Don’t Leave a Job in Rage or Anger: A Lesson from Experience Let me share a story that reinforced the importance of staying composed and thoughtful when making career decisions. Yesterday, I was returning from an influencer marketing shoot in Chandipur with one of our senior chefs, Bikash Da. During the journey, he shared a personal story that left me thinking deeply about career decisions. Years ago, Bikash Da and his best friend (now our GM) were working together and had become close friends. However, one day, both of them left their jobs in a fit of anger, without having any backup plans. What followed was months of struggle. They would pack lunch from home every day, head to Dharmatala in Kolkata, and search for jobs tirelessly. They kept this hidden from their families, pretending to be employed. This went on for six months, and when their families eventually found out, they had already been unemployed for nearly 8-9 months. This story taught me a powerful lesson: never make impulsive career decisions out of anger or frustration. Most of the time, decisions made in rage lead to regret. Instead, take time to evaluate your options, have a plan in place, and move forward thoughtfully. Remember, leaving your job without a safety net can lead to unnecessary stress and hardship. Patience and clarity can save you from making decisions you’ll regret later. What’s your take on this? Have you or someone you know experienced something similar?

𝗔 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗔𝗴𝗼, 𝗜 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗮 𝗕𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝘆 𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆. This time last year, I resigned from my previous company with no job in hand and returned to my hometown, Kolkata. There were multiple reasons why I left the company but the major reason was the lack of respect and comfort at the workplace. (better let’s not debate on this) Without any job in hand, I started losing hope—not because I doubted my ability to find any job, but I wondered if I could ever find a job that matched my aspirations. With just 3-4 months of relevant experience, I kept asking myself: 𝘞𝘩𝘰 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘯 𝘮𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘸? 𝘞𝘩𝘰 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘴 𝘐’𝘷𝘦 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘦𝘥? 𝘞𝘩𝘰 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘰𝘺𝘦𝘦'𝘴 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦? Days and nights were the same for me. I kept on applying for multiple jobs, asking for references to unknown people and updating my skills in all possible ways. With all the hard efforts, within 2 months I bagged 3 job offers!!! Today I am glad of taking the bold step and moving out of such a work environment. It reassures me of my 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘩 and 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯. To all the people who battle similar issues at the workplace- 𝘕𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘪𝘵, 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘰𝘳 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥- 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘮 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘦.

Your Network is your Networth. Every CMS student has heard this phrase. Three years of college, and it’s practically etched into our DNA. Cut to today—I was traveling to Kolkata, lounge access maxed out (obviously), munching on a Zinger burger. A few tables away, a guy dropped his chicken popcorn. Enter the hero at the next table, who generously offered some of his. Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Turns out, the clumsy popcorn guy works at Asscenter(can’t use the name), and Mr. Generosity is from Reliablence(you know what I mean). In under ten minutes, they’d connected, and the topic somehow escalated to openings at Asscenter for Admin roles, to setting a date for an interview as the dude from Reliabalence was looking for a job change. All over spilled chicken popcorn. Sometimes, networking isn’t about fancy events or LinkedIn DMs—it’s about being open to conversations, even in unexpected places. You never know who’s sitting at the next table, holding the key to your next opportunity. Or, in this case, your next job. #NetworkingTips #CareerMoves #FromPopcornToJobs #CorporateStories #Opportunities #ThinkBeyondLinkedIn #ProfessionalNetworking #UnexpectedWins #CareerOpportunities #StayOpen #CareerGrowth
