Second job was 2 months internship and 8 months permanent 
Third job was 6 months permanent (they turned the team into freelancers and tbh I felt the company won't last long)
Now the thing is I have been wanting a break for a long time not being able to enjoy stuff really effecting me mentally my friends go out have fun when I am stuck working not just that companies I have worked for so far made me work on Sunday, said sat will be off than switched up later I also want to learn more stuff not being able to while working but I feel like the current company I am working was is paying me well (8lpa), it's a senior role and WFH if I leave another won't come by if I don't leave than how will I learn and be able to get more opportunities in future (and the biggest point is that I am feeling suicidal cause of some stuff in my life) not sure what to do plz help 😥

I need advice

Hi everyone,
I’m looking to switch my career and would appreciate some advice on how to move forward. Here’s a bit about my situation:
I worked as an electrical technician from 2016 to 2020 but decided to quit and take a break. I’ve been unemployed for over 4 years.
In 2017, I enrolled in college to work toward my bachelors in electrical engineering, which took me six years to complete (graduated in 2023) because of backlogs. My CGPA is 5.6 out of 10.
In 2024, I decided to switch careers and took up a full-stack Java developer certification course (6 month course plus a 3 month unpaid internship from the same institute). I’m now feeling uncertain about how to approach the job market, especially with a career gap, my academic performance and age.

Given my background do you think anyone will hire me as a fresher in the tech industry?

Clocking 14-hour days might sound like the ultimate dedication, but at what cost?

This techie’s story is a harsh reminder of how overworking can damage the very things we work so hard for. The Rs 7.5 Cr promotion is impressive, but the toll it took on his personal life? Heartbreaking. His wife filed for divorce, and his success feels hollow.

Here’s why 14-hour days and 90+ hour weeks don’t work:

1️⃣Health deteriorates: Physical and mental burnout are inevitable.
2️⃣Relationships suffer: Time is the currency of love and connection.
3️⃣Long hours ≠ Better results: Productivity declines after a certain point.

Success isn’t about being the last one at your desk or working yourself to exhaustion. It’s about finding balance achieving your goals without sacrificing your well-being and loved ones.

Remember: Life doesn’t pause for promotions. Make time for what truly matters.

Techie worked 14 hours a day, got a Rs 7.5 Cr promotion, but...

past 7-8 months trying hard to get placed. gave 7 interviews. 3 cleared fully(even got congratulations mail) . Sadly In that 2 are not responding even mc HR not picking call or msg. 1 offer left is non-tech Business Development Associate at a startup in Noida.
- 6 montths internship - 15k + variable ~15k
- ppo with 6-9 LPA 
- joining next month(march)
what should i do? Should i wait for another chances in tech or move on with this offer and try while working with the startup.

If i wait another 2-3 months i will be competing with 2025 passouts.

my skills-Java, Springboot-hibernate, APIs, Angular(basic), Azure-DevOps, K8s, Docker, Prom-Grafana stack.
