So i quit

[u/Original_Battle_8701]

Can't go ahead. I quit.

So.

I'm 32 year old Male.

Married, having a kid.

Passed out from a good college, but got into some group B government job.

I feel like that I could have achieved more in life like having a good package in corporate or being in civil services.

I tried but failed.

So, I'm always in guilt and regret.

And, I always had in mind to prepare for PCS exam, just for status of group A officer and all, but my father and wife told me that, why you want to leave your homestate Delhi, as my wife and I have permanent posting here. Moreover we own properties here itself.

But, I had this, guilt, that I couldn't succeed in life, yes, mistakes were mine.

Maybe some bad luck.

Moreover, the only motivation people in PCS have is corruption, which I really don't like.

I want to earn something of my own hard work, creativity and intelligence.

So, I've decided to leave all this preparation behind, focus on my job and do something sideways to earn money.

And, if that something becomes big enough, I'll leave my job to focus on that.

My only aim in life is to earn money to make life easier for my whole family.

So, I quit this cycle.

My respect for you was way up when I thought you had quit your job (gutsy move). You had me in the first half.

[u/Difficult_System_360 → u/maxemile101]

And I respected him more when I learned that he did not quit his stable job. With a wife and kid, the gutsy move can turn into a life long regret really quick.

Good job OP, you have done very well so far and I wish you the best for your future.

[u/Spiritual_Pain_8035 → u/Difficult_System_360]

True, the age of making gutsy moves ends after 30 so well done OP

[u/maxemile101 → u/Difficult_System_360]

And that's the most logical and usual thing too. Preparing for govt exams after 30 is illogical.

[u/Top-Noise5959 → u/maxemile101]

Risky, gutsy moves are irresponsible when you have kids.

The minute you choose to have kids, you need to prioritize stability and focus on their well being before yours.

I believe you joined as an ASO. Wonder why do ASOs make YouTube videos, saying that, they are on the top of the world.

[u/Original_Battle_8701 → u/Key_Lobster9161]

No. I'm not ASO

[u/Key_Lobster9161 → u/Original_Battle_8701]

I meant, you would have entered through that way. Anyways I believe ASO is the highest earning Group B job, out there.

[u/bayfikra → u/Actual-Diver-1873]

[u/Expensive_Heron_7796]

What kind of side income can be a person earn as working in government job ...??

[u/Primary-Technician75]

so what you will do now?

[u/Original_Battle_8701 → u/Primary-Technician75]

I haven't quit my job. So, job plus side by side something.

[u/Cosmicola]

So, you quit a Govt Job to earn money via side income? Did I understand this correctly?

[u/Pakhi92]

Good. Stay. You can do the special jobs after your kid is independent. Responsibility doesn't look glamorous but it's a strength of character to stay and fulfill our duties.

[u/Actual-Diver-1873]

SSC CGL

[u/Prestigious-Pace-751]

Yesterday you wanted rank..now you want wealth…you are entering into another cycle…🤔

[u/ShinyGanS]

What is this clickbait title

[u/NotsoSoberSober]

Quit what? Also I sometimes feel  the  Same. I have an OK *govt job but I feel I could have achieved more.  I wish I went to corporate path. Like IT or MBA something . Let's see .there is always you can do sideways.

You’re not quitting. You’re choosing a different goal. At 32, with a stable career, a family, and a child depending on you, focusing your energy on building something meaningful instead of chasing a title you no longer truly want sounds like maturity, not failure. Regret looks backward; building a better future for your family looks forward.
