To combat my situation I have following:
Plan A : Continue with MNC nd try to get 5-6 hrs daily for studies. - --schedule is hectic, job is less secure, 4-5 hrs min daily can be manageable
Plan B : Target for SBI PO (more secure job)..then try to get time there for studies during training period. -- not sure if in this will I get 7-8 hrs for me after work.
Plan C : Join the TA job in Gujarat, then continue for preparation there only.--- could be a downfall from my current career as an Soft Engineer..nd also wht if no success in UPSC later as results are not in my hands...

Please note that I have already used my first attempt , and three attempt left including this May Prelims xams ( average preparation done till now for this attempt), age is being 27+ yrs.
Kindly suggest the best path to take with analysed manner as I am not in condition to leave the job.
Thanks and gratefulness in advance

Presently working in an MNC with 30k in hand sal, Bangalore.

Got a selection as SSC - Tax Assistant CBEC , Gujarat (govnt job, in hand 20K sal) - taken this exam in a hope to get a plateform in which I can get time with a secure kind of job -- but got almost among the last posts, not the grade B :(

Eager to prepare for UPSC Civil Services.

Also SBI PO xam is ahead.
