How are you guys managing it?

I am feeling so lost! :)

I’m feeling anxious about Monday starting and how I’m going to manage work and get things done. I don’t know how things are going to go.

I’m fresh out of college. I worked at one company for a couple of months and left because I thought I would pursue an MBA. My exam didn’t go well, and after that I picked up another job. Now this job is quite hectic and I’m learning a completely new domain.

The thing is, I don’t think I want to pursue finance in the long run. Whenever I think about my future, I feel like I want to do something in marketing because it seems more creative. But at the same time, I don’t feel like I have the skills for it right now.

I’m also preparing for the GMAT, and sometimes I feel confused about how I’m supposed to manage everything together—work, GMAT prep, learning new skills, and figuring out my career.

What makes it harder is that in my previous job, I kept thinking about leaving. Now I’m having similar thoughts again. I keep wondering whether I should leave this job too or whether I should just continue and focus on my preparation alongside work.

I’m still in my probation period, which makes me question things even more.

Has anyone else been in a similar situation? How did you manage your preparation while working?

Did you continue with the job even when you weren’t sure about the long-term career path, or did you decide to leave and focus completely on your goals?
