Man quits job in just 9 days cites stability as main reason Reddit post goes viral

A Reddit user recently shared their decision to resign from a remote DevOps position just nine days after starting the job. The post, made in the ‘r/DevelopersIndia’ subreddit, recounted the user’s journey through unemployment lasting four months before securing a role at a small startup. Despite initial relief, the user received an offer from a multinational corporation (MNC) — a UK-based bank — which included a higher salary and better work-life balance.

Friends and mentors from major tech companies advised the user to accept the offer, citing long-term benefits such as stability and growth opportunities. After careful consideration, the user decided to resign from the startup role, acknowledging the difficulty of leaving after just a short period. They encouraged others experiencing job struggles to persevere, noting that opportunities can arise unexpectedly.
