I am Arif Rahman, a banker. The pressure of corporate life is destroying my personal life, time and peace of mind, but I cannot decide to quit my job.
Solution:
Dear Arif,
Your feelings are very natural. Corporate life gives us financial security, but often it comes at the cost of our peace of mind. The mess you are in now was not created in a day, so the solution will take time to think about.
1. Do you really want to quit your job, or do you just need a break?
Many times we think about quitting our jobs, but what we really need is a break.
- Are you working too much overtime every day?
- Don't you take regular vacations?
- Are you taking your office work home with you?
If the answer is "yes ," then perhaps it's more important to find work-life balance than to quit your job.
2. How is your financial preparation before leaving your job?
Leaving a job out of emotion can lead to financial stress and even more depression.
- If you quit your job, do you have enough savings to cover at least 6 months of expenses?
- Do you have a clear plan for your new career?
Think about it: Is being released from a job really freedom? If you can find a new way, that will be better in the long run.
3. Can you think of an alternative career?
Many people go from banking to freelancing, business, or other professions. Are you interested in something else? You can gradually move towards that.
4. How can stress be reduced in the current job?
- Make time for yourself outside the office.
- Learn to say "no"—not everything is your responsibility.
- Take a vacation, rest your body and mind.
- Do something outside of the office that brings you joy—a hobby or passion.
5. Not everything can be answered in one day.
If you really want to quit your job, prepare for it step by step. And if you just want to relieve stress, try to find balance.
You can do it, just be patient.
