Should i worry a lot

Shitposting

About me: Male 39 year old Earn around 3 lacs+ net per month (pure growth role but honestly not seeing growth either in the start up i work or career). I am currently living in an Indian metro.

Family: Father (Retired from central govt) & homemaker Mother All medical expenses fully covered and also receive pension. Based out of Tier-2 city in India

Wife: works as an educator & earns 45k/month Child: 4 years old & currently in primary school

I have been very disturbed of late not seeing growth in life (either money or profile), TBH all I know is pure sales with associated marketing, logistics etc & excellent people management 0 awareness of any tech, coding, analytics or AI

It’s not that I have not worked hard in life. I have good pedigree with both engineering & MBA degrees from top 20 colleges. But i dont know, these days, i feel very stuck in a toxic job, not able to move out as I think I dont know anything apart from core sales & people management. But i also need to be emotionally stable & strong in order to be there physically and mentally for my parents, wife & kid. I just dont know what to do, to continue doing this mundane good for nothing job or take a risk in life or learn something in parallel and move forward.

Monetary condition:

Have assets worth 8-9 cr at current prices (savings in MF, FDs, LIC, PPF etc plus generational real estate like land, house & flats) Already have a term insurance (3cr) and also have good family medical insurance (25 lacs/year).

I am a single child now (as I lost my own younger brother in 2022 to sudden illness)

I want to do something where I feel proud of myself. I am ready to work hard. Sometimes my family just tells me not to take stress and enjoy life but being a decent achiever all my life, I just dont feel like relaxing. My father & mother get very worried when they hear my voice and say not to worry at all and just leave everything and choose a relaxed life. They sometimes are even okay with me leaving the job or continuing in a relaxed role with relaxed work environment. I understand their mental situation as well as they are parents who lost one of their 2 sons and now only see life in their grandson (my son), my wife & me.

Please help! I shared my entire story from the depth of my heart not to show off but to seek genuine guidance as to how to move forward in life. I dont want to depend on inheritance.
