Professionals Reflect on Leaving or Staying in Corporate and Government JobsPreviousNext

Several professionals have shared their experiences and dilemmas about leaving or staying in corporate jobs. A former employee reflected on how ambitions often shrink after years in corporate roles, focusing more on promotions and leaves. Another woman left her corporate career in Bengaluru to run a café in the Himalayas seeking personal fulfillment. Meanwhile, a Haryana man quit a 19 LPA government job citing limited infrastructure and growth, and another professional debated switching from an 18 LPA corporate role to a lower-paying but stable government job, sparking varied opinions on career priorities and work-life balance.
