Do you feel stuck with the career choices you have made in your life? Is the daily grind of professional life gradually pushing you towards dissatisfaction and burnout? If you identify with any of these questions, listen to Simerjeet Singh’s live chat with Akriti Goel in the Beginner’s Mind Series.

Akriti Goel is a 2015 batch Engineering graduate from BITS Pilani who swiftly climbed the corporate ladder. She worked with the company’s CEO and supervised new initiatives, operations, content, design and company PR until, in January 2020, she had burnout and quit the job. Then, the turnaround started, and she prepared for the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET). She got an All India rank of 1118 and is set to pursue a career in medicine. She will be a doctor at 35 and a surgeon at 40.

Simerjeet Singh and Akriti Goel share why it is essential to follow your dreams. Career transition is the most difficult choice you may have to make in your life, but you should not desist from it. Together they explore questions like “Can you restart your career?”, “Is age a barrier in a Career change?” and “Can women opt for career transition in the Indian society?”.They emphasize that there is no limit to what you can achieve if you have faith in your abilities. The conversation also bursts the myth that in the Indian situation, once a person chooses a career, he cannot make a transition. 

If you are passing through such a phase or believe that there is a need to reinvent yourself, the conversation with Akriti Goyal will clarify many doubts and pave the way for you to achieve your career goals.
