‘I did it. I quit my job’: Woman’s Decision to Quit UK Job Goes Viral, Internet Reacts

Many people move abroad for higher education or better job opportunities, seeking to enhance their quality of life. However, a woman recently shared on social media that, after much thought, she is choosing to return to India.

She shared on her social media handle X @ice cream anti, that she is moving back to her home country after quitting her job. Her decision caused a discussion on the internet, with some people supporting her and others questioning why she would make such a bold decision.

"Folks should I just come back to India forever; obviously I won't earn as much in India but at least I will be happy, truly happy and won't constantly miss my country," she said in April, alongside a poll. She added that she does not want to give up her Indian passport. "People are going to say I'm an idiot cause I am on a work visa for 5 years which gives me an easy way to get the UK PR and citizenship but at what cost lol I don't think I want to give up my Indian passport so what am I even doing here," she wrote.

On July 30, the woman posted another update and said that she quit her job and the decision to return back to India would change the course of her life. "I did it. I quit my job. I'm coming back to India. I acted on the decision that's going to change the course of my life and it genuinely took me a lot of guts. But I've done it," she said. The internet user said in the comments section that she "always wanted to settle in India and was away from family, therefore, very unhappy."

Since being shared, the post has crossed over two lakh views on the microblogging platform.

One social media user wrote, "New job is possible, growth is possible but getting citizenship opportunity has a big cost and that is Time from your life & being there when you can grab it!" Another added, "We will see in 3 years from now. You will regret your decision."

"Stupid decision," commented the third.

"It's better I did the same, it's better to build something here than to slave away in UK," said the fourth.
