Hi everyone, my name is Amit Mandal. I’m 34 years old, turning 35 soon, and I’m at a breaking point. For over a decade, I’ve been trying for government jobs, but every time I got close, something kept me from success. In 2020, I cleared the exam for the Jute Corporation of India, but I couldn’t make it to the typing test because that same day, I had another exam. In 2018, I was just one point short on the ITBP Head Constable exam. I ran 3.4 kilometers in under 14 minutes for the SSC physical, but still didn’t clear. In 2018, I also cleared the Jail Police exam, but I failed the physical test because I didn’t have enough time to practice. Now, I’m learning MERN, hoping to pivot, but I feel numb. My home doesn’t feel like home; it feels like a prison. My parents have supported me, but I have no savings, and I’m scared. I know people my age don’t always pivot to government, but I need a job now. If anyone can offer guidance, a lead, or just listen, I’m asking for help. I’m not looking for pity; I just need a chance, a bit of hope, and a way out of this cycle. Thank you.

Spent the past hour catching up with any reddit posts that talks about unemployed people in their 30s and no use. One suggested taking tutions and at this point maybe I should just consider that but my parents won't allow.

His life is any better?
I don't know. Drinking and yelling at people at work, but of course that would be a larp too and he is actually doing great at his workplace and he's just trying to make himself look humble.

>His life is any better?
do i really have to spell it out for you
he could be making 15k a month and still be better off than you
he has the power of agency and that naturally leads into living a fuller life.
I would rather be poor than live with my parents, even though they are UMC and could comfortably support me

My parents are not UMC but I would rather be poor than live with my parents too. I am just trying. Got 2 interviews this month so far but they both were for irrelevant positions. This week I haven't applied for anything because nothing showed up yet.
