LahoreBOtx's journey

I recently found myself in a tough situation after resigning from my job at a tech company where I was working as a project coordinator. I had gone through over 20 interviews to finally land this role, which was a dream come true for me. The pay was great, and I was managing to balance my work with my studies quite well. Everything was going smoothly until I had to take exams. I asked my manager for a couple of days off, but he denied my request even though the company policy allowed for two paid leaves a month. In a moment of frustration, I resigned the very next day without thinking it through. Now, I deeply regret that decision. After my exams, I reached out to HR to see if I could return, but they informed me that due to my manager's feedback and the abrupt manner in which I resigned, they couldn't offer me re-employment. I'm feeling lost because my previous job set such a high standard for me that I can't bring myself to accept offers that are lower than what I was earning there. I even considered going to the office in person to plead my case, but I hesitated. I'm looking for advice on how to move forward from here.
