Mech has good stablity, secure job,work life balance...this is what i have heard but i want to know for a person who wants to grow faster (i m not saying ki grow faster wale scam type...i m asking with own potential, people want to grow faster)is this okay for them?

For example in tech...people can learn new skills train them.and switch jobs and get better salary than their previous....but in mech how can even people learn new things without the resources.

I want to know from mech engineers doing jobs..how does salary grow? Is it mostly fixed or can good performers grow much faster? What kind of roles or companies do experienced mechanical engineers usually move into? Is there a point where salary growth becomes very slow?

Also, if your goal is to maximize your career, what skills would you focus on after joining?

Looking back, would you still choose this path?

And for someone who finds this too technical studying in btech and not find much interest. Should they choose it...or will they be stuck as they wont have interest in growing.

Can anyone please tell what all they know about actuary profession? what is the pay and all?

Its 3.12 am right now. I am going to enter my final year of Btech (IITJ).I started preparing for JEE because I always thought my brother was my competition and whatever my elder brother did, I followed him.

​

Prepared for JEE. First year (could even score minimum cutoff for Advance) . Took a drop and got in IITJ mech branch. A branch i didnt know anything about, just took it for a better IIT and branch.

​

Couldnt find any good friends for 2 year. Tired of homesickness loneliness. Thats when reality hit. Life is not governed by emotions like these. Only measurable things matter. No one will ask me in the future how much i suffered mentally as these things dont matter. I left behind in college.

​

I discovered 48 laws of power book( suggested by my brother) it told the reality how the world works and what things dont matter.

​

Anyways. I have completed my 3rd year now. I used to think IIT chale gye toh life set ab. But i didnt take benefit of it. Na koi network banaya na logo se baat ki. Jese school m sbse nerdy bachhe ke ache marks aate..esa school se nikal ke nhi hota. You have to be, you must be extrovert as hell. And thats how you grow in this world

​

WORLD IS CRUEL AND THATS THE BEAUTIFUL PART. BECAUSE YOU GET TO CHEAT YOUR WAY UP.

​

I have realised this now but its too late. No networking nothing. I am seniormost in the college. Dont like my branch. Scared to be in tech field. Now what to do.

​

I dont want to be in stuck field where i dont have much opportunity to grow. I have 8+ cgpa. I can get into a mech job..but i will feel stuck.

​

I need a competetive field.

I thought the best would be getting into investment roles (its competitive).

​

Now I got two options -

1. Do a MBA. Get to experience college life again. Get to know people. Be extrovert And get a job finally.

​

2. Get into a lower role in investment fields through connections work in low paying salary for 1-2 years and learn things and work your way up.

​

I have always preferred structured learning but i feel i dont remember things which i dont use. The best option for me would be 2nd but its so hard to see your friends at a high paying job and you are working in a very different field learning things get a low salary.

​

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING- i stilk dont know if startups and investment interest me. I m just choosing them because i know mech dont. And they are good fields.and i got connections in them.

​

Yaar they are so many things i want to write that are in my mind to fully explain my situation. But leave it.Whats the point of writing all this if in future no one is going to see it after i post. If its gets attention then maybe i will ( please dont think i m begging for views) why would i do so that too in the end. I m jsut tired of everything.

​

What should i do ? I dont know. I dont want to end up doing a job just for survival. I want to grow.
