Poor Mental Health in Hyd

I am working as a senior product manager in a fintech startup. I am under a lot of stress due to work pressure, continuous badgering from business and tech stakeholders and loneliness. I always think of going home but staying in stressful job mainly because I don't want to be jobless. I can only post my views here anonymously because I don't want to be seen as loser. Request members if they can provide their suggestions. PS : As far as my profile is concerned it's B tech + MBA from tier 1 college and 3 years of tech experience followed by 7 yrs into Product Management and living alone in Bangalore.

Post your mental health issues. Peeps with good knowledge / experience in the subject, please suggest some pawssible solutions.

I am working remotely at a SaaS company for 4+ years now. I started working since my final year of engineering. I joined here as a software engineering intern when the product was really new and booming. I have gotten bored of my work now, especially since I have been working from home all the time. I have very little social life. And I am getting fixed salary of about $1400 each month. I am thinking of switching to any Indian startup because I am not happy with my job being so monotonous and less pay at this level of experience. What should be the approach to crack the interviews? I have done DSA practice during my college days, but didn't crack any interviews with it. I am a full stack web developer but it doesn't excite me anymore and I want to stick to backend roles. And is it possible to crack an interview with for 30-40 LPA at this stage? Or do I have to climb up a salary ladder for a couple of years?

Can someone help me on my dilemma and what should I do and follow ? My head is bursting out of tension, and I am just going mad being scared about my future. So I(23M) am currently working in a big product based company, and it's office is located in hyderabad. With the recent RTO push, I will have to move there soon. The thing is, I don't want to to move to hyderabad. Many reasons to it. Firstly, I know no body in the city, like have just one friend in that city, and office peeps. Living alone like this is what I'm afraid of (I've never lived away from home). Secondly, I am a pure vegetarian, and hyderabad smells non-veg from road to road. Cafe's restaurants, that stinking non-veg everywhere. Lastly, my parents will be left alone here at my hometown, and they'll not prefer moving with me coz they'll become even more alone in an unknown city. I am thinking to change my job and get to Bangalore, where I do have more friends and family, and Bangalore doesn't stink as well (non-veg is present in cafe's and restaurants everywhere, but it's way much bearable). The last problem still remains. An added problem here is the current economy and recession (I know India has lesser chance of recession, but IT companies are based out of US, so layoff risk continues). I also have a plan to go for higher education, in India itself. But moving away is still an issue, with an added financial burden, as there will be no one earning. And I really feel that getting that second degree is necessary. I am supeeerrrr stressed on what should I do, and with each passing day and I'm able to do nothing, it's just stressing me out so much. Anybody who faced similar situations ? What did you do and how did you cope with it ?

Is anyone from North Indian and West Bengal working here in south India? If yes, please comment in this post, how are you guys are managing with the language and people seriously. They don't even translate what they are speaking, when they want or if you ask they will just tell you in one sentence or topic. Even if they know english or very broken hindi. I am asking them to speak in hindi but at least in English they can communicate na? when you are attending client calls in English and dreaming to go onsite then why not communicate with us in English ? I started hating this state so suffocating. Just staying here because i have my family and leaving the state is just not an option. People should understand yaar.

Hi devs, I’ve recently joined Accenture as an ASE (this is my 1st job) with a package of 4.6LPA. While I was searching for rents , I felt very demotivated as getting rents in Bangalore is so costly as well as the commute. It made me feel like I came here for a very minimal salary job and it’s making me worried about myself , as if will I be able to survive here well enough without having any trouble financially. Apparently this is also making me want to work hard to grow my salary as quickly as possible and land a perfect job(if that exists). Possibly a permanent WFH job while I go back to my hometown. I want to know from all the seniors in our dev community as in how should I excel up in my career as quickly as possible. How I should manage my time and expenses and how should I get landed onto a dream job. Current tech stack - MERN ( highly proficient ) , Web sockets , AWS

Hello everyone, I hope you're doing well. I find myself in a challenging situation and could really use your advice and support. **Context:** I graduated in 2021 with a degree in electrical engineering from a decent college, but unfortunately, I didn't secure a placement. Since then, I've been struggling to find my path and ended up taking random jobs, leading to a significant gap in my career of almost 2 to 3 years. Alongside my career struggles, I've been battling with depression and anxiety, which have been exacerbated by the lack of support from family and friends. Despite seeking help from therapists and doctors, I haven't seen much improvement. Additionally, I attempted the GATE exam without success, as I lack passion and feel limited options are available. **Request:** I'm feeling lost and fearful about my future, especially considering my physical and mental health issues. My confidence has taken a hit due to repeated failures, and I find myself fearing everything. I'm reaching out to this community in the hope of finding guidance, support, and perhaps some practical advice on how to regain my confidence and overcome these fears. **Additional Request:** If anyone has faced similar challenges or has insights on how to rebuild confidence after setbacks, I would greatly appreciate your input. Any insights, personal experiences, or suggestions you can offer would be immensely appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for any help you can provide. Warm regards
