My wife is depressed with her career life
Hi all. I'm 24M and my wife 23F is quite sad about her career. For context she did B.Tech in CSE with me and was the gold medalist of her batch. In the third year she prepared for Accenture along with me but she didn't get selected while I got selected. I however rejected the offer later due to personal reasons.
After failing Accenture she felt really depressed because she studied a lot for it. She was dropped off after the final round. Fast forward to fourth year. She got an internship at a local startup and she referred me there. It was later converted to a fulltime job. Now this company is kind of a LALA company and I worked there for 1.5 years at just 3LPA before switching to a company in another city which pays more than 2 × of the old company. My wife is still there stuck at 3LPA. The company has just promised appraisal to all the employees and haven't paid the salary of two months due to financial trouble.
I referred my wife to my new company and she did two interviews here but didn't get selected. The first interview was taken by a person ik at the company who is quite famous for lying and trying to avoid any responsibility.
Her second round was way better than the first and was taken by someone else. Both rounds were technical.
She got a message today from the HR saying that the feedback was not positive and she isn't selected. She was quite happy for 2-3 days because we both thought she would get selected and she was really shining. And I'm sure now she'll again be really sad about it. She may not say it to me but I would feel it.
She sometimes opens up to me on how sad she is with her career life. She has really good dreams.
Currently she's doing MBA in BA from Amity Online and is in second semester.
I tell her to study coding at home when she's free but she just feels like what's the use if I am not getting any interview calls and all.
I really don't know how to motivate her.
She has had hobbies before like drawing but she stopped it due to religious reasons. She doesn't have hobbies anymore. When she isn't working she is simply laying in bed and watching YouTube or some reality shows like lockupp and bigg boss. I normally don't like any of these shows. But I don't stop her because she likes it.
She used to love to travel in the city but now she doesn't like that too. She's happy with us being married (it was my love marriage).
I just want her to find a good job or something that will keep her happy and help her achieve her dreams.
Her job profile:
Full Stack Developer
MERN + NextJS with Applied AI
Prefers WFH or hybrid in NCR or LKO.
I would love any suggestions.
TL;DR: My wife is a gold-medalist CSE graduate currently stuck in a 3 LPA job despite having good skills and an MBA in progress. After another recent interview rejection, she's losing motivation. How can I support her, and what can she do to improve her career prospects in NCR/Lucknow?
