My gig for the last five and a half years was a bit of a career shift. Now I'm 48, and everybody tells me that I have to network to get my next role, but all of my contacts are in my old industry, and I don't really want to go back. I'm frustrated, and I don't really know what to do.

Hi fishes,

I just got an offer from Morgan Stanley. The offer is indeed handsome and provides other benefits as well. The problem is I just relocated to Pune for my wife's work, we have set up our house here and now if I accept offer I again have to relocate to Bangalore because they aren't offering WFH. What should I do? I know Morgan Stanley is a very reputed firm and might make an enormous impact in my technical growth, but is it worth taking the pain of relocation again?? I am confused.
