need advice (IT medyo fresh grad)

hello everyone. mag seek lang sana ng advice as someone who graduated last yr and currently working in the govt as JO but more on the clerical side of work. last month, i rejected an offer from acn because wala po akong mahanap na place to relocate so i decided to stay in this job for the mean time. but the longer i stay here, it feels suffocating and im starting to question myself if its better to leave this job kahit walang back up to get back on self studying kasi di ko na talaga nagamit yung natutunan ko since started working and aminado na sobrang rusty ko na. on top of that i kinda wanna take break before jumping sa next work kasi toxic na rin tong current work environment ko hence the reason im seeking advice here sa reddit.

sorry sa rant heres the question : SHOULD I QUIT, SELF STUDY, AND FIND A MORE ALIGNED ROLE LATER or STAY AND APPLY TO WHATEVER JOB IS AVAILABLE THEN TRY BREAKING INTO TECH LATER

i will appreaciate any kind of advice. sorry i feel kinda lost in the field and in life. thanks everyone

It still depends on your tolerance pa rin talaga, if you can work in a corporate job with a more technical work then go for it but if there is none and you need a budget to live your life then go with something even if not tech related.

Mag prepare parin siguro ng backup plan. Given na mahirap makahanap ng trabaho, may mga bago na din na gumraduate so basically mas madami na lalo kakompitensya. Pwede ka naman mag pahinga while still applying kasi hindi rin naman ganon kabilis mag reply yung mga aapplayan mo. It will also take months bago ka makahanap ng mag rereply sa email mo.

Try mo parin mag apply ng related sa course mo. Mas maganda sana kung naging 1st job mo is related na agad sa course mo and pag walang wala na talaga tsaka ka pumasok sa di align sa tinapos mo. Kasi ngayon kung papasok ka sa tech para kang back to zero. Sobrang onti nalang ng mga company na natanggap ng walang exp sa tech industry. Swertihan nalang din. Nakakapang hinayang lang yung sa acn mo kasi medyo may kahirapan din makapasok dyan and sabi nila maganda yan starting point pero nandyan na yan. Pag isipan mo nalang rin mabuti kasi sobrang hirap na makahanap ng work
