I had been preparing for around 1 year with job and then full-time for the last 6 months. Have cleared Prelims this time and will be writing Mains but I feel I'm underprepared for it. For the past couple of weeks, ever since I gave Prelims I have been feeling like the entire preparation thing is not worth it -- even though I've cleared it. I thought the feeling would go away once the results are out, but it's been a week and I still don't feel motivated to prepare, although I am writing 15, maybe 20, answers every day.
I was working at a fintech in BLR for 37 LPA fixed, where a promotion would've been due this month. I would've been close to 45-48 LPA by now. Now I look at the job market and the pace at which things are moving. There's so much happening around, in AI, startups, and the world in general. It would be difficult for me to join back even at the same salary that I was working at, I've accepted the fact that I will have to take a 20-25% pay cut minimum and I end up regretting my decision.
But the bigger issue is, that the syllabus is so archaic and disconnected from the realities that affect us today.
I entered this prep for a simple reason that I liked the idea of making economic policy from the top. But the further our country goes, the more I realise that economic policy is no longer just IAS - it is more and more being shaped by industrialists, startup founders, and technocratic experts. Which is a place I could have reached alternatively also, by following the path that I was already on.
So basically, does it even make sense at all to pursue something with a 0.1% success rate when the opportunity cost is so high?
TL;DR - Left a high paying job 6m ago, cleared prelims this year, appearing for mains. Feeling unmotivated by the stark contrast between current developments in the world and the syllabus that we are forced to study. Is it even worth it?
All other bases are decently covered, consistently low scores in LR (tried to push hard but still couldn't cross 18) - please help with paper-solving approach, low hanging fruits - also, how do you decide which question set is worth attempting? Any insights will be immensely helpful. Thanks
