I’m considering taking short-term leave, for the sake of my mental wellbeing and to just reevaluate what I want to do with my career. Do I have to get a doctor’s note?

Yes, a doctors note will help support your need for short term disability due to a mental health illness/diagnosis. Your short term disability benefit provider will ask for that. I would ask your doctor, and your HR about how short term disability works. You don’t need to disclose any health information to your HR when asking to keep it private (better to not disclose anyways)

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?

Hey all! I have an interview with

Is it the case here?
Thanks!
