Young Engineer Says Panic Attacks at ‘Dream’ Bengaluru Job

An anonymous Reddit post highlights how a sudden move and full-time office onboarding can trigger acute anxiety even when pay and workplace perks seem favorable.

Overview

  • A Reddit post, which circulated Wednesday, says a 23-year-old who moved to Bengaluru for a dream job began having panic attacks and crying every 60 to 70 minutes at work.
  • She wrote that she moved to the city a week early and that the office is friendly and pays her double the package she asked for while giving mostly mandatory training rather than substantive tasks.
  • Readers on the thread overwhelmingly urged her to seek professional mental-health care and to consider taking sick leave instead of immediately resigning.
  • Hindustan Times, News18 and Times Now summarized the post on June 24 and all noted that the account is user-generated and has not been independently verified or updated with confirmed follow-up actions.
  • The episode spotlights pressures of early-career relocation and full-time onboarding and shows how social platforms are being used to seek urgent advice, a pattern that could push employers to strengthen mental-health support and clearer onboarding plans.
