I am a 24 years old Software Engineer in an IT company. I don’t have any real or meaningful work in my office for the past 3 months. I am always sitting in front of my laptop screen during office hours making plans for the future in my mind and during some stupid work. I have 3 -4 plans for the future but somehow all seems good to me but I am not able to choose one and not able to go in any direction.
I also don’t like the work so much that I do. So It feels unusual to me to go the extra mile to management to ask for some work.
I feel I am wasting my precious time of life. What should I do?

Well tell me what plans for the future you have (if you feel comfy and whatnot) It would really help.
And it depends on how much you feel you’re wasting time in your life.

Before this ends, I just want to share a quote from Jeff Bezos: “If you enjoy 50% of your work… That’s like home base- thats the goal. very very very few people actually achieve that.”

Sorry for playing devils advocate here, it’s what I do

Sure, here is what I think about the future.

Change the company and/or the Job

Go for masters or higher education

Become a content creator

Do full time stock trading/investing

Hey. I can understand what you are going through as I have experienced the same. However, please know that fresher kinda jobs do treat you like that usually. I will suggest you to not sit idle and rather invest yourself into some online courses or something that you like to do. This time is really crutial. The more time you spend idle and confused, it will get harder for you later. The more you stay idle, you will get used to it.
I understand that it is confusing, it is difficult to choose one direction. There are so many options in front of us today. But let me tell you that there is no stop to the thinking. The thinking and planning can just keep going on and on. Just start. whatever it is, just make that first move in any direction. Atleast later you will not regret that I didn’t start earlier. Get on the journey of exploration. Keep exploring and dont wait for someone to assign you work. Do your own thing. Practice coding, make your own stuff, strengthen your skills, upskill and you can do so much more.
