When Success Doesn’t Feel Like Success

Ankit Sharma, 26, joined Infosys straight out of college. On paper, it was everything he had dreamed of — a stable IT job, proud parents, financial independence. But within two years, he told us:

“I write code every day, but I don’t feel alive doing it. I studied engineering because it was ‘safe,’ but my passion was always design. Now, I’m scared to switch.”

Fast forward to another client — Ritika Mehra, 38, Senior HR Manager at a large FMCG company. She shared:

“I’ve been in HR for over 12 years. My salary has grown, but my role hasn’t. I feel invisible in my own organization. I’m good at what I do, but I don’t know what’s next.”

These are not isolated cases. Our research shows:

Career satisfaction in India is 45% vs 65% globally.

Mid-career burnout is 42% in India vs 28% worldwide.

Only 25% of Indian professionals have access to reskilling, compared to 55% globally.

Why does this happen?

Because careers in India are often shaped by degrees, family expectations, and “safe choices” — not passion, purpose, or evolving skills.

At CreerMntor Consultancy Pvt Ltd, we help professionals like Ankit and Ritika:

-Re-discover their true career drivers.

-Upgrade skills aligned with future opportunities.

-Break free from stagnation with mentorship & structured guidance.

-Build not just a career, but a purposeful growth journey.

Remember: Careers are not about climbing one ladder. They’re about building your own staircase — step by step, on your own terms.

Career Confusions in India – Why Mentorship Matters

Career is more than just a job—it’s the journey of growth, learning, and contribution. Yet, in India, many students and parents face deep confusion while making career decisions.

Common Confusions

-Limited awareness of options (beyond engineering, medicine, govt. jobs).

-Peer & societal pressure influencing choices.

-Passion vs. job security dilemmas.

-Fear of uncertain job markets and changing skills.

-Contradictory advice leading to information overload.

Questions Students Often Ask

-Which stream should I choose after Class 10/12?

-Should I follow passion or play safe?

-What skills are future-proof?

-How do I balance my dream and my parents’ expectations?

How Mentorship Helps

A mentor provides clarity, confidence, and direction by:

-Mapping aptitude and interests.

-Exploring new-age career options.

-Designing skill-building roadmaps.

-Bridging parent-student expectations.

-Offering industry insights & emotional support.

With the right guidance, career choices become opportunities—not confusions. Every student deserves a roadmap that matches their potential and passion.

Mentorship is not just advice—it’s the compass for a brighter future.

Do Not Run After Score, Run After Skill

As parents, we often measure our children’s potential through their marks and grades. But the truth is — a scorecard may open a door, yet it is skill that keeps the door open for life.

In today’s world of rapid change, the professional journey of a child depends less on examination results and more on practical skills, creativity, and adaptability. Here’s why shifting our focus is necessary:

 Scores are temporary; skills are permanent.

A 95% in school looks good today, but without communication, digital literacy, or problem-solving ability, success may not sustain tomorrow.

 Skills bring employability.

From engineering to entrepreneurship, employers value those who can apply knowledge, not just memorize it. A child skilled in teamwork, technology, or design thinking stands ahead in the job market.

 Resilience and adaptability.

Careers of the future will not be linear. Students may switch industries multiple times. Skills like critical thinking, negotiation, and self-learning will help them thrive.

 Scores create pressure, skills create confidence.

High marks may give short-term validation, but skills give children the confidence to chase their dreams, face setbacks, and still move forward.

 Future-ready goals.

AI, automation, and global competition are reshaping careers. Parents must help their children focus on skills that will matter — digital know-how, emotional intelligence, financial literacy, and creativity.

As guardians of the next generation, our responsibility is not just to push children for marks, but to prepare them with skills that ensure lifelong achievement.

Because when a child runs after skill, success runs after them.
