I am stuck and confused about my career.

Asked by Piyush Soni on 2026-03-26 in CAT Prep

i have started preparing for the CAT exam in April 2025, and then I gave my first attempt, but my score was too low. Then, I took the XAT exam, but again I could not score a good score. now after that, what should I do? I wanted to repeat, and should I also do a job alongside because parents are saying this, or should I start my side hustle? What should I know? I am currently a BBA student in my final year and final semester from a tier-3 college with no experience. I wanted to go into the marketing field.

You can do what feels right to you because at the end of the day you're the one who will have to justify it during the interviews. If you have a side hustle plan/idea pursue it. If you prefer doing a job, apply for some. If you want work-ex, gain that first. But, do what you feel like.
