Hello Fishes,
I have dropped my resignation(in @Dassault Systemes) due to the unavoidable reasons(Bad management and poor working environment).

currently I don't have any offers in hand but I just can't work here due to the above mentioned points. We(myself & 2 more) have taken this step due to the fact that we need some peace in our life.

myskill sets - JavaScript, Reactjs(Redux), Vuejs, Nodejs, MongoDB(a bit) and AWS(certified practitioner).

Have we taken the right step?
