Career Dilemma
I turned 27 this month and have been preparing for judiciary exams. Most of the syllabus is complete and my 3 years will be complete in September. Now I got an opportunity from one of my very close uncles who is a retired commissioner, practising in Income tax and is doing really well now. He is asking me to come to Delhi and that he will teach me everything and it will be genuinely rewarding. He has no one in his family to support him in this and he genuinely trusts my dad a lot and wants someone close to support him in this. Now the problem is, my dad feels it's a golden opportunity for me and he is asking me to join after June. But a small part of my syllabus is yet to be completed and as per what I have heard from people who have been practicing that in litigation you won't get any time for self preparation. And if I don't join now I might lose this opportunity and if I somehow manage to join, it will be like abandoning my judiciary preparation for which I have given so many years. What am I supposed to do. Also I haven't studied income tax, so I have no idea about it and hence I lack confidence. I'm really confused. Judiciary has been my dream but I want independence as well because the uncertainty is emotionally exhausting. I don't want to let go of the judiciary but this, I feel like this practise might turn out to be an amazing opportunity. I don't know what to do. Tomorrow I am going, only to meet him. I am in a huge dilemma. Is there no balanced approach for this situation?
