About The Native Concern:

My career feels stuck and has regressed over the past decade, affecting my mental health. I often feel my decisions have led me astray. 1. After my MBA, I couldn’t secure a placement and returned to TCS in a new stream, despite advice to stay in my original field. This decision was neutral, but I missed using my H1B to move to the US. 2. Instead of exploring within TCS, I switched companies, losing the chance to go to the US permanently. 3. At Capgemini, I accepted a junior position compared to TCS. 4. Unable to move to the US, I pushed for a move to Australia but sometimes regret not seeking growth in India. 5. Despite progress, I felt two levels below my peers and switched jobs again, ignoring Capgemini’s retention efforts. 6. At Cognizant, I got the role and pay I wanted but was fired after five months. Now, I work in a junior position with less salary, feeling humiliated. Each decision seems wrong, leaving me where I was 12 years ago. My MBA feels wasted.
