I feel like based off my age and the fact I grew up in the US and went to college here I should be in a higher position. I am making inroads to get to a higher position, but it’s so tough being in my current position as it is very entry level.

LOL….thousands and thousands of other desis were born/raised in the U.S. and went on to get their Bachelors’s/masters/JD/MD/PhD etc. here. Let’s not even mention that you’re competing with white men.

If you feel that other Pakistani professionals you know who are the same age as your that are doing better…then look to see what they did different. Higher ranked college/impressive grades/great previous work experience/outside community activities that impresses most employers/aggressive networking……there are MANY things they could have done to make themselves more attractive to employers.

I have many demands-taking care of parents, buying a home, getting married, etc.?

Why do you have to buy a home? Something wrong with renting an apartment or a home until you feel more financially stable? I’m assuming you’re a guy so again….what’s your rush to get married if you don’t feel you make enough to support a wife/child….especially since your parents already depend on you.
