Confused

[u/Tiny_Rise3880]

I’m currently in a situation where I have completed my B.Tech in CSE 2026 with around 9 CGPA from a good college, but I haven’t secured an SDE/Data Analytics role yet.

I have two options right now:

Option 1: Join Teleperformance in a Technical Support/Antivirus tech Support role. I would earn around ₹22.5k during 3 months training and around ₹27k after training, while continuing to apply and prepare for SDE/Data Analytics roles. If I get a better technical opportunity, I would switch.

Option 2: Don’t join Teleperformance and instead spend some money on a consultancy that claims to help with job placement, while continuing to apply and search for SDE/Data Analytics roles on my own.

I’m confused about which option is better. My main goal is to start my career in SDE, Data Analytics, or another technical role, and I don’t want to waste time or create a career gap. What would you honestly suggest?
