A Gurgaon woman named Akriti has challenged the popular social media trend that promotes quitting corporate jobs for entrepreneurship or side hustles. Drawing from her five years in the corporate sector, she emphasized that a 9-to-5 job can provide financial stability, support during emergencies, and opportunities for travel and family time. Akriti urged respect for different career choices, stating that no path should be demeaned, as each suits individual needs and circumstances.
