Women are more resilient to work stress and burnout

The work-life balance is something many of us struggle with, but women are at an even greater disadvantage. The constant pressure to prove themselves as competent and committed employees leads them to take on more responsibilities than their male colleagues, which ultimately results in burnout.

Ten reasons quitting your present job is not a wise idea.

1. Your job is probably making you miserable, otherwise you would not feel the need to quit. If it is making you miserable, change your lifestyle or change your job.
