Quit and started a new job 2 months after coming back. Not sure what happened, but I realized my boss and colleagues were assholes who didn’t have sympathy for someone with a newborn (baby was 2 mos when I came back)

Came back in February 2018. Quit that August. Regrouped. Got my emotions together and in todays self care language, “focused on myself.” Switched areas of law and took a reduced time job in December 2018. Never looked back 💗

Found a most enlightening work on decolonial history with tons of TIL moments especially about Anti Colonial movements in Egypt, China, Japan and course India in the 19th and 20th centuries. Most histories this period often adopt a Euro-centric lens but this book flips it and tells the stories of these turbulent times from the vantage point of the pioneering Asian leaders like Tagore, Al Afghani, Kang Youwei etc. Lovers of Asian history would surely appreciate this book

Another thing is I was an immediate joiner as I had left my previous organisation 3 months ago so I couldn't wait to think about this offer.

But now I think it's low, what do you think please let me know and suggest.
