Data Engineer Faces Dilemma After Resigning for Oracle Role
A data engineer in Chennai quit their job for a new role at Oracle.
The new job offered a bigger salary.
However, they are now worried because Oracle recently made some changes, like shortening the time they would have to work before leaving if they wanted to quit or were laid off.
The engineer is now unsure if they made the right choice, especially since they had a good relationship with their old company and the new role might be unstable.
They are considering if they can go back to their old job.
A data engineer resigned from their job at a Chennai consultancy for a role at Oracle.
The Oracle offer included a 35% salary increase.
The engineer previously declined a counteroffer from their current employer.
Recent news about Oracle's restructuring caused them to doubt their decision.
Oracle reduced the notice period to 30 days.
