@whimsical > 'Cycling distance from job is the dream.'
Walking distance for me, but indeed, this has always been my case. I'd always try to find some apartment in walking distance of my place of employment.
OT: Very hard decision here. Shouting-wise, I'm w/ @whimsical, but given you've mentioned it as a con you seem to be bothered by that. The commute sounds terrible.
Technically, the best thing to do would be to find a new job, but you seem to be having problems w/ that.
Perhaps it would be best to weigh in all the pros && cons of staying. Are the cons really that bad, when stacked up next to the pros? Also, since you already gave the notice, if they allow for its retraction, it'll probably still look somewhat bad - they now know you're somewhat dissatisfied w/ the job. They'll also know that you probably haven't found anything better... -
...Another point to consider is should the worst come true - you exit the company while having no other job... how long can you stay afloat w/ the money you've managed to save up && how likely it is that you'll be able to find a new job within that timeframe, before the savings run dry.
If the likelihood of you running out of savings before you find another job is high, unfortunately having a crappy job w/ income beats having no job at all.
All of that is to say, that you have two bad options, one of which is bad due to the uncertainty of how things will turn out. As such, you should consider which of the two is less bad.
Updates on my current resignation situation: 55 days are over, 35 days remaining. i haven't got a single interview call(yes not even an hr call!?!) since I put open to work on linkedin. I am thinking of rescinding my resignation
Here are some points about my current org, help me decide:
1. Physical
+ 3days wfo, 34km away from home (the next silicon valley area is around 500km far, in another state)
- 2hrs of commute from home, no energy left after work time is over
2. Tech
+ We are using very latest tech in softwares, the leaders are pushing for us to learn AI as well.
- there aren't much people with in depth knowledge, its like enough monkeys with typewriters will produce a shakespeare somehow
3. People and culture:
+ People are very energetic, vocal and fast paced
+ Work is done under ever "improving"(changing) ruleset, with discipline and in a process oriented manner
+ I have been here for almost 3 years, so have a decent professional relationship with team
- rules are made and applied according to convenience. People playing good games seems to work around these rules
- unrealistic deadlines and over work
- Too much pressure to "outshine" and "go over and above" to even expect a basic appreciation
- non respctful, shouting culture, people are not really friends but rather playing the "survival of the fittest, loudest and most aggresive" game
4. Brand
+ Company's name is reputable, its known for rarely ever doing layoffs and people have a sense of security
+ My salary is decent, marketworthy for the role that I am in (SE1)
- with 5+ yoe, both my role and salary is not as per market standards (should be atleast SE2)
