Career Advice

Hello,
6 months ago, I switched from my previous job to my current one with a 40% salary hike. At that time, it seemed like a great opportunity, but now, I am seriously considering my decision.
My previous job had,
1. A European MNC team with excellent support and work culture
2. Good Time for my family & personal life
3. Flexible timing & permanent work-from-home
4. 5 days working with proper work-life balance

Now, in my current Indian company:
1. 12-hour workdays, with additional work on Saturdays (despite a 5-day work policy)
2. No proper training
3. Toxic work culture, where I get scolded daily due to a lack of training
4. Hardly any time for my kids and parents
5. Started my health issues

My previous company is willing to take me back with a 10% hike on my last salary. Given the work-life balance, supportive environment, and long-term growth prospects I had there, I am thinking of returning.
*It is not going to impact on my monthly expenses.*
Would you recommend going back?

Career Growth

I’m currently working as an Azure Data Engineer with 6 years of experience in India. While I enjoy my role, I am actively exploring onsite opportunities in any country to enhance my career growth, financial stability, and global exposure.

I would love to hear from professionals who have successfully transitioned from India to onsite roles or who are in this process. How did you navigate the process? Which countries are actively hiring? What strategies worked for you—internal transfers, direct applications, or consulting firms?

Day to Day Office

I’ve developed feelings for a coworker over the past few months and thought things were mutual, but now I'm unsure. We talk all day at work, text and message on Instagram after hours, and even on weekends. He bought me a wallet I’ve been eyeing to celebrate my promotion and brings me candy often.

He walks me to my car, even though he parks far away, holds doors for me, and once opened the passenger door when we carpooled.

Despite all this, he refers to me as his "favorite colleague" and sends coworker memes. I’m confused - does he see me as more than a coworker? 
I’m hesitant to ask directly since we work together.😅

Is this normal coworker behavior?

Sure, you have people around, flatmates, coworkers, friends....and family is just a call away. But still, it can get incredibly quiet, and sometimes the noise inside your head becomes overwhelming.

How do you cope with that?

P.S. I live with family now, so there's always some drama going on....But I’ve lived alone before, so I know what it feels like.

Also, I’m not sure if this is what loneliness feels like, or if it’s something closer to depression?

For those who live alone, how do you handle the silence?
