BreakCareerPattern.com // I help people stuck in underpaid/stagnant jobs land their Dream Job

When I began my career I faced 24 straight interview rejections, which crushed my confidence. People around me blamed my attitude, and I ended up working part-time, wondering if this was my future.

Then I got a job in Amazon's customer support but felt stuck and uninspired. That changed when I met an Oxford MBA who landed multiple interviews within minutes and revealed his secret: Networking.

Inspired, I created a group of people to crack the code on job hunting. Soon, I secured offers from Google and American Express, landing my dream role at Amex with a 230% salary increase—all without an MBA.

✅ Today, I teach people (just like you!) how to use the same process to land their dream job even without the "right" experience on paper.

✨Now, I help others achieve similar results with my proven job search process, which has led thousands to jobs at top companies like Google, Amazon, PWC, Microsoft, IBM, General Electric, Bain & Company, American Express, Samsung, JP Morgan & more. 

My clients don’t just get offers—they enjoy:

•  💰 100% Average Salary Boost

"With his guidance, I not only gained confidence but also started receiving responses and interview opportunities from top companies. Thanks to the strategies and tactics I learned, I eventually landed a dream role in the banking sector—something I once thought was out of reach." - Prajuna

Work should make us feel seen, valued and heard. That is all that matters.

Finding a job is great.
Finding a company that genuinely values you is better.

A role can pay the bills.
A title can boost your résumé.

But neither guarantees that you’ll be respected, trusted, or allowed to be yourself at work.

Too many people spend years trying to earn their worth in environments that quietly benefit from them doubting it.

Here’s the truth most of us learn late: your self-worth isn’t something a company gives you. 
It’s inherent.

The right organisation doesn’t ask you to shrink your voice, edit your values, or perform a version of yourself just to belong.

It challenges you, yes but it also creates enough safety for you to show up as you are,
do your best work, and grow without feeling like you’re constantly on trial.

If you’ve ever felt successful on paper but unseen in reality,
this distinction matters more than salary bands or perks ever will.

The 7 Highly Effective Habits of Leaders. 
Super simple yet very few practice them. Here's why 🔽 


Empathy, ownership, empower others, relationships - we have all heard these.

But still not many are able to practice them.

The big reason is that we have not seen them in real life.

But that can start with you.

Leadership is about how you show up every day and how you help others rise.

If you want to lead, start practicing these 7 habits:

 1. Take ownership
↳ See a problem? Step up and solve it.
↳ Go beyond your job description and take initiative.

 2. Create impact
↳ Focus on work that moves the needle.
↳ Help your team and leaders succeed by driving real results.

 3. Foster strong relationships
↳ Leadership isn’t a solo sport. Build trust and collaboration.
↳ Be the person others can rely on, listen deeply, and uplift those around you.

 4. Make space for everyone
↳ Leadership means amplifying diverse voices, not just your own.
↳ Invite different perspectives and ensure everyone is heard.

 5. Empower others
↳ Great leaders don’t hoard knowledge—they share it freely.
↳ Support your colleagues, mentor those around you, and celebrate others’ wins.

 6. Lead with integrity
↳ Do the right thing, even when it’s hard.
↳ Stay committed, stay passionate, and show up fully.

 7. Embrace growth
↳ See change as a chance to learn, not something to fear.
↳ Seek feedback, adapt, and keep evolving.

You don’t need a title to be a leader.

You just need the courage to start.

Start leading today.

➕ Follow Utkarsh Narang for more insights on leadership, growth, and performance.

Over the years of coaching leaders and emerging executives, 
I keep seeing the same pattern. 

People walk out of meetings with brilliant thoughts 
still sitting quietly in their heads.

Later they say things like,
“I should have said something.”
“I didn’t want to sound stupid.”
“Maybe it wasn’t the right time.”
“What if people judged me?”

And that silence slowly turns into regret.

The mind tells stories. 
That others know more. 
That your perspective may not matter. 
That speaking up could make you look incapable or difficult.

But here is the reality.

Leadership is not built in the moments when everything feels comfortable.

It is built in the moments when you decide your voice deserves space in the room.

Here’s a simple three-step framework that works - 

Step 1. Ground yourself in intent.
Before speaking, ask yourself a simple question. Am I trying to prove myself right or am I trying to help the team think better? When your intent is contribution, your tone changes.

Step 2. Add perspective, not opposition.
You do not have to challenge people aggressively. A simple line works wonders. “May I offer another perspective?” or “Can I build on that idea?” It keeps the conversation open instead of defensive.

Step 3. Stay curious.
After sharing your thoughts, ask a question. “How are others seeing this?” Curiosity keeps dialogue alive and signals that you are here to think with the room, not win against it.

Most leaders do not need more confidence… they need the courage to honour their perspective.

So the next time you sit in a room and feel that familiar hesitation creeping in, remember this.

You were not hired to sit quietly and agree.

You were hired to make the thinking in the room better.

What helps you find the courage to speak up when it matters?

➕Follow Utkarsh Narang  for more thinking on growth, resilience, and building momentum over time.

Failure doesn’t block success.
It filters who’s serious about it.

Most people quit at discomfort.
A few stay long enough to be shaped by it.

That’s the difference.

“Go 10 miles while others go 1.”

That’s the advice.

And it sounds powerful. 

But here’s the part nobody talks about:

Most people don’t fail because they didn’t go 10 miles.

They fail because they went 10 miles in the wrong direction.

Hyper-focus is dangerous
if you’re focused on the wrong thing.

Relentless effort is expensive
if it’s applied without clarity.

In a world obsessed with hustle, we’ve confused:

🔁 Intensity with impact
⏱️ Hours with leverage
😓 Exhaustion with excellence

Yes, Alexandr Wang talks about overdoing it.

But what actually separates the top 1% isn’t just “more effort.”

It’s:

• Choosing the right problem
• Building rare skills
• Compounding daily consistency
• And knowing when to pivot

If you’re facing layoffs, uncertainty, or a career pivot right now…

Don’t just “go 10 miles.”

Ask yourself:

👉 Is this the right road?
👉 Is this building long-term leverage?
👉 Is this sustainable for 3–5 years?

Because extraordinary careers aren’t built on burnout.

They’re built on strategic obsession.

Go further.

But go wisely. 🧠

♻️If this challenged your thinking, repost it for someone who needs a smarter approach to growth.

➕And follow Utkarsh Narang for insights on long-term career leverage, not just short-term hustle.

In my first month as a physiotherapist, I earned ₹5,000. I genuinely wondered if I had wasted 6 years of my life.

Six years of study.
Internships.
Exams.
Late nights.

For this?

I left my clinic confused.

And my dad said something I’ll never forget.

He said, “Money grows. But don’t let money decide your worth.”

At 23, I didn’t fully understand it.

Today, I do.

Yes, I earn more now. Way more.

But my success is larger than my paycheck.

Success is:
• Waking up excited
• Working with people I respect
• Coaching someone into clarity
• Having dinner with my family without checking my phone
• Sleeping with peace

Money matters.

But if it becomes your only scoreboard, you will always feel behind.

If you want to build a life that feels successful, not just looks successful, let’s talk.

DM me COACH and I will send you a link to my clarity call.

Happiness is not supposed to feel good all the time.

That sounds wrong.

But it explains why so many successful people still feel stuck.

We’ve been sold a simple equation:

Less stress
More comfort
= Happiness

But that formula doesn’t work.

If feeling good all the time created happiness…

People with the easiest lives
would be the happiest.

They’re not.

Because there are two different things we confuse all the time:

Pleasure and Purpose

Pleasure is easy.

A raise.
A promotion.
A weekend off.
A dopamine hit.

It feels great.

Until the feeling fades.

Purpose is different.

Purpose survives bad weeks.
Failed projects.
Hard feedback.
Difficult conversations.

It doesn’t disappear when things get hard.

It often requires things to get hard.

This is where many careers go wrong.

People optimize for comfort instead of meaning.

But meaningful careers are rarely comfortable.

Some reminders I come back to often:

1️⃣ If your work never challenges you, it’s probably not growing you.
2️⃣ Short-term comfort often trades away long-term fulfillment.
3️⃣ The right problems make struggle feel worthwhile.
4️⃣ Progress feels better than pleasure.

So maybe the real career question isn’t:

“How do I make my life easier?”

It’s:

“What problem is worth struggling for?”

That answer changes everything.

The Biggest Career Myths!

Here’s the uncomfortable truth: 
Founders and employees are both slaves to their aspirations.

The founder burns out chasing freedom.
The employee burns out chasing security.
Different cages, same exhaustion.

Both tell themselves “it’ll make sense when I get there.”
But “there” keeps moving.

More targets. 
More funding. 
More promotions.
And slowly, we trade peace for progress 
one dopamine hit at a time.

We mistake motion for meaning.
We call stress “passion.”
We glorify the grind and forget the goal.

But look closer at the ones who made it.
Satya Nadella  
Sundar Pichai  
John Donahoe  
 
They didn’t chase titles. 
They reinvented identities.
They didn’t quit to find purpose.
They became purposeful where they were.

And then look at founders like Jensen Huang (NVIDIA), Whitney Wolfe (Bumble Inc.), Melanie Perkins (Canva)

They didn’t build companies, they built themselves first.
Their empires were a byproduct of clarity, conviction, and consistency.

You don’t need a new company, a new logo, or a new title.

You need a new operating system.
Because at some point, you stop working for a company
and start working on yourself.

So here’s the real play:
Think of yourself as a startup worth investing in.

Build your product - your skills.
Craft your pitch - your story.

And sell your value to the world.

You are the founder.
You are the product.
You are the investment.

Now, build like it matters.

You don’t need more motivation.

You need smaller habits.

Most people try to change their life in one big move.

Wake up at 5am. 
Gym daily. 
Read 20 pages. 
Eat clean.

It lasts… 3 days.

Then guilt. 
Then reset. 
Then repeat.

Here’s what actually works (from Atomic Habits):

• Make habits so easy you can’t fail (1 page > 0 pages)
• Build systems, not goals (what you do daily > what you want)
• Design your environment (remove friction, don’t rely on willpower)
• Stack habits (attach new habits to existing ones)
• Focus on identity (become the kind of person who shows up)

The shift is simple:

Stop trying to change your life overnight.
Start changing what you do every day.

Because success isn’t one big moment.

It’s small actions… repeated long enough.

💌 Save this for when you feel like “starting over.”

Atomic Habits in 5 minutes 

This line today stopped me mid-scroll:

“Today is the youngest you’ll ever be.”

Read that again.

Most people think the advantage belongs to people who started early.

It doesn’t.

The real advantage belongs to people who start before they feel ready.

The truth:

You will never feel fully prepared.

Not before launching the idea.
Not before switching careers.
Not before posting your first piece of content.
Not before starting something meaningful.

So people wait.

Another month.
Another year.
Another “when things settle down.”

And suddenly a decade passes.

Here’s what actually matters:
1️⃣	Start messy. Clarity comes from motion.
2️⃣	Stop over-optimizing the first step.
3️⃣	Momentum beats perfection every time.
4️⃣	The earlier you start, the longer compounding works for you.

Five years from now you’ll look back and think:

“I wish I started then.”

But the truth is simple.

Then… is today.

I turn 41 this year.

And here’s the uncomfortable truth:

Most of what stressed me out at 25
doesn’t even register now.

The “urgent” emails.
The race to be impressive.
The fear of being behind.
The need to say yes to everything.

None of it aged well.

What actually mattered?

Here are 9 things I wish I understood earlier 👇

1️⃣ Sleep is a performance strategy.
Not a luxury.
8 hours > 8 productivity hacks.

2️⃣ Movement fixes more than mindset.
A daily walk has solved problems
overthinking never could.

3️⃣ If you don’t choose your priorities,
your inbox will.

4️⃣ Your values are proven by what you refuse.
Not what you chase.

5️⃣ Boundaries feel selfish before they feel strong.
If saying “no” makes you anxious,
you’re rewiring something important.

6️⃣ Most people aren’t stuck because life is hard.
They’re stuck because distraction feels safer than action.

7️⃣ Learning can be productive.
But it can also be sophisticated procrastination.
Depth beats dabbling.

8️⃣ Fear and confidence both require belief in the unknown.
You’re choosing one either way.

9️⃣ Happiness isn’t having no problems.
It’s having better problems.

At 40, I don’t want an easy life.

I want a meaningful one.

And meaningful lives come with responsibility, discomfort, and growth.

If you’re in your 20s or 30s feeling behind:

You’re not behind.

You’re just early in the reps.

What feels urgent today probably won’t matter in 15 years.

But your health, your integrity, and your relationships will.

Protect those fiercely. 💛

Most of what feels urgent at 25 won’t even matter at 45.

If you dread Monday mornings, it's on you.

I know that sounds harsh. But hear me out.

Most people blame their job, their boss, their company culture, or the endless meetings on their calendar. Sometimes those things are genuinely broken. But more often than we admit, the deeper problem is something far more personal.

Inner misalignment.

When we don’t define our values, we end up drifting into environments that reward the exact opposite of who we are.

And that is exhausting.

You wake up on Monday morning already tired. Not because the work is hard, but because it asks you to be someone you are not.

You say you value honesty, but the culture rewards politics.

You say you value growth, but the organisation values stability.

You say you value people, but the system rewards only numbers.

Over time, that gap between who you are and how you are expected to behave becomes heavy. That is when work stops feeling meaningful and starts feeling like survival.

But here is the uncomfortable truth.

Alignment is not something organisations magically give you.

It starts with you.

When you are clear about your values, decisions become easier. The right environments feel energising. The wrong ones reveal themselves quickly.

And suddenly, Monday mornings feel different.

Not because the work became easier, but because the work became honest.

Leadership, careers, and even organisations become far more powerful when values are not just written on a wall but lived in everyday decisions.

So here is a simple question worth sitting with today.

Do you actually know the values that guide your life and work?

Or are you still discovering them the hard way every Monday morning?

Friends in Sydney, I need your help.

In 2 weeks, I’ll be speaking at the HRD Australia National HR Summit in Sydney (March 31) on a topic that has been on my mind “When Values Collapse Under Pressure — The Identity Gap in Leadership.”

I love being on a stage. It is nerve wrecking and exciting at the same time. It also has the potential to bring about a change in someone's life.

Every workshop I design is not just slides and frameworks... It’s stories, conversations, and moments that change how leaders see themselves. This one feels special. 

And I’d love to capture that moment.

So here’s my small ask to the Sydney community: If you’re a photographer or videographer, or know someone who is, who enjoys capturing live speaking moments, audience reactions, and real conversations, I’d love to connect and find a way to collaborate.

And if you are planning to come to the summit... I am the final workshop on Day 1. Come and say hi. Would love to meet.

This BAFTA win matters for a reason no one’s talking about.



A small regional film winning an international Award is easy to celebrate.

The headline writes itself.

But what stayed with me about the Manipuri- language, Indian feature, Boong, wasn’t just that it won.

It was what was said on that stage.

In a room built to celebrate achievement, the message wasn’t about scale or success.

It was about forgiveness.

That matters.

Because moments like this quietly reshape what we believe is possible.

When something rooted, specific, and deeply personal travels to a global stage, it does two things:

✅It expands representation.
✅And it expands imagination.

You start to question your own internal ceilings.

Maybe the work you’re building doesn’t need to look “mainstream.”
Maybe your background isn’t a limitation.
Maybe depth can travel further than polish.

And maybe strength doesn’t always look loud.

There’s something powerful about seeing recognition attached to humility.

About seeing visibility used to elevate something bigger than the self.

That kind of example doesn’t just inspire filmmakers.

It inspires anyone building something slowly.
Anyone working without immediate validation.
Anyone trying to stay grounded while aiming high.

Wins like this don’t just change industries.

They change belief.

And belief is where every long-term journey actually begins.

Most meetings don’t fail because of bad people.
They fail because of bad leadership.

If you walk into a meeting without intention,
you’re not leading it.
You’re just attending it.

Here’s a simple framework I use: LEAD

L - Limit the agenda
• One clear objective
• Fewer topics, deeper focus
• Share context before the meeting

If everything is important, nothing is.

E - Engage everyone
• Set expectations upfront
• Ask quieter voices first
• Use questions, not monologues

Engagement is designed. Not hoped for.

A - Align on actions
• Summarize decisions before closing
• Assign one owner per task
• Confirm deadlines out loud

If there’s no owner, there’s no outcome.

D - Drive accountability
• Send a 5-line action summary
• Set one check-in date
• Celebrate progress publicly

Great meetings don’t happen by accident.
They’re led with clarity.

“I wish I started earlier.”

That sentence quietly ruins more lives than failure ever will.

Read that again.

Not failure.
Not rejection.
Not layoffs.

Regret.

Most people don’t fail because they’re incapable.

They fail because they wait.

They wait to feel ready.
They wait to feel confident.
They wait for clarity.
They wait for permission.

Meanwhile…

Opportunity keeps moving. 🚆

If you’re:
• Thinking about changing careers
• Recovering from a layoff
• Sitting on an idea
• Fantasizing about a “better life”

Here’s the uncomfortable truth:

You don’t need more time.
You need more courage. ⚡️

The people ahead of you?

They were scared too.
They just moved anyway.

Confidence isn’t a prerequisite.
It’s a byproduct.

You don’t become confident and then act.

You act…
And confidence catches up.

A year from now you’ll either say:

“I’m glad I started.”

Or

“I wish I started earlier.”

One decision separates those two sentences.

Start messy.
Start unsure.
Start embarrassed.
Start small.

Just start. 🚀

Most people don’t need a new plan.

They need better questions.

Your next decade won’t be defined by one big decision.
It’ll be shaped by the small things you keep optimizing for.

Most careers drift because we never pause to ask:

• What am I actually building toward?
• What skill am I compounding?
• What am I tolerating that’s quietly draining me?
• What does “enough” even mean for me?

We obsess over productivity.
But rarely over direction.

And direction > speed.

I’ve seen incredibly smart people burn years chasing goals they never consciously chose.

7 questions that will define your next decade

Everyone tells you to never stop.

Push harder.
Stay consistent.
Outwork everyone.

But sometimes the real power move is stepping away.

At 16, Alysa Liu retired from competitive skating.

Most people thought it made no sense.

She was already a champion.
Already breaking records.
Already at the top.

Then she walked away.

Two years later she came back.

And at the 2026 Winter Olympics she won gold.

Here’s the lesson most people miss:

Burnout doesn’t mean you’re weak.
Sometimes it means you’ve been strong for too long.

The Alysa Liu mindset is simple:
1️⃣	Rest is not quitting.
It’s recovery for the next version of you.
2️⃣	Distance creates clarity.
When you step away, you remember why you started.
3️⃣	Pressure kills passion.
Joy is often what brings elite performance back.
4️⃣	Comebacks are built in silence.
Growth happens while the world thinks you disappeared.

In a culture obsessed with hustle…

The bravest thing you can do is pause.

Because sometimes the fastest way forward…

is taking a step back.

“Yet” might be the most underrated leadership tool.

Most people use language to limit themselves.

The best leaders use language to expand possibility.

Here’s why one small word matters:

It reframes failure
“I failed” → “I haven’t figured it out yet.”

It builds persistence
“This isn’t working” → “This isn’t working yet.”

It prevents premature quitting
Struggle becomes a phase, not a verdict.

It interrupts harsh self-talk
“I’m not good at this” → “I’m not good at this yet.”

It normalizes being a beginner
Mastery always starts with awkward reps.

It shifts your time horizon
Today is data. Not destiny.

It builds mental flexibility
Fixed becomes fluid.

A small shift in language.
A massive shift in trajectory.

This week, try this:

Notice one limiting sentence you say to yourself.
Add “yet” at the end.

That’s it.

Extraordinary outcomes often begin with an ordinary “yet.”

How do you take the journey from loneliness to solitude?


You can be surrounded by people…
and still feel lonely.

You can be completely alone…
and feel deeply at peace.

Solitude and loneliness are not the same.

Loneliness hurts.
Research shows chronic loneliness can impact your health as much as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

But solitude? Solitude strengthens you.

When chosen intentionally, time alone improves clarity, creativity, and emotional control. It helps you hear your own thoughts instead of everyone else’s noise.

When we moved countries, I experienced both.

At first, the quiet felt heavy. Then it became powerful.

I realised the difference was choice and meaning.

If you cannot sit alone with your thoughts, you will struggle to lead yourself well.

And if you avoid real connection, loneliness grows quietly.

If this resonates, take a few minutes and read it.

Alone is not the same as lonely.

One is a skill. The other is a signal.

Which one are you experiencing right now?
