Is 3 months prep wise for DEC 2026 NET?
How many hours one needs to give to prep for both jrf and net ?

Any sources to prep like YouTube or any lecture videos or apps and tools?

It would really be helpful.
Thank you.

Hi
I’m looking for remote opportunities, and I’ve tried mercor and TELUS. I keep getting shortlisted but I never hear from them.

Can someone help ?
How to go about this or if someone could refer?

I’m from India and I can work for 40 hours in a week if opportunity comes.

Sorry for the long read but I couldn't make it any shorter!

I have an M.A. in Clinical Psychology (2020) and have spent the last 5 years working across private practice, corporate, technical consulting and EAP wellness programs, training delivery and coaching.

I have crossed 5000 hours of 1:1 clinical and consulting work across the industry. On the group side, I have done over 2500 hours of training sessions, workshops, seminars, fortnightly, resilience sessions, group wellness sessions for companies. Most of this has been as an independent contractor rather than a single employer, working with multiple organisations at once.

This is not someone starting from zero, it is someone with real hours and real delivery experience, just not a corporate HR or L&D title on paper yet.

Honestly, in psychology and therapy work, there is a real ceiling on what you can earn no matter how senior or experienced you get. At my peak, combining private practice and consulting work across companies, I was making around 1.5 lakh a month, but that was patchwork income stitched together from several sources, not one stable role.

I am looking to move into Learning and Development or Organisational Development because I believe that industry has real room to grow well past that number over time, in a way psychology on its own does not.

I am open to starting lower than what I was making before, closer to 80k-90k a month, specifically because I would rather enter an industry with a longer runway than stay capped in one that does not grow much further.

What I am looking for is hybrid or remote work, five days a week, based in Navi Mumbai or Mumbai, but genuinely open to remote roles anywhere in India or even globally if the fit is right. Open to startups or mid-size companies, not attached to a big name.

A few honest questions for anyone who has made a similar move or hires for these roles. Does a psychology and clinical consulting background actually read as an asset for L&D or OD hiring, or does it need to be translated into HR language first to be taken seriously? Is a short certification worth pursuing at this stage, or does real facilitation and delivery experience carry more weight than a certificate?

For people in L&D or OD, what does the actual growth trajectory look like in this field? What titles and pay ranges should I be aiming for at the 2 year, 5 year, and 10 year mark, and does it genuinely keep climbing the way I am hoping, or does this industry have its own ceiling too?

And for anyone who made this exact jump from psychology or therapy into corporate L&D, I would love to hear how it actually went, what helped, and what you wish someone had told you earlier.

If anyone here works in L&D/OD or knows someone hiring, I would genuinely appreciate a referral or even just a pointer on where to look. Happy to share my resume.

TLDR: M.A. Clinical Psych, 5 years in, 5000+ hours 1:1 and 2500+ hours group facilitation, mostly independent contractor work. Hit a pay ceiling in psychology and want to move into L&D/OD where growth potential is higher. Open to 80-90k to start, hybrid/remote, Navi Mumbai/Mumbai or remote-friendly. Want to know if my background is an asset or needs translating, whether a cert is worth it, and what the real growth trajectory and pay look like in this field long term.

this happened today and I’m still processing it.

I had my earphones in. Not really in the mood to chat, just wanted to workout. But this guy at my gym kept trying to talk. More of I just want to talk to someone.. Small talk at first, where you from, how long you been coming here. I kept taking my earphones out because he kept trying to engage with me but by asking me questions.

Eventually he asks what I do. I tell him I’m a therapist.

He says something like therapy is for people who couldn’t handle the “strokes” of life. People who can’t take it. I was confused and I asked him that strokes? He said yeah people who couldn’t handle the tension and stress. ( tbh I was literally relieved at this point that thank god, he didn’t actually mean strokes )

I’ve been doing this for 5-6 years now. Over 5000 hours between private practice, corporate consulting, group sessions, training programs.

And here’s the thing I can’t stop thinking about. I didn’t push back. I got curious instead. Asked him why he felt that way, what shaped that view. Some mix of instinct and actual empathy kicked in before I could even decide what I wanted to do.

Was I offended? Yes. Did I still choose to understand him instead of correcting him? Also yes, more than I was offended

Now I keep going back and forth. Did I do the empathetic thing because that’s genuinely who I am, or did I use empathy as a shield so I didn’t have to have an uncomfortable conversation defending my own profession?

You did everything right. Good college. Decent job. Ticked the boxes. So why does it feel like this?

Everyone Made It, No One's Happy is a psychologist's honest account of why an entire generation is exhausted, quietly hollow, and deeply reluctant to say so out loud. Written by practising consultant psychologist Vishal Ram, this book does not offer morning routines, five-step plans, or the promise of transformation. It offers something rarer: an accurate diagnosis of the system that is wearing you out, and the solidarity of someone who has been inside it too.

Part cultural critique, part psychological insight, part honest confession — for everyone who achieved exactly what they were supposed to and still cannot explain why it doesn't feel like enough. You are not the problem. The framing is.

Tropes: Existential burnout, achievement culture critique, mental health lens on modern life, self-discovery through psychological insight

Trigger Warnings: Discussions of burnout, existential distress, emotional exhaustion, depression, societal pressure
