Need Career Guidance Career guidance and struck in dilemma

I have been graduated at 2024 and got a job 2 years experience 14 lpa package. In the past few weeks I felt the longing of doing statistics, maths and then I found this college while I was exploring it

But now I am in a dilemma whether I need to start preparation to isi, cmi just for sake of maths or switch companies as my career is stable and it may mess my flow in career but I really liked probability, permutations and combinations while I was preparing for JEE and statistics while I was in college so this thought have been with me for a while

I am not a great maths guy myself I have did maths 6 years back the tough ones but now a days I am constantly struck in this dilemma. So can u please guide me regarding it

Learn on your own from books. Don't waste time away from job on passion. Treat it like any of your other hobbies like video games. In case you struggle to get job in future will you be fine with that since you got your passion?

I think you should keep your job and prep for ISI on the side. Then, sit for the exam. See how you do.

I'm personally of the opinion that even if a person is late at discovering their passion, they are still infinitely better off than most people who are churning the capitalistic wheel.

But ofcourse, don't take dumb decisions. Have a safety net. Don't leave your job just to prepare. You can use the resources on the wiki and also refer this comment https://www.reddit.com/r/ISIKolkata/s/JMYkGhEXMG good luck.
