Man quits Rs 33 lakh job over burnout, takes Rs 4 lakh cut for WFH

The Story in Brief

A man left his Rs 33 lakh annual job without a backup, citing months of rising workload and late nights that cut into family time. The long notice period and lack of interview prep time pushed him to resign, bazaar.businesstoday.in reports.

After a five-day break, he faced rejections from three companies before landing a fourth offer: Rs 29 lakh with work-from-home flexibility and minimal office visits. He accepted the Rs 4 lakh pay cut, prioritising work-life balance over salary.
