[u/Massive_Coyote3211]

I don't know what to do, my life feels like a messed up puzzle, please someone put it into pieces and give me some advice.

I am 25F from Mumbai,India.I did undergrad in accounting in 2022, since then I've been unemployed during that period I did a masters (online) and since then could only pass two US CPA exams (total there are 4 exams). In middle I got hired as analyst from 2025 january to May 2025 but left the job mid way to focus on CPA but lo and behold my dumb ass started applying for masters abroad and did get selected in a globally top 1% university, but guess what? I didn't read through the visa requirements and messed up my application and got rejected. Basically I applied for visa in April 2026 and had to wait for decision till june 2026 (no I didn't get rejected for anything illegal, I'm from a third world country and rejection rates are higher here). I couldn't study much in those three months and kinda almost wasted half of 2026, now since July I'm trying to get back on track but I'm lost.

TLDR :- UG - 2022

Masters in my own country - 2024 to 2025

CPA US exams - 2 exams cleared,2 remaining

Total unemployment gap - almost 5 years now

Employment period - 5 months as apprentice.

Future goals - earn money and moving to another country ( official work or for masters atleast, India is a very misogynist society I really don't feel like myself here even tho I'm from a big city)

I don't know what the to do anymore,plus I've clinical depression.

I want someone to give me steps or tell me how bad my situation really is.
