Do you have any regrets?

It can be anything related to not doing something you always wanted to but never did, a mistake you realize you shouldn’t have made, or feelings of not being successful enough. Feel free to share your thoughts.

Not studying hard enough to get education from a good college and Marriage 🤐

That’s fine. Not the end of the world. You can always make up by working hard in your job and in a few switches you should be good. :)

Failed to spend enough time with my parents. Life moves really fast. If you're around your parents take care of them, spend time with them and if you're away then make sure you visit them often ☮️

Thanks for the reminder, I'm visiting once a month and I'm annoyed with the fact that I don't spend much time with them.

I still regret the day I accepted Accenture's offer letter.

Tell us more about it, I have offer from Accenture, currently working in TCS

I am telling as a fresher. Like, they give the training on random domains whether you like it or not. If someone wants to pursue their career in web and android then the last option is to resign. They will train everyone in different domains of Accenture's choice.

Worst experience. I want to make my career in web dev, now I am working on a SAP based project. Depressed all the time.

Boss was a total creep, always making comments, 'accidentally' touching. Kept quiet 'cause I was scared of losing my job. Now? He got promoted, and I'm still stuck working under him. The sight of him makes me sick. Hate myself every day for not speaking up.

The worst part? He's still doing it to other women, and they look at me like, 'Why didn't you warn us?' The guilt is unbearable. Sometimes I draft resignation emails, but never send them. Too afraid to start over in this economy. Feels like I'm betraying myself and every other woman here every day I stay silent. Don't know how much longer I can take this.

Wish I could go back and find the courage to stand up to him. Maybe then I could look at myself in the mirror without feeling disgusted.

Damn, wasn’t expecting to be sharing this with folks anywhere - feels good to let this out

I really am thankful for the experiences that made me who I am today, but one thing I really can't seem to stop doing is being too nice to everyone and assuming the best in people.

That is an ongoing regret, if it makes sense.

Not regret as such but the only thing I think I would have loved in life is to be loved by a proper caring partner without all the drama. Today I think its almost impossible to find a partner that can just live normally and love and care.
I did have a relationship but the drama and all (which was over BS things in hindsight) almost landed me in the hospital.
