Health Vs Job Market Conundrum - Mumbai

Hi Peeps, I had resigned from my position earlier in April, and was undergoing some me time to recover from Lung Infection (Severe Allergic Bronchitis) due to where I lived in Mumbai. Gave up smoking, drinking, partying and went into deep recovery mode at home.

I had been looking for jobs but hardly was able to land a few interviews after 2000+ applications everywhere.

My previous organisation was super-cuntish where there was no health insurance(I was tricked), benefits or employee centrism. I lost literal paychecks because I was sick from the place I was living in and the lack of nutrition and selfcare. My next joining company does not have health insurance since it is a start-up. I just feel very pessimistic at this point of time

I have a DOJ for next week but I still extremely ill and feel like I'll die if I go back to Mumbai. I feel super stressed out. Mentally and physically. Parents are kinda pissed off since I am now a liability with my lung issue.

Should I stay jobless for a while and recover , or GTFO back to the grind of the market.

Every day I feel I might not live long enough to see the end of decade.

Take your health seriously. You need to live first to work.
Even few years career break is okay if it's related to severe health issues.
