What’s wrong with me? Sometimes I miss the long hours, the mind games played by partners & coworkers, and the constant lies from leadership. Am I a masochist or have Stockholm syndrome?😢😭

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
