers can stress out employees in different ways - by being too controlling, too suspicious, too pushy, too critical, but they forget that workers are not fixed assets, they are free agents. When this goes on too long, an employee will quit - often over a trivial issue.
Talented men leave. Deadwood doesn't.

Hi Pragya,
I am neither married nor engaged, but I still try to put my thoughts into it. You can find a job at any age in your life if you are talented. You can change or leave as many jobs as you want.
A life partner has nothing to do with talent; it all depends on your emotions. Changing or leaving a life partner is heart-breaking. Believe me, once your age to find a life partner has passed, you will feel as though you have lost everything.
Now, your decision depends on whether you really need your husband as your life partner or your job as a life partner. Because breaking a marriage with this guy does not assure you that you will find your husband from your town only.
All the best, and have a great life and future ahead with your loved ones.

Hey Pragya,
If this is the guy you are going to marry, then why don't you take a leave for 10 days wherein you can attend a maximum number of interviews in Delhi. The NCR region has multiple openings coming up. Maybe you'll have to sacrifice a little on profile or compensation package. At the end of the day, if you know the guy well and think he is going to be a good life partner, go ahead! Don't compromise! Remember, if your personal life is troubled, your professional life would show its impact!
