A Gurgaon-based professional left an Rs 18 LPA IT job fearing AI-driven layoffs and took an Rs 10 LPA public-sector bank role in Chandigarh for greater stability. According to financial content creator Amit Arora, his friend now regrets the move after a year, citing lower pay, frustrating work culture and bureaucracy. Returning to IT could mean better earnings but also performance pressure, longer hours and renewed layoff concerns.
