Viral Reddit Post: High salaries don’t always guarantee happiness. A software engineer, reportedly earning Rs 30 LPA with just over a year of experience, opened up on social media about his struggles with mental health caused by extreme work pressure and a toxic office environment. According to the viral post, the overworked employee is dealing with “frequent headaches, mental breakdowns, and constant burnout” despite his short stint in the corporate world. He revealed that his office has no proper Work From Home policy, employees often have to work during festivals, and even sick leaves are not fully supported by management.

All of this has left him questioning whether the high-paying role is truly worth the personal cost. Turning to the internet for guidance, the techie shared that he wants to quit but fears the uncertain job market. Leaving a well-paying job without a backup offer seems risky, and he worries about failing to secure another opportunity in time.

The post, shared on Reddit by the handle VDtheking, went viral in just two days, drawing attention from thousands of netizens. Many found his situation relatable, while others urged him to prioritise his mental health over salary.

"If you want high high-paying job, your only option is to move out of Delhi/NCR. You will get plenty of good opportunities in Bangalore for the same role. Although your package is quite high for 1 year of experience. I heard Kotak Bank pays the same in Gurgaon for software engineers. Check once," a user wrote. "Opt for an equal or lower package company where you'll learn more. ( Hoping you don't have any major debt or other responsibilities)" A second user wrote.

"Try to contact people on LinkedIn and ask for a referral. Or just ask some friends for a referral pr the contact number of hr. Or you can go to job consultancy firms," added the third user. "I would suggest leaving asap and taking a break, and restarting. By that time market may get better. At least you would have a break and recharge. This is horrible," added another user.
