Hey Guys,
Hope you are safe and doing well in this pandemic era.


So yesterday, I met one of my friend (age 30), lets call him Yash. He is an IT engineer working with a good MNC company, earning around 2 lac per annum. He has wife who has a government job and due to this, he has to keep shuffling between his office job place and wife's work place. 
Recently, they had a cute baby as well, so now he has to give more time to wife and live along with her.


On the office end, he is somewhat bored with work, doesn't find zeal to attend office. It is due to the routine work and not getting new work opportunities. However current organization is very good in terms of work life balance. He has been doing work from home almost since 2017 and thus was able to manage to spend time with family and wife.

Recently he got job offers from some other company, offering more money, however there are less chances of Work from home and work flexibility options might get jeopardized. 
In current company, he doesn't see much growth in career. He is seeing all his peers progressing in their career and doesn't want to be left behind in race. Issue is, he lost his father when he was 12 years old and thus has the responsibilities of mother as well. Due to this, He left several other offers in past to move abroad, as he did not want to leave his mother behind.
He really seemed confused as what to do. Should he continue with current job and focus on family, or should he opt for new job, which will provide better financial security to his family, and better work satisfaction?

He does not want her wife to quit her job, because she wants to work, and also even if his wife earns quite less than him, Government job has much more job security than private one. He doesn't want to miss enjoying the childhood of his baby.

I really didn't have any good answers to this as both options have it's own pros and cons.

So what do you think?  Please comment and let me know. Perhaps it will help him in deciding. 

And yes, I have taken his permission to write this post with condition not to reveal his name.

So please go ahead and post your suggestions.

Balance is the answer. He should take up the job, after a while takes his family too with him.
