Left my old company for Oracle a few months ago, and I’ve been regretting it ever since. Sure, the pay went up, but everything else took a hit, including sleep, peace of mind, and time with family. I don’t feel like I belong here, and now with layoffs in the air, the anxiety’s worse. No amount of TC makes this worth it.

I've had buyers remorse in a couple of my past job transitions. In they end they ended up being positive experiences even though rocky at the beginning. Try to hang tough, do some additional learning and take advantage of whatever you can while you're at Oracle. Don't beat yourself up over it.
Don’t worry this feeling will fade as you become numb to it. Just set boundaries.
