Can you imagine anyone actually choosing anxiety or depression? It's like your mind never gets a break, always buzzing with noise. If there was a way to choose not to have anxiety and depression, I’d do so in a heartbeat. What do you think about it all?

Exactly, I always wonder how anyone could think it’s a choice. It’s draining, and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone, let alone choose it for myself.

My dad talks like he thinks it's a choice for me. I don't think he knows that much about anxiety and depression.

ID 72978

I am currently in PwC, 14 months work ex in SAP, wanting to switch domain to analytics, versed in machine learning, deep learning using python.

Thanks in advance

Which one should I go for?

1. Oracle - 18.3 LPA fixed + probable bonus (I may or may not get)
2. Amadeus - 18 fixed + 1.5 variable.

Amadeus is also giving joining bonus of 75k. Amadeus is paying more, may give better hikes too, but I am finding it hard to let go off Oracle's brand name on my resume even if it's means around 2L less over an year. I am planning to work for atleast 3 years in my next company.

What would you have done in my place? Should I go for Oracle or Amadeus?

Sometimes I feel like the world works against me. I was put on corticosteroids for three years in a row during college, each time making me gain 10lbs after treatment.

I’m annoyed and angry because I hate my body and it contributes to 80% of my social anxiety

I'm feeling incredibly anxious and honestly depressed right now because of work. I had already been feeling demotivated and wanting to leave but I was told on Monday that I was being out on probation for one year (I am not going into detail on this).
