Should I accept the offer?

How's the current job market like according to you guys? More specifically in Bangalore. I recently got an offer from an upcoming digital commerce player. They're giving a 35% pay hike and the role is decent. I don't love it , I don't hate it either. My only issue is it's based out of Delhi, a city I'm not a big fan of. To give more context I've been born and raised in Delhi but I've been living away from home for 8 years now. It's a city thats familiar but comes with its down baggage. I find the people too aggressive and don't have much of a circle left there. Got laid off from the Bangalore startup I was working at some 3 months back. I have a decent runway but frankly it's not making too much sense to keep paying rent in Bangalore anymore. I keep oscillating between taking this offer and letting it go. Thoughts?

Worried about career and future ahead...

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 ?
