Hey you should put your mental wellness first. As a last step, try to look for other projects or even outside of your current employer.

For starters, you should also try to talk directly to the Manager and let them know how you feel before taking any decisions because toxic Managers are everywhere and you should be able to speak and look out for yourself without having to worry about promotion/hikes/recognition etc.

Most toxic Managers backoff when they know they are dealing with someone who can react. My general opinion on us Indians is that we try to sweep everything under the rug without speaking up making things worse for everyone. Speak up using the best business language possible!

Quit, don’t take stress. You will find a job today or tomorrow. Even I faced similar things in a big4, actively looking out now.

I am asking you which team/service line you got offer from. I am already working in EY.

I am also switching due to toxic environment and work fatigue.
The only perk of big 4 is that they allow u to switch to another project easily. The process will take 1-2 months.
Clearly explain your management that this project is not in alignment to your aspirations and you're looking for other opportunities.

Trying to understand why you are feeling toxic...trust me toxic managers are there everywhere and there are some managers who are exceptionally good. Help us understand why you are calling him toxic manager. Is he harrassing you ? Or making you work for long hrs ? Asking to work all five days from office ? Not approving leaves ?

Talk to your HR, Try for IJP if you are eligible

Any suggestions how you built trust w your partner? I’m aware that much of it comes from within, or personal insecurities, which I’m trying to figure out how to address too
