F30, what to do now?
I am an MBA from tier 1 college and was workinh at a reputed company (25 LPA). However, I quit in sep 2025 to try for regulatory bodies first and last time as I was super frustrated with my job. I was super confident that I would clear it however missed PFRDA, IFSCA with very little marks and SEBI also (will see how many marks once scorecard is out). However, now I have a 9 month resume gap and not getting any calls from recruiters due to bad market. The ones calling are ghosting after getting to know about my sabbatical. Not sure what to do, only options left are:
Apply for SBI PO, I am eligible this year (never gave before). Apart from stiff competition, feels like a step down. Not sure if it is worth the effort and time after hearing negative wlb reviews.
This I am already trying to get another job.
Try teaching for CAT/govt exams on QRE, again coachings pay very less
Appear for NET and go for PhD/Assistant Prof route.
