Hey Maggie !! Your journey is so inspiring !! Hope so whatever steps you gonna take next may lead you closer to the person you want to be :) and yeah I am so looking forward to your next video !! Good luck and be happy 🍀
Thank you for your kind words @arpitamishra4415 it means the world ☺️
@@maggieindata all I see is overachieving ungrateful Asian lady quits 6 figure job most would kill for good luck on your “journey” or whatever you want to call it try working on not dying alone
For people getting inspired to quit after this video, don’t do it!… Its pretty hard to get another job in 2024 and unless you have a fall back option hang on to the current job. If you need a break, take vacation/ therapy for other issues. If you are pursuing other career options, start that in parallel to current job.
The rule of thump is them never quit unless you have something else in place
#FACTS.. I left IT 17 years ago, scariest part was when the first direct deposit didn't hit.. it got real..
Definitely already have something established before leaving. I did, worked out excellent for me, I now have multiple employees and one of my companies is specialized automotive technology.. its on my channel
Exactly!
I made the mistake of quitting my $55 an hr Android developer job a couple years ago, and I haven't been able to find anything since. To be fair I hated the job I was doing because I'm super introverted. Working on getting my CDL now. Tech is dead unless you're a rock star developer.
agreed!
My advice to anyone in here thinking about quitting their job please have something in line more than just family support. Never want to be an extra responsibility because things aren't working out. Instead of being an extra expense to your family or friends just put in extra hours outside of your work. detach your life from your current job and focus on what you want. If there is anyone in here saying well you aren't giving your best to your job, just remember if you died today they would have a replacement in less than a month. Your job may treat you well but at the end of day, the business will go on. You are valuable, treat yourself as such. I hope everyone in here reaches their goals in life.
In the same boat. Working on getting my CDL now. Tech just wasn't for me. Id rather do software development as a hobby.
Wishing you nothing but luck on your future Journey
That is very kind. Thank you! 😊
Honestly planning to do the same next year. I just need to take some risk and get out of the work-work-work life that I've built. With the never ending tech layoffs, these high paying tech jobs don't even seem stable anymore, so gotta plan life around that reality. Definitely inspiring
Better to be depressed while getting paid rather than depressed not having a job at all
I love the story Maggie, I'm sure it will be successful, and you will be proud of yourself!!! I will check out the book too!
Yesss thank you 🙌 let me know what you think!
Good luck Maggie!!! I also left my tech job and decided to see if I could make YT sustainable! Best of luck on your adventure!!!
I love that! Best of luck to you as well 😊
I appreciate how well spoken you are. I enjoyed hearing you speak and the wisdom you have even in your twenties. Life is beautiful!
This just made my day 🥺 thank you for your kind words!
Hey! Whatever happens we're here.
Go find yourself and comeback ,I for one is excited to see how far you are going to take this decision.
All the best l!!
Thank you so much! I am really excited too and thank you for coming on the journey with me 😊
Best of Luck for your next job search. You will get it soon.
thank you for this video !!!
I hope you enjoyed it!
what a lovely well spoken elegant and beautiful woman. blessings to you in what you do for a business venture. with your strong mind will and personality from a geniune heart you will definitely reap the rewards...in fact you are already in the process to do so😊
i can fully understand being an more interesting peron, growth- some of my friends are stuck and when i try to share something new they just ignore or have no idea , also impact many times on projects doesn't go to production vs even if 10 people gets help in social media get there dream job - that just hits the satisfaction level more.
100% 🙌
None of these were good reasons to quit
It's all due to privilege and false sense of entitlement. You don't see farm workers quitting and they get paid way less and work harder. People who grew up easy can't handle a regular job.
What advice would you give people going into data science at this point 😢
Let's be real, not everyone has the PRIVILEGE to quit a job without another lined up ESPECIALLY if you're from lower income Black and Brown communities. These videos are extremely unrealistic for most people in America or North America and it's always from someone doing well off. The job market and economy is trash and finding a job is extremely hard right now and not to mention everything is extremely expensive. It's like people who quit jobs without another lined up are immune to these things and it very much seems the case. For REGULAR people don't quit carelessly like this. Have a job always.
Good luck !
Thank you! 😊
@@maggieindatayou’re welcome it’s been a really rough ride for me too.
Hey Maggie, can you tell me which one is better career data engineering or data science??
There’s more demand in data engineering than data science right now. I’d focus on my foundational knowledge because likely we’ll all need to pivot to new fields!
@@maggieindata thanks a lot Maggie, can I connect with you on some platform like linkedin or any other coz. I have a lotta doubts as I'm just starting in the field data engineering?
I am making 200k as heading data analytics function and thinking of quitting too for some of the reasons you mentioned. But not sure what to do next.
Let’s chat! Sounds like you have a lot under your belt
@@maggieindata I've only been in the role for 2 years. Before that, I was managing the HR Systems and built out an offshore team to service and maintain HR systems. However, I am finding Data Analytics in HR is not for me and I have very limited resources. The culture in HR is also not data-driven and I meet resistance all along the way. I think my best option is to take a break and reassess.
@adammorra3813 Maybe transfer to a different department.
@loner007 its a small company, not any other roles to transfer to where i can use my skills
You people have way too much money
God bless ❤️👍🙏
Ooohhhhhh I am so early
Hii 😁
also if u are free read the book - The Dip by Seth Godin
Thank you for the recommendation! I just placed a hold for it at the public library 😊
Should have partied in her youth, instead of studying so hard.
