From Developer to UPSC Aspirant

In my third year, I was placed in Tata Consultancy Services as an Assistant System Engineer. After the end of my graduation in 2020 I bought NCERT books to begin my preparation from the basic. That year was hit by the COVID pandemic, I got my joining letter from TCS and got work from home. My job and preparation were going parallelly but I used to get so exhausted after my job, I couldn’t gather enough energy to study.

So I made up my mind and resigned from my job after completing a year tenure. I was preparing for full-time but even couldn’t maintain consistency as I was studying at home only.
I joined another company and in the initial days all was going well but after 2-3 months my workload started increasing. After working for 8 months, I resigned and started my full-time aspirant journey.

I joined the Mains mentorship program and shifted to Ahmedabad in July 2023 so that I could stay alone and study peacefully. It’s going to be a year now, and my exam is on 16th June 2024. Just 25 days to go.

Revising whatever I have studied and hoping for good results.
