As part of a recent Poocho study aimed at Unpacking the Great Resignation, I spoke to professionals who switched jobs during the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. The interviews focussed on understanding their motivations and considerations for a job change, challenges they faced, and expectations and experiences at their new job. One such was Suyash*, a corporate banker-turned-cafe owner-turned-cooperative banker, whose journey from entrepreneurship back to banking brought out some very interesting and honest perspectives on the ideas of work and pursuing one’s passions, especially that one elusive idea – work-life balance.
