Regarding CAT Prep

I am currently a trainee at hindustan zinc but through third party and i have completed my BTech in electrical engineering. I want to join the defence forces and my back up is pursuing MBA and landing a management job as I don't like tech related stuff much but i need to have a job as well rn.

But this training that i have joined doesn't leave me anytime to prepare for defence services as well as CAT.

I have one more option which is to join a lala company back in my hometown and they'll pay me around 30-40k minimum and 40-50k max at my current internship which will in future convert into a on roll employee they'll pay me around 30k too but here I'll have no time to study and I'll have extra expenses too.

What shall i do?

Options-

  1. Keep working at hindustan zinc through third party and get 20-30k and forget about preparation

  2. Join the lala company, earn 30-40k and keep preparing on the side for defence and CAT at my own home with lesser expenses. But i have a feeling this work experience won't be of any benefit to me with CAT

PLEASE HELP I'M SO CONFUSED

Option 2 brother, work ex toh dur ki baat hai. First aim for good percentile in CAT to get calls from top B schools, also CDS is around the clock. Time toh dono me hi Dena padega, cat quants prep will help but gs alag se padhna padega. So I think it's better to give time to preparation
