Her story isn’t about money. It’s about how even the ‘safest’ jobs can quietly drain you. She worked 12-hour days, missed family events, and still felt like she was never enough. Her resignation letter? Just one line: “I need to breathe.” This isn’t rare. Thousands of young Indians in ‘prestigious’ govt jobs are quietly leaving; not for startups or abroad, but for peace. The real cost of job security? Sometimes, it’s your sanity. If you’re working yourself to the bone for a salary that’s supposed to ‘set you for life’, ask yourself: Is it really worth it? Your health. Your happiness. Your time. They’re not negotiable; even if the paycheque says otherwise.
