Are social media and podcasts replacing traditional career guidance?

For GenZ, the answer is yes.

Instead of relying solely on formal education, they are turning to digital platforms to shape their careers: LinkedIn posts, Twitter threads, podcasts and even short-form reels.

Here is why GenZ prefers digital career guidance:

➡  Real-time Insights
Social platforms provide up-to-date advice on industries, trends and skills that textbooks can’t keep pace with.

➡  Diverse Perspectives
They can learn from global leaders, niche experts and peers sharing first-hand experiences.

➡  Bite-sized Learning
Short videos, threads, and podcasts allow learning on the go, fitting into busy schedules.

➡  Interactive Engagement
Unlike textbooks, these platforms let them ask questions, network and test ideas in real-world contexts.

➡  Accessibility for All
No matter where they are from, GenZ can access top-notch career guidance without the barriers of cost or location.

➡  Inspiration on Demand
Motivational stories, career journeys and expert advice are available 24/7, helping them stay driven and informed.

➡ Learning at Their Own Pace
GenZ can explore multiple fields simultaneously, experiment with side projects and pivot careers without waiting for formal approvals.

➡ Mentorship Without Boundaries
They can connect directly with mentors worldwide via LinkedIn, Clubhouse or podcasts, something traditional guidance rarely offered.

➡ Confidence to Self-Direct
By learning from real people, real experiences and real-time advice, GenZ feels empowered to shape their own paths.

What does this mean for educators and organizations?

✅ To stay relevant, they need to step into GenZ’s world, digital, interactive and immediate.
✅ Those who cling to traditional methods risk being overlooked.
✅ Those who adapt can play a meaningful role in shaping the next generation’s career paths.
✅ Innovation in guidance programs, combining tech, mentorship and experiential learning, will be the key to retaining influence.


What do you think?
Are educators and organizations ready to evolve fast enough to guide GenZ where they actually are?

Should you buy a home or continue to stay on rent?
Let’s do the Math!


✍ Let's analyze this choice using specific assumptions:

Property Value: ₹1 Crore (₹10 Million)
Home Loan Amount: ₹80 lakh (80% of property value)
Interest Rate: 8.75% per annum
Loan Tenure: 20 years
Annual Rent: ₹4 lakh (₹33,333 per month)
Annual Rent Increase: 10%
Tax Regime: Old Income Tax Regime
Tax Bracket: 30%


[1] Monthly EMI Calculation:

Using the formula for Equated Monthly Installment (EMI):

EMI = P × r × (1 + r)^n / [(1 + r)^n – 1]

Where:

P = Principal Loan Amount (₹80,00,000)
r = Monthly Interest Rate (8.75% per annum / 12 months = 0.729% per month)
n = Loan tenure in months (20 years × 12 = 240 months)

Calculating the EMI:
EMI ≈ ₹70,919


[2] Annual Housing Costs:

Owning:

Annual EMI Payments: ₹70,919 × 12 = ₹8,50,000
Property Tax and Maintenance (estimated at 1% of property value): ₹1,00,000
Total Annual Cost: ₹9,50,000

Renting:

First-Year Rent: ₹4,00,000
Subsequent Years with 10% Increase:
Year 2: ₹4,00,000 × 1.10 = ₹4,40,000
Year 3: ₹4,40,000 × 1.10 = ₹4,84,000
Year 4: ₹4,84,000 × 1.10 = ₹5,32,400
Year 5: ₹5,32,400 × 1.10 = ₹5,85,640


[3] Tax Benefits Under the Old Regime:

Home Loan Interest Deduction (Section 24):

Maximum Deduction: ₹2,00,000 per annum
Tax Savings: ₹2,00,000 × 30% = ₹60,000

Principal Repayment Deduction (Section 80C):

Maximum Deduction: ₹1,50,000 per annum
Tax Savings: ₹1,50,000 × 30% = ₹45,000
Total Annual Tax Savings: ₹60,000 + ₹45,000 = ₹1,05,000


[4] Net Annual Costs After Tax Benefits:

Owning:

Total Annual Cost: ₹9,50,000
Less Tax Savings: ₹1,05,000
Net Annual Cost: ₹8,45,000

Renting:

First-Year Rent: ₹4,00,000
Net Annual Cost: ₹4,00,000


[5] Long-Term Considerations:

Appreciation:

Assuming a conservative property appreciation rate of 5% per annum, the property's value after 20 years would be:
Future Value = ₹1,00,00,000 × (1 + 0.05)^20 ≈ ₹2,65,000

Rent Escalation:

Total Rent Paid Over 20 Years with 10% Annual Increase:
Approximately ₹1,52,00,000


👉 Final Thoughts:

While renting appears more economical in the short term, purchasing a home offers long-term financial benefits through property appreciation and tax savings. 

Additionally, owning a home provides stability and the potential for asset accumulation. 

However, it's crucial to assess your financial readiness, considering factors like down payment availability, job stability, and future plans before making a decision.

💡 What do you prefer? 

Buy a home or continue to stay on rent?

𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐲!

As a career consultant, I’ve seen 1000's resumes of all shapes and sizes. 

And the length question is one that comes up a lot: is shorter really better? 

I'd say, YES. But why?

I recently worked with a client who had a ten-page resume. TEN PAGES!!!

The reason was simple: he had a long and varied career with many accomplishments. 

But when we looked at the details, we realized that much of it was irrelevant to his current job search.

Together, we pared it down to two pages, highlighting only the most important achievements and skills. 

And guess what? 

He started getting more interviews immediately.

Why? Because he was able to clearly and concisely communicate his value in a way that was easy for the hiring manager to understand.

So, whether you’re an experienced professional or just starting out, focus on quality over quantity.

✅ Highlight your most impressive achievements and skills, and use metrics wherever possible to demonstrate your impact. 

✅ Above all, make sure your resume is easy to read and visually appealing.

✅ Remember, your resume is a marketing document, not an autobiography. 

✅ So be strategic, and keep it concise and relevant to the job you are applying for.

Biggest lies people hear when switching to Data Science

Let’s clear a few myths today. 

Especially if you're coming from a service company and trying to break into product roles.

Myth 1:
“You need IIT/NIT to get into a product company.”

In reality, companies don’t hire your college name.
They hire your skills, projects, and ability to solve problems.

Myth 2:
“PBCs only hire competitive programmers.”

DS & ML interviews aren't just DSA gauntlets.
You’ll face SQL, ML concepts, scenario-based questions, pipelines, and real-world data case studies.

Myth 3:
“Work-life balance sucks in product companies.”

Depends on the company, team, and culture & not the label.
Some product teams actually offer better balance and better growth than service firms.

If you're serious about switching, here’s the truth:
Skills + projects + consistent prep = offers.

And to help you with all 3 things, Bosscoder Academy’s Data Science is perfect for working professionals.

Check their program here → bcalinks.com/pPX3jEy 

They’ve helped 2200+ professionals switch into Data & ML roles at top tech companies by offering:

✅ Structured curriculum covering ML, Deep Learning & GenAI
✅ Industry projects with real world datasets that build your portfolio
✅ 1:1 mentorship from Data Scientist at top product companies
