Hi Here is illustration. In our carrier life we often switch between money and good work. Sometimes we need money as high priority whereas sometimes starving for good work. I am trying to make you understand these situations as per my own experience. Money: Usually money can be earned by settling our position into a company and get relaxed. This would help you to get money with (may be) less effort since you are already know all processes and steps to be followed. This provides you regular salary but gradually keep rust on other areas which you are not working. But could be good in terms of product expertise. Good Work: This can be achieve by your efforts only. Like if you are skilled person and well known within the team you could be chosen much by your manager and even if you did good job in most of the participation there is high chance to get promoted in terms of designation and monitoring. Although it is not 100% true but eventually you get the benefit of being skilled army man in your team. In your situation you should keep continue your job and try to give yourself a deadline for some sample task. Now there are various ways to assign yourself a deadline - 1) Pick any real time small situation and think about solution first. Narrow down requirement and start implementing it. You can ignore UI design and layout initially. 2) Ask http://www.c-sharpcorner.com experts to suggest you for good sample task. I am sure you will definitely get help by this ocean pearls. 3) Find out what all sections you have fear about. Search some tutorials and generate a task using the same section/feature. Well said by someone .. where there's a will there's a way. If you really want to get everything well your hard work would require here. Hope this post may help you to choose a best way to improve and brush-up your skills. Good Luck!

As mahesh rightly said please continue learning in the current job and give shots at your interviews. After first few interviews you feel confident and definitely you will land in a good job. All the best

thanks sir yes i am getting good salary. but sometimes i felt its waste of time.because i am not getting work experience which i am interested. thats why so much confusion in my mind

Mahesh Chand · Answer

Do you need salary? YES Then there is no question that you shall continue your job. While you keep getting learn side by side. However SQL + Oracle + Data are not bad as programming. Big data and data scientists/analysts are in big demand. Report writers are in big demand. You can continue learning new things in same space (without learning .NET). In that case you don't need to jump out of your current job. Hope it helps! Good luck!
