핵심 개념
Leaving a corporate job can be a complex and emotional journey, filled with both relief and uncertainty. The author shares their personal experience and the lessons learned about self-discovery, financial management, and finding purpose.
초록
The author shares their experience of resigning from a job they initially thought was their "dream job." They describe feeling relieved to leave a role that caused them to doubt themselves, feel overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, and stressed. However, the realities of adulthood and financial stability soon set in, as the author's savings were quickly depleted due to unexpected laptop repairs.
This experience led the author to ask themselves tough questions about their passions, purpose, relationship with God, and sense of self-worth. The author realized that the time spent in the 9-5 job had robbed them of years of intentional growth. Leaving the job forced the author to start rebuilding and placing more bets on themselves.
The author found new opportunities, such as remote work, blogging, content creation, and business/personal coaching. This journey has taught the author valuable lessons, including how to "Place a Bet on Myself," "Dream Again," and realize that "I'm Enough." The author plans to share more on these lessons in future writings, including a recently published eBook titled "The Year I Discovered I was Enough."

I dropped my resignation letter on April 19th, 2024, exactly 6 months after I started what I thought was my "Dream Job."
I had saved some money ahead of time, but the bill for fixing my laptop ate up all my savings.
The time I spent doing 9-5 had robbed me of almost 5 years of intentional growth.
