Career struggles and feedback

I’m at a stage in my career where, despite having 8 years of experience, I feel that my salary doesn’t reflect it. For example, if someone with similar experience is earning ₹10, I’m earning just ₹3. I started my career in retail as an associate, then moved to the BPO sector hoping for a better work-life balance—but that didn’t work out. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I lost my job. Later, I got a contractual role as a data entry operator at Metropolis Healthcare, followed by another contract position as a content moderator at Google. Currently, I’m working at WNS in the British Airways process as an operations associate. But I’m not satisfied with the salary or the job role. The biggest challenge is that I’m still not sure what career path is truly right for me. If anyone with a similar background has found clarity or growth, your feedback would really help.

Couple of switches can redirect your salary part but for that you have to figure out the best path. IMO try exploring the opportunities in your domain which is currently evolving and learn those. If already at that stage then look out for similar opportunities that matches your work domain. PS. Switching to a completely new career path will ruin all efforts you've made and might be frustrating as well

During Covid I was also very confused but having a mentor and self study changed my direction
