A LinkedIn post about the emotional side of moving away from home for work has resonated with many professionals online. The post highlighted how living in a new city may bring independence and career opportunities, but it also comes with the pain of staying away from family.
The post was shared by LinkedIn user Esha Malhotra, who spoke about the emotional struggles that people often do not discuss while building careers in IT cities.
Missing Family Despite Career Growth
Esha said that while life in an IT city offers several benefits and freedom, many people silently miss the comfort of being with their families. She explained that after moving away for work, simple moments such as receiving a hug from one's mother, talking to one's father about the day, or spending time with siblings become deeply missed.
