Career confusion
Career confusion is not indecision. It is usually the sensible reaction to a big question nobody has helped you break down.
This is Narender Vashistha’s career counselling work.More about Narender
What this often feels like
You picked a stream at seventeen, or a job at twenty-two, and somewhere along the way you stopped being sure whose choice it was.
Maybe the work is fine and you feel nothing much about it. Maybe everyone around you seems to have a plan and you're improvising. Maybe you're doing well by every visible measure and quietly wondering how many more years of this there are.
Students often describe it differently — too many options, too much advice, and a decision that feels permanent at an age when nothing else does.
What we’d actually do together
This part of the practice is Narender's. He works with students choosing a direction and with professionals who've stalled, and he starts from where you actually are rather than where you're supposed to be.
That means looking at what you're genuinely good at, what holds your attention when nobody's watching, what you're willing to trade — money, time, location, status — and what you're not.
He uses structured personality and aptitude assessments alongside the conversation, so you're working with something more solid than a gut feeling. Then we break the big unanswerable question into decisions you can actually make this month.
The aim is that you leave with options and a way of thinking about them. Not a verdict on what you should be.
When it might be worth talking to someone
It might be worth talking when the question has been sitting there for months and you keep putting it down.
Or when you're close to a choice that's hard to reverse — a course, a switch, a move — and you'd rather think it through with someone than decide it at midnight.
It's also worth it if you're choosing for the very first time. Students are genuinely welcome, and starting early leaves more room to think it over.
If you would like to talk
There is no rush, and booking a first session does not commit you to anything after it. You can also just ask a question first — that is a completely normal way to begin.
