Anxiousness in a new city

I have relocated to Tier 1 city after WFH for 4 years for working in hybrid mode I am becoming anxious thinking I am an outsider in the city and thinking will the city treat me well, will I survive in the workplace as I don't know local language and all that stuff.

Today my restlessness grew to a bad extent thinking all these how will I support my family if I am not able to help myself.

What should I do?

  1. Should I learn local language ...is my worry valid?
  2. Should I start looking for WFH options...are the companies providing WFH options?
  3. Should I move to NCR region?

Dude. Just stay there for a week, you'll figure out everything. It's just overwhelming now, it would get better....

  1. Not really required, but definitely helps
  2. Only if your current opportunity isn't fun for you
  3. Why?

NCR has good companies only there are less openings that's the problem if current company provides opportunity to move to NCR for working from there ...then there won't be such issues

You’ll get role in NCR but career progress will be very slow until you switch. As per my experience.

First and foremost, don’t think of yourself as an outsider. Try to mingle with the crowd. If you’re going to be living in that city and calling it your home, you are an insider. :)

My thinking does it matter enough bro?
It's always the secret gang in the team decides whether you are insider or outsider😴

It’s their loss for doing this. But the city usually won’t disappoint. It won’t be all welcoming from day one but you’ll be a part of it soon. 😇

Imagine, what would you do if you had to move to Germany! Do the same thing. You will survive anywhere you go. Stay in those places where more IT crowds are present. Try to learn local languages for simple words. In South India, most of them speaks English. So, you don’t need to worry!
