I ended it at a point where I was waiting.

Waiting for one final update.
Waiting for a decision that could change everything.

That wait was not easy.

Every day, I kept checking my phone. Replaying the interview in my head. Thinking about what I could have said better. At this point, I already had two offers (~14 LPA), but this one felt different it was the role I genuinely wanted, in a company I really hoped to get into.

I got the call.

They approved the third position.

I was selected.

For a moment, it didn’t even feel real. After everything quitting my job, sitting alone at home, dealing with a breakup, doubting myself every single night this felt like things finally falling into place.

But it didn’t stop there.

That message felt different.

It wasn’t uncertainty anymore.
It wasn’t “waiting” anymore.

It was real.
Looking back, this entire journey wasn’t smooth or planned.

It was messy.
Full of second guesses.
Full of moments where quitting felt like the easier option.
