Need Advice: Stuck in Career Due to BGV Issue 😐
Hi connections, I need help with a career hurdle. I graduated in 2020 (COVID delayed exams), had a campus offer from an IT firm but joined Byju’s as a BDA trainee, because my final exams got delayed and the IT firm was about to revoke the offer as it was already one year they provided the offer. When my final exams were announced, I asked Byju’s for time off, but they asked me to resign. I worked only 10 days, and they didn’t provide any relieving/experience letter. I later joined my IT offer, completed smooth BGV, and built 4+ years of experience in data science. Now, while trying to switch, companies flag my UAN history with Byju’s and ask for documents I don’t have. I did get a mail from HR stating they can’t issue letters—but companies don’t accept it. Honestly, I didn’t know this would cause issues back then. Now, I feel stuck. If anyone has faced this or can guide me, please help.
