After spending six years in Canada and building a career at Deloitte, Preeti Bisnik has decided to leave her job and return to India. Her decision is not driven by a lack of opportunities or a job loss. Instead, she says she wants to spend more time with her ageing parents, improve her own health and take a break from her corporate career. In an Instagram video posted on September 22, Preeti explained that she had resigned from her job and was preparing to return to India. She also clarified that she was not laid off and that her manager had offered her the option of taking some time off before potentially returning to the company. For Preeti, however, the decision was about priorities rather than employment.
