Advice needed

BTech in CS with 9+ cgpa, 3 years work ex in FAANG for a Salesforce developer role. I didn’t like Salesforce or development much. Left my job in 2025 and took a career break. Did some freelancing as well.
What are my options?

I’m thinking of writing GATE DA to get into AI/ML but a friend is telling me that’s not needed.
I’m trying to get into GTME role as well.
If anyone’s hiring do lemme know
