I relate to most things you spoke about corporate life. I have been meaning to take some major decisions and this video really gave me some new perspectives. Thanks! And wish you all the best in you new venture!
Actually it happened to me too. You mentioned your work experience as a teacher since university year. I was an account assistant, salary wasn't enough for me I did a part time job every Saturday and Sunday to earn money. In 2018 I quit my account job and tried learning new things like a sales role. It was great but it was sour, in 2022 I had a terrible experience at work my boss wanted to transfer me from a far away place, i had trouble on transport I don't have a car, I asked him why. He said I didn't work with them as a team then he fired me. Too desperate and sad I found another job also bad, because of the new manager, he didn't accept the way I was selling the method to the customer from my creative way. Then he fired me. Now I'm here doing illustration and writing a novel as my job.
Hi, thanks for sharing and I'm sorry that you had to go through many changes. Sometimes closed doors are just redirections, so that we can eventually find what we were truly meant to do. Best of luck in your new endeavors!
Life is made up of mountains and valleys. The positive thing is that, statistically speaking, every valley must be followed by a mountain. You can only shine in activities and places where you feel comfortable, especially if you have a more creative personality. So it was definitely the right decision for you. Listen to your inner voice (as long as there are not several voices and as long as they do not audibly arise in your head 😁). What kind of design was it (design can mean so many things)?
Thanks for sharing your story. I understand it's not easy quitting your job as there's uncertainty. God has a plan for each and every one of us. He gave all of us different talents & skills and he utilizes all of us in many different ways. Goodluck on your journey and stay in touch.
I'll want to take a look at that too, but my feeling and experience tells me that software industry essentially means 1. Sales promises the customer everything in order to sell. 2. The bleary-eyed developers are allowed to make the impossible possible, in addition to voluntary further training in well over 100 programming languages, and therefore often produce poorly tested patchwork software. 3. Support is allowed to make the most of the difference between promises to customers and the current software status. I don't understand why anyone would want to leave an industry like this.😁 Maybe we should restart from the beginning, this time with Minix as the most widely used operating system and a handful of programming languages (no C++, no Javascript and everyone should learn assembler first!)
