I have a regret that keeps bothering me. I graduated in 2024 and wrote ICET, got around 17k rank, but I decided not to do an MBA. Instead, I learned Data Analytics, did some projects, and completed 2–3 internships in 2025.
Now in 2026, I joined Amazon in a contract role, but honestly the process and manager are both very stressful and I’m not enjoying the job. Sometimes I keep thinking: “What if I had joined MBA?” By now I would at least be close to completing it or have another degree/certificate beside my name. I also feel bad seeing the career gap.
At the same time, I know many people who did MBA are still struggling for opportunities and are unemployed too. So sometimes I feel maybe I avoided wasting time and money. But then again I think maybe opportunities would have come to me if I had done it.
This constant confusion and regret is affecting my mindset. Did anyone else go through something similar? How did you deal with this feeling?
