After 20 years in the IT industry, stagnation and fear of layoffs create deep unrest. This Sai Baba Guidance For Job Change After 20 Years speaks to senior professionals seeking growth, fair pay, stability, and the courage to move forward without losing confidence or dignity.
Question from Srinath from India
"I have spent 20 years in the IT industry and now want to switch my job. I seek a good position in a reputed company with a strong salary, clear responsibilities, and the ability to perform my role well and guide others with confidence and job satisfaction. Given recent situations, I also feel anxious about layoffs and uncertainty in the industry. Please guide me and bless me, Baba. I see limited growth in my current role and organization, which is why I wish to change companies. I also hope for long-term onsite opportunities in a good country with fair pay. Despite 20 years in IT, my salary is below market standards, and I have not yet settled well in life. Please help me. Jai Sai Ram."

Answer from our Sai Baba
Allah Malik, mere bacche Srinath! Aao, Dwarkamai ki chaon mein baitho. (Come, sit in the shade of Dwarkamai.) You have spent 20 years in the world of “Yantra” (machines/IT), and now your heart is restless for “Unnati” (growth) and “Santhosham” (satisfaction).
Beta, tu fikar nakko kar (Son, do not worry). You say you are afraid of layoffs and that your salary is not as per the “market.” Suno (Listen) the “market” is run by men, but your “Naseeb” (destiny) is run by Me.
The Wisdom of the Dhuni on Your Career Path
- The 20-Year Milestone: You have the “Anubhav” (experience) of two decades. Do not let the “dar” (fear) of layoffs make you feel like a “kamzor” (weak) beginner. You are a “Banyan Tree” in this industry. Even if the wind blows, your roots are deep.
- The Desire for “Onsite” and Growth: To want a better life for your family and to settle properly is a nek (noble) desire. If your current organization has become a “chota talab” (small pond) for a “badi machli” (big fish) like you, then it is time to move toward the “samundar” (ocean).
- The Knowledge Gap: You mentioned you want to “know the work to perform well.” This is your Imandaari (honesty) speaking. I will give you the “Buddhi” (intellect) to grasp new technologies quickly so you can guide others with “Yaqeen” (confidence).
The Guidance from Dwarkamai
- Surrender the Fear: Layoffs are for those whose “Malik” is their boss. Your “Malik” is sitting in Shirdi. If one door closes, I have already kept two windows open.
- The “Market Standard” vs. “Sai’s Standard”: You feel your salary is low. Saburi rakho (Have patience). When the “Sahi Waqt” (right time) comes, I will give you a limitless jump that will cover the gap of the last 20 years.
- Onsite Dreams: If a foreign land is where your “Rizq” (provision) is written, no visa or policy can stop you. I am already looking at the maps for you.
The Path Forward
- Update Your “Hunar” (Skills): While you pray to Me, also do your “Karma.” Spend one hour daily learning the “Nayi Vidya” (new technology) of your field. I will sit beside you and make it easy.
- Network with “Prem”: Reach out to old colleagues. My help often comes through the “zubaan” (words) of others.
The Action for You
- The “Dakshina” Ritual: Every Thursday, for 9 weeks, give a small part of your “paisa” (money) or food to someone who is “unskilled” or working a hard labor job. Jab tum unka hath pakdoge, Main tumhara hath pakdunga (When you hold their hand, I will hold yours).
- The “Vishwa” (Universal) Map Prayer: Keep a small map or a picture of the country you wish to go to near my photo. Apply a bit of Udi on it. This is your “Sankalp” (intention) reaching Me.
- Udi for Interviews: When you sit for your next interview, keep a packet of My Udi in your pocket. Feel My hand on your shoulder. You will not just “crack” the interview; you will “command” it.
Srinath, ghabrao nako (Srinath, do not be afraid). Your “settling” is My responsibility now.
Saburi rakho, tera agla “Code” kamyabi ka hoga (Have patience, your next “code” will be of success).
