Career guidance needed. Is it ok for a fresher to go with playwright in 2026?

  1. 25F, graduated in 2024 (Mtech in chemical engineering) from tier 1 college

  2. Then 2 yrs gap from 2024-26 due to govt exams preparation. I constantly failed

  3. Want to restart my career. Not getting job. Have been applying since 2 months.

  4. Want to build my career successfully in a long term as well.

Now what to do?

I want to ask if I can join IT as a fresher? Is it a right choice? I think I need to contact some software training institute and I think of learning playwright. Is it a good path? I'm in a lot of pressure to get a job ASAP. But don't want to regret later. I want to grow in long term as well.

Is it easy for a fresher to land in automation testing? Pls share your opinions and thoughts. If yes pls suggest a roadmap. I'm also open to any other career advices from you guys. Pls do help.

Also - some software training institutes claimed that they'll make a fake certificates and fill my 2 yrs gap. But I don't want to do that. I just want to join as a fresher with my original certificates.

Career guidance needed

I'm 25 F residing in Chennai. I studied in a good university at Mumbai after clearing my IIT JEE. I'm an Integrated Mtech in chemical engineering Graduate passed out in 2024.

As far as I can stay happy outside my house, I barely get the freedom at my home. I thought it's normal with these regressive parents. Not even to the temple next to my street I'm allowed. I'm constantly judged in my own house. There is an extra unfairness to a girl always. And pls do help me or guide me with what I'm going through now. I just installed this app few days back to ask for help. Pls hear my situation out.

I have no one to talk to and idk how to describe what I'm going through now. I'm 25 yrs old now. No job, no career. I feel like I'm stuck somewhere both physically and mentally. When I was a kid i only believed my parents and even when I started growing up I thought I should make them proud and was enjoying the concept of family. One day my teacher in school asked to fill a form which had a question asking about my aim. Idk what to fill. I was in primary school. So went to home and asked my dad he said to write IAS and i simply wrote that till my 12th standard but he also asked me to concentrate on the IIT JEE exam since my 6th class....I was preparing for it and after 12th i gave my 1st attempt. I failed. Father asked me to drop one year. All my friends joined clg. But I sat at home. Studied and cleared in my second attempt and joined a clg from that cutoff.

During clg I was in a relationship with a person and after 2 yrs I found that he cheated his own elder brother by having affair with his elder brothers wife(this happened before he met me). I ran off from that relationship and that was my only relationship till date and always feel bad for living in this world for hearing stories of cheating while in a marriage or relationship. It's a betrayal and Idk why we have such humans on earth. I studied clg for 5 yrs it was an integrated course. I enjoyed it and i thought I'll go for a job after clg and progress further...but While I was in my clg my dad asked me to prepare for UPSC. He joined me to a coaching centre in final year. I was not able to be regular because of my master's thesis and most of the time I don't understand class because I didn't understand Hindi which teachers usually bring btw lectures. Gave my 1st upsc attempt in 2024 while I was still in my clg. I failed.

Then after my clg got over when I returned back to Chennai I wanted to go for a job 1st because I know my family is not doing fine. Then dad convinced me to sit and study for 1 year. I dropped and joined a coaching in Chennai and worked so hard for 1 year. I thoroughly enjoyed studying for upsc because of the knowledge i gained through that. I gave my 2nd attempt (1st sincere attempt) and again I failed. Then I said my dad I want to go to job. He said no u study again for 1 year. I was not really ready. But still I gave myself one more chance and prepared for 2026 attempt. My 3rd attempt was also failed.

Recently I got diagnosed with polystic ovaries because of my lifestyle (dint move much. Was only on the table and desk most of the time). I'm not able to have peace with this news. Somehow I'm making efforts to concentrate on nutrition and exercise.

I don't have even a single friend in life. Idk if I'm incapable of making or it dint just happen...but after school and clg they just disappeared..I have no one to talk to except my fellow classmates just to clear doubts on subjects..

I only believed in my dad. No one else. My mom was diagnosed with Schizophrenia (mental illness) roughly 10 years back when I was in class 9. Since then she is not able to provide me her mother duties and I really missed it. Its like we have to take care of her like a child. She laughs on her own, talks on her own and hear loud noises. I was totally dependent on my dad since my 9th standard. Cannot talk to my mom much because she on the other side is going through something else and I spend time with her for some social time that she wants. But I couldn't take her to the hospital because I have no money. I also have a younger brother. We are all dependent on our father. The trust I had on my father was huge.

But suddenly My father did not take my mom to hospitals. She used to hear severe noises from surrounding and all her symptoms are severe. The other side of my father is really scary. There is no single day in my life that I sleep without my mom hearing abusive words from my dad. He used to blame my mom for all that my grandparents (moms parents) did. He use very harsh words to my mom, my brother, and in the past to me as well ( not now because I don't have much conversation with him)

With only hope i studied. I thought I can take care of my mom and everything will be alright one day. I listened to my dad because I emotionally bonded with him for providing me food, cloth, shelter since childhood (I think that emotions happen naturally idk)

But recently 2 months back something was abnormal and for no reason my dad went to Hyderabad. A place that has no relation with our family. He said to talk about some deal /business he's going.

But I found that he has been cheating on my mom for so long. He went to see some other women aged 35. My dad is 51 and my mom is 50. Then I discovered this is not the 1st time and he's been having an affair with the women since yrs. He even booked tickets for her for travel from Chennai to telangana and vice versa. And also booked hotel rooms. Sending good morning love, good night love images everyday. Sending romantic messages everyday, Send money every month to her. We still live in rented house. Since I was born I am in rented house. Own home is a dream for me like every middle class, but guess what my dad is sending money for that lady to build her house in her state and by the time I write this it is in construction.She has 3 kids and her husband passed away. She has parents and brother. But my mom don't have siblings. My mom's parents passed away. My mom is only dependent on dad since her marriage. She even can't hear. She use machine for her ears. Even for batteries she has to beg.I wanted a progress in my family. But when I got to know about my father's extra marital affairs it broke my only trust in the family. It was completely against my idea of family. Idk what to do. I am not able to feel safe in this place anymore. Don't wish to talk to him anymore.

All these years I've been listening to a cheater and making decisions in my life. Today I sit in this house with no job, no career, health issues, my mentally unable mother and my brother. I'm so much ashamed of myself for obeying his words and ashamed for all the tolerance that I gone through my life. He even beats us. But my bloody immature mind dint have the capacity to differentiate between emotional bonding and controlling.

I'm 25 and I don't have full control of my life. Even if I think of earning through Swiggy, zomato by delivering foods, I'm not allowed. My dad will stop me. I want to run away somewhere but I'm stuck here because I don't have money. Only if I can go out of this house I can make choices in my life. I don't want to work in Chennai. Because I know I need to stay in this house if I work here. And the money I earn will definitely go to that lady who's building her house using my dad money. You know what, my dad even said from this year he'll pay fees for those 3 kids. I saw these messages on his WhatsApp. Lol, we live in rent house since birth, since generations but he is building a house for someone else in a different state wow. I did not confront anything to my dad yet because I'm scared. I'm scared that he may cause harm to us if I confront. So I need stability 1st. I need a job. I need to get out of this house. I need to go to someother city, start earning, and somehow take my mom and brother away from my dad. I even don't know if my mom will believe or not because she is mentally not normal so I'm scared how will I save my mom from him. I waited for my exams to over. And it ended now and I definitely know when I leave this house completely with my mom and brother a big drama is going to happen...police, relatives and what not. But I'm too much worried about my mother :( .... I really want to live alone with my mom and brother and I don't know why I live in a country where extra marital affairs are not considered an offence.

I also came to know he spent 50k for her bday. He gave her a silk saree and a gold ring. Lol me mom don't even own a single fake ring. Not even a fake ring. But that lady was gifted gold ring while we are on our empty stomach every single morning. Yes our home don't ever had breakfast. And the menu is also decided by my dad. Because my mom is unable and in control. He says, my mom cooks, and we eat. That's all. Only lunch is assured. Breakfast is definitely not provided. Dinner is given sometimes. So it's one meal or mostly 2 meal a day with completely off timings. I understand my mom health but atleast the basic ingredients has to be there in house. We don't have groceries to even cook ourselves. Whatever he buys in morning we eat with that for that day.

My life is filled with stress with unemployment, PCOS, my mom's mental condition, the extra marital affair that my dad is in, the controlled environment in which I couldn't develop myself Fully :(

One day morning the house was filled with chaos. Since the day before night dad was verbally abusing My brother on call to the extreme and the next morning he was beating my brother and when I questioned him he couldn't tolerate that and started arguing with me to not support while beating. He says naa vada chennai vaasi naa apdithaan pesuvan asingamaa...yaarum na adikrapa thaduka kudaadhu. Inum aruvaal eduthu vetra alavuku kovam varla vandhaa avlodhaan vettirvan. These are all very much disturbing to the mind. Can't even type those abusive words used by him.

And idk i recently think of getting a job and run away from this house and then take up upsc preparation while on job. My mind needs only mental peace:(

Idk why the family is so much controlling when they themselves cheat and behave like the king of the house. He is the only breadwinner. What makes them empowered to beat us and harm us?

I even sometimes call tele manas and talk to them. I just wanted to share this with someone. I feel like everything is dumped on my head.

Now coming to my job part. I have no one in my family to help because I'm the 1st graduate. I have 2 yrs career gap due to upsc preparation. I'm have almost 2 yrs internship experience during my clg days which I did in IOCL vadodara, piramal, CSIR IMMT, etc.

Right now searching jobs in linkedin but nothing seems to click. And I don't have much contacts also. So I resorted myself to join some software training institutes at Chennai. Idk they assure placements but some people say it is scam. Idk even for that I need 25k rupees which I don't have. I asked my dad out of no way but he dint give me yet. But sends her money every month and pays her kids fees.

Pls someone help or guide me and give me a career advice:

I would be so happy if anyone of you help me to get a job outside chennai with 5 to 6 lpa as a chemical engineer. May be R&D, QA or QC or process engineering.

Or atleast suggest me if I can join software training institutes and join IT? But it scares me when they say u can fake your experience and join IT with a higher package. It really scares me and don't know if I had to trust all these. It lacks genuine job so idk if I had to go by it.

I was searching for reviews about them and was trying and was open to IT sectors also just to keep my options open because I want to get out of chennai ASAP.

And for my IT course i would need 25k which I don't have. So pls do guide me if there is some way I can get a job with my degree?

Also let me know if I can join this or not.

What can I do now. I had to confront my dad after I get a job.

Or somebody have any other solution?

My career looked like :

2017- 2018 - completed school

2018 - 2019 - dropped for studing JEE

2019 - 2024 - 5 yrs college - Integrated Mtech in chemical engineering.

2024 - 2026 - Joined UPSC coaching and failed both attempts

Now - I have this 2 year career gap and don't get any job that suits me

I'm being called by HR for sales roles in irrelevant fields which I don't want to do. And also dont want to get scammed by any software training institutes. I hear that they fake documents and may be land up in future trouble if we want to switch companies.

Pls pls help me with my situation.

Can I get a help for 25,000 rupees?

I'm in need of 25,000 rupees for a course which will help me secure a job. I am having a career gap and I wanted to restart my career. This would be my 1st job and I would be grateful for the help. The fees can be directly paid to the academy.

Recently I found that my dad has been cheating my mom for years. My mom is a schizophrenia patient and so he is taking advantage and controlling me and my mom and neglecting our needs. I'm the 1st graduate of my family and dropped 2 yrs for upsc preparation. Now idk where to start. I'm the eldest daughter and I have a brother who's doing college.

We are in rental home since I was born and On the other side my dad is helping his illegal affair women to build her own house. Also sending her monthly money from his salary but not a penny to my mother. He also pays fee for her 3 kids. Apart from that he has spend 50k on her bday by buying a gold ring to her. But me and my mother own just a pair of gold earrings which was bought 7 yrs back. I don't expect anything from a cheater hereafter. I just need a job to take care of my mother and brother. Because of career gap I'm finding it difficult to get a job. And I decided to join a course which could help me land in job and would probably help me to get out of this house.

My Current situation is not good and I'm living in a patriarchal household. I would want to leave this house ASAP and when I secure my jobs I want to confront my dad and move my mom and brother to a safer place where they get what they deserve. And I'm not given financial help and being neglected for a long time. If someone could send me 25k I would really be grateful. It can be directly paid to the academy as well.

And if not able to donate atleast help me by providing as a loan so that I will return it once I get my job. I'm not able to get a education loan because i need a co-applicant for which blood relation has to sign. I don't have anyone to sign. And my father is the only breadwinner and he will not sign.

The duration of course is 45 days and I hope I'll develop my skills to get a job somehow in 2 to 3 months.

I hope for good ;)

How is tcf technologies in Chennai? Do they provide placements and is it safe?

I'm planning to join tcf technologies for the playwright automation course. Initially 25k and after placement 1.25 Lacks on EMI can be paid after I get salary. I'm a bit scared and don't know what to do. I even feel like they may have tie up with company and may probably fire me after a certain period. Is there anyone who has placed via tcf technologies in Chennai.
