Every profession has its bright and dark side. And we have discussed important points in this video :

2. Should we switch jobs to get higher packages or stick at one place?
3. Shoud we do Work From Home or Work From Office?
4. Should we go international for higher packages or stay in India? How to handle peer pressure?
5. What If I Am not enjoying work at current company?
6. Lesson for all software engineers.
Striver, as we all know is currently a Software Engineer at Google and has previous experience of working at companies like Amazon, Directi. He also has a strong community named - TakeUForward. (takeuforward.org/)

[@iamnoob7593]

Work from home is best if team is toxic or teammates are lazy/no aptitude for coding. otherwise teammates will keep bugging the smart person to teach even simple concepts. and of course can cook food by ourselves , more mental peace for sure. Work from office ensures disciple in a way , social life if people are good around in office and smart people for growth , and good project is there then work from office is worth it. but unfortunately manager/teammates are toxic/dumb and irritating , then work from office is just a loss of mental peace and time if project is mediocre.
