A person was facing a toxic and tireless work culture. Out of desperation, he switched to a different organisation just offering the same salary.

Now, after joining and signing a 1 year bond he came into his senses and got a mixed feeling that the salary is still same and not matching as per market standards so again he became sad.

Now think he is your good friend, so what would you have advised him?
