Tips for me before I quit IT job to prepare for government job?

4•shivajikobardan•1d ago
I live with parents. And parents will support me for living.

I don't think (since this is Nepal) current employer allows a sabbatical for 3 months or so.

# Reasons to quit

- I’ve had arguments with senior team members in the past, and my relationships at work are strained.

- I've already applied in lots of roles and failed 3 interviews in a row. I am now assured that merit has nothing to do with getting a private job in nepal.

- Since I am in ITOps, like linux, webservers, docker, k8s etc. Such opportunities are extremely limited in private IT job. No-name Companies are only seeking for 6+ year experienced people. Clowns.

- The opportunities for ITOps are better in government job.

- Underwhelming social skills and I feel the need to learn social skills. I am not sure how quitting a social situation will help me make more social though lol.

I have all the backing, so I want to quit but before that I want to make sure that I ticked off every box of thought. I mean I am letting go of a live opportunity for something without surity.

The IT/Computer government jobs in Nepal are easier to get into compared to other government jobs(Like administration, accounting etc).

the pay is decent as well. Specially there is no discrimination like crazy in private where they pay you only if you've any leverage irrespective of merit.

You come off as whiny and entitled. My advice is to work on your social skills and how you present yourself because that will give you the most bang for your buck.
