A decisive 72% majority clicked "Job switch ka plan". Young professionals are realizing that waiting around for a corporate structure to notice your baseline value takes way too long. This proactive exit strategy directly mirrors the heavy career choices we explore inside The Exit Strategy Dilemma, where holding onto a stagnant desk is viewed as a major risk to your growth.
