The REAL Reason I Quit My 6-Figure Data Analyst Job 

Love the transparency and authenticity. And I noticed your theme of your permanent job is not permanent, more people need to see this side of 9-5 unveiled

Dude, you hit the mark with this one. What brings me the most value from your videos is the amount of thought you give to those topics, correct me if I'm wrong but it really seems you are thinking very deeply about what you say here and give to us. + I confirm I have a very authentic feeling from this channel, my favourite part being the bloopers at the end of the video. I consider your channel one of the few I decided to give my time to watch.

Stefan your story telling and videos are becoming better and better keep on rocking!!!

oh my gosh the mosquitos, so funny 😂 I love that mindset of "you are the best at being you" and that your real competition is with yourself. I'm becoming more and more inspired to be my own boss rather than working for someone else. Just need to take that leap of faith! Thanks for the video ❤

Man your videos are awesome. You get to follow only few people on RU-vid, this is true. It is like an intimate speech with just a couple of friends you have the time to meet with and I think it's something like an elective choice. Happy to be part of your journey!

Very inspiring Stefan! Love your take on this, and I agree with your point. Content creation is the future 😇🙌

Great stuff, and it all starts with being authentic to yourself to be able to face and accept this reality. Keep it going, really enjoying your videos

Man I love your videos. I feel I can relate in everyone and they really remind me how vast this world is. Please dont stop bro.

I enjoy watching your videos. And always excited to find time as soon as I see a new one is out.

This is so true. Your content is getting better by the day.

Awesome video with info . I really enjoy this.

Really great bro, it sure need loads of courage to do what ya doing! Thank you for keep pushing 👍🏼🤗

Stefan you had inspire me with all your thought ..and I wish you all the success for what you do .

Love the honesty , keep it up and I subscribed. Cheers 💯👍🏾

Great video. Bring your authentic self becomes more and more important. I recently quit my management role to take up a data analyst role so I don't have spout the corporate bs, now I just have to ignore or tolerate it.

"Escape competition with authenticity" is a great quote, I love it.

Bring yourself in everything you do. Follow your path and aim. If your goal is to become the world's best data analyst, go do that, do not care about the competition.

Your content is unique and satisfying and I love how you make your videos short and straight to the point and have fun while doing it😂🥂I hope I’m able to get to where you are someday.

That was a really good video! You’re definitely improving

Love your content and the bloopers, blessings!

Love the quote on being authentic, new subscriber here♥️

Keep it up man! I am following you because of your personality!

I always love the ending bloopers. That's why I always watch till the end. Good stuff

Great content I agree with you 100%. Yes you might be in competition with others but if you are compensated enough and most importantly you are making a difference to someone’s life that is what money can’t buy and keeps you fulfilled. Not a 9~5 job that you meet certain targets so that you beat your competitors without making any difference to the world. Hope I’m making some sense lol.

Your content resonates with me bro. I've been in the tech industry for just under 14 years and it's creeping up on me lately. Been meaning to make the jump to the real sector or anything completely different, but just have too big of a family to take care of (3 kids). I have some investments in property, a company, and stocks, but if I we're to quite my 9-5 job, I won't be able to make the monthly payments. Ishall research more on all this RU-vid content creation stuff. Thank you!

Much love to you brutha. Teaching me a lot with these videos and I appreciate you. Subbing now my boy

Great video, Stefan!

Dude i recenlty discover your channel, its really amazing , the quality is so high in your videos.

Actually the 4th reason is why I subscribed to your channel. Your authenticity. Kepp it going man!

Well done nomad 👏 you made some valid points!

I like the way you explain everything, about job and after job decision .... I also had the same idea once I find the of data analyst job . I'm learning it deeply ☺️🙌🏻 like your video

Hey man, I just wanted to let you know that I binged your videos and this one really hit the mark. I recently started working for an EOR provider (if you don't know what that means, look it up) and I can really see how it helps globalize the hiring market. Unfortunately, it also comes with an erosion in worker protections. A lot of these EOR providers will only do the bare minimum they need to do in order to hire in a compliant fashion, and sometimes not even. Lots of employers are using EORs as a way to skirt around misclassification laws and from what I've seen, the worst is yet to come.

Killing it!

Love your work man

Grate content bro, regards from México !!

Good explanation. The challenges of being a freelancer are another set of the game.

Svaka cast brate!

Holy sh*t! This was so accurate for the current era. You have an incredible ability to look at the big picture but from the inside, if that makes any sense.

Honestly didn’t thought that someone is saying that what I am thinking off daily. Nice content, thanks for it keep going

good info, thanks keep going

I resonate with you! I'll be here when you hit 1million subs

Thank you so much for this. I'm currently working in the banking industry and I wanted to shift to Data Analytics but having seen this real authentic video, I want to follow my passion and open up my own business.

Hoi Hoe gaat het? Dankie wel for this video, I’m already setting up my calendar. Recorded shots of Netherlands 🇳🇱 during my time there and post something short and interesting about it! #shorts

I still love your style and honesty.

It's an honor to be in the list of ''youtubers''. To be honest, I'm just starting out. It's akward looking back to my first video (coincidentally about authenticity). But YOU have inspired me to just start. And I just want to say THANK YOU for that! I consider it my duty to share the lessons I've learned so far with other people. That was my purpose to start. And for everyone who wants to start, but has some doubts. I would like to say: JUST DO IT. You have nothing to lose. Except for the regrets you will have if you don't. Keep it up brother, see you soon!

I figured it was a consulting job, since this salary is usually reserved for management positions! I make 135k and I have a dozen I.T. Certificates and have 20 years experience. Problem is the I.T. Field is saturated and therefore puts a dampener on salaries!

Good story telling ❤️

You will grow big for sure!!!!

Твоји видеи су предобри. Све најбоље 💪💪

I'm a long time freelancer and I can see the decline of my uniqueness in a way. Competition making our value a little bit less each day. So thank you for this, I thought I'm the only one experiencing this.

You can work from anywhere, but "please let us know which location you choose, as we need to compare market data". In other words: we need to compare if somebody's cheaper than you. I won't even touch the topic of tax residency and other glass walls you may hit in a corporate world. Appreciate your honesty, your thoughts really resonate with my thinking and it's always a pleasure to listen to your opinions. Best of luck, I'll definitely watch future videos!

love this content man! Recently quit my job myself to work for myself

find ur inspiration , find ur independent , be always yourself even in hard moments , find your escape plan and enjoy your life , dont lose yourself and feeling your life set is almost all we need ;)

Just to know why ppl watch and what attracts in authenticity - it is unique, u r like painter of some sort. Like your content, it resonates with today's ppl problems. U solve them with your content.

I'm so glad I've found your channel

Isnt there something to scare away those mosquitos, like a certain scent, that just makes them turnaround. Perhaps essential oils (cedar wood oil could work i think or maybe pine wood oil), certain woods, or maybe certain candles or i dont know the english word but burning scent that gives smoke either a special wood or like those stick they use in some temples. Many insects avoid any kind of smoke, yet in thailand u probably need to be extra careful with candles and stuff outside of the rain period.

Now I work from somewhere in Mexico for an American company. Thanks to you now I'm starting to learn data analytics because in agriculture there are tons of data and I want to be a content creator/data analyst to expand my future possibilities because is a mix impossible to find right now.

As a 'permanent' data analyst in Amsterdam, I can totally relate to what you're saying :D Great and inspiring video - love it! (glad that I don't have those many mosquitos here tho..)

Really great video. Man your work is really cool. Thank you for sharing yours thoughts ! (and thank you for clarify your last salary ;) ). The quality of your video is top notch. Even the sound 'quality' has really improved, I mean the sound is cristal clear, really good, but sometimes, it sounds to me a little loud. Did you considere using a micro-vest (I don't know if it is the right word) ?

Great video

this is great video...

Your absolutely right Stefan!!....the advancement of AI would take off a lot of jobs in the market, Digital marketing is another industry that I would say gonna have a big impact by AI...a lot of the small time agencies would get wiped out by big agencies who would go after SME's with highly expensive AI technology for which a small agency cannot compete with....same thing with Data Analytics AI would build more stacks with so much flexibility I think human soft skills would be the only input on future...doing youtube content creation makes much more sense than spiraling down this rabbit hole

Just keep being you, unique on your own way, doing things on your way and achieving your dreams, while playing, having fun, doing things you really love to do. btw, with the 100% remote working, getting kind of default way of working, is great for the people who love adventures and like to travel hole world. like us trying to settle down in Puglia but still depending from work in Netherlands. I hope only AI will not replace me comming years, cause i will kick her a*s!

And yeah you show your authenticity at the end of every video.. like that :)

Key points: 1. Why work as analyst if you can get paid for making videos. Especially if savings allows this type of life 2. Reasoning behind decision - competition from third world and personal ''authenticity' My thoughts: 1. Competition. I may be wrong, but Its relatively easy to learn tools and get into the field. Yet deep domain knowledge combined with mastery in several fields are quite rare and in high demand. Business can outsource low skill tasks to outstaff with ease, but what about key decisions, strategy, product development, marketing and lead positions roles? Could yours 6 years of experience be an advantage? 2. Recent events showed the fragility of content creator position. Platform holds your fate in their hands. You or even entire countries could be easily demonetised.

Great video as always Stef! Quick question do you still think studying to be a data analyst is still worth it? Even with as many competitors that there are. I ask because i'm currently doing the google data analytics course which I am trying to finish before going to study in Rotterdam this year(IBM).

Bro your storytelling is getting exponentially better with every video. Keep going!!

Have a great life!! but i am on way to become a data analyst . Cheers!!

I watched it two times man!

Ah lol. You are on the same island as I‘m! I hope I can see you here somewhere and tell you that you are a cool guy!

U’re a pure soul ♥️

Glad to see someone follows the wise Naval as well. 🙂

Haha I didn’t watch the first video so 🤪 But strangely the fear of being out skilled is the one that marks the most I think.(yeah high quality English grammar right there) Nice video tho !!! (Mondialisation is may be a great thing indeed !)

Postovanje, g-ne Stefanovic.

underrated content

What do you think of Julia for data analytics? Do you recommend it for freelancers, or just stick with Python?

That was pretty honest. Thanks for the video. I like the fact you sound like a normal guy

I think your authenticity is working now! I like how you describe the different types of mosquitoes.

keep it up 👌

You getting out of the rat wheel and me trying to get in. What a crazy world. There are other youtubers in the same niche, but which one do you see traveling to beautiful places? Which ones do you see killing mosquitoes? Which ones have recording errors? Only here. Cheers!

Great videos! I have 2 years as a Data Analyst from México and i want to take the next step, how and where can i start as a freelancer? Thanks, @Stefanovic!! Greetings from México!

nice! reason I thought I saw you at airport in Vienna wanted to say thanks for the tips I don't don't it was you

that's a great point actually

Since i also thought that “working from another country as software developer , even though im student i also learning that skill so that if i can get even average earning from that country it would be perfect “. I hope i can do that because i want to work from home and earn dollar.

What do you think is a good amount of money to have at 30 to be able to quit one's job and take time off to travel/ start a side-hustle?

So the only job left are manual jobs like carpenter, welder, Sparky's etc ?

Bloopers are so real and i can feel it 😂😂😂

how many years did you work as a data analyst?

Love the raw sense of humour 😂

Remote position will come with salary adjustment in the long run. Ppl who live in expensive area will have a pay cut since the company can find cheap labor working remote. So why would they live in expensive area? Why would a company hire US citizen?

I just like you man

nice back bro

Thank you for your information what about a man who is 50 may change his life?

Not gonna lie, thought it was gonna be one of those BS videos, but just the share about working remotely is nice but then you will have competition all over the world that can much potentially charge a lower price than you is more than enough to make this video great. And the authenticity! Great video and thanks for the share.

This is what I also think. Then why should I leave my current job and pursue data analytics only to find someone from Asia easily can replace me, employer no longer needs me, they can hire somebody with same talent with much lower cost? Please share your thought.

wow , you really motivated me dude. umm btw can u tell us how old are you and where are you from ?

What job did you have before you become a Data Analyst ?

How long do you plan to stay in Thailand ? Make some videos of your traveling …

another great video, how do you do that? because creating a video like you do takes a lot of time in my opinion. don't you have a job or something?

Córdoba, Argentina aparece en el video.. :3
