I intend to continue with my education and as such, banks are not willing to finance my bond which would effectively leave me with no further source of income. My pay scale is non-negotiable and my first review for appraisal would be at the end of 2017. I tried finding alternate job opportunities but my particular set of skills does not have a requirement in the current Indian industry as of now, but I am still looki…
Do you have "free" time after work? If you have a decent programming foundation, I'd look into Android programming or other reasonably-paying skillset that you could use after hours. One of my classmates started doing Android apps, the first year she ended up earning close to U$ 600/month extra, but now she makes U$ 2000/month extra, for 20 hours of work each week or so. (I'm in Uruguay, U$ 2000 monthly is more than…

Before doing that, read the paperwork carefully. It may have the standard clause "All your work are belong to us". So the side project you do in your free time is also property of the agency even if it's only tangentially related to your work there. Perhaps you may get an exception to contribute to a big open source project. You will not get money, but you will get more experience and things to put in your CV.

#25Get an entry level job in that skill, most entry level jobs pay as much as what you currently make.
Once you have an entry level job offer, get a personal bank loan, pay off your bond. SBI, HDFC, ICICI or whoever you bank with. Just google for "personal bank loan india".
Once you have 6 months experience, you can move on to a senior level job, paying a lakh+ per month. This will save you at least Rs.60,000 per month to pay off the loan.
Of course, you don't have to pay off the bond. Just start working for another company, find a cheap lawyer (they are a dime a dozen) and make your case if they go after your surety. This will definitely take years and you can pay off the bond leisurely. This may turn out cheaper than paying interest (maybe 13%) on a personal loan.

#27What kind of technologies excites you? Which city are you in? If it's something like Banglore/Delhi, I would suggest going to some tech meetups and explore what people are doing and which technologies are in demand in your city.
I would suggest you to start freelancing, but pick the technology that really excites you.
Considering that you would be working full time at the same time, that's really important.
