Carrer help
Hi I wanted some honest guidance from you regarding career direction and SSC CGL preparation.
I’m from a tier-3 college and currently in my final year. I learned MERN stack, built full-stack projects, and prepared seriously for developer roles. But the current IT market feels very difficult for freshers, especially off-campus. Compared to earlier mass hiring periods, opportunities now seem much lower and getting interviews has become very difficult.
Because of this uncertainty, I’ve started thinking seriously about government exams like SSC CGL too. I belong to the EWS category, but before making any major decision, I wanted honest guidance from someone who has already gone through the SSC CGL journey.
I wanted to ask:
- how difficult is the journey realistically,
- how much consistency is needed,
- how long preparation usually takes,
- and whether switching now would be practical or not.
Would really appreciate your honest advice whenever you’re free.
