One of the problems in our society is mental illness & it is a silent killer. Every person is suffering some sort of mental illness & it is not going anytime soon. In fact, once its there; its there for good. Most people with underlying mental illness have no clue. People are becoming alcoholics or substance abuse is on the rise like never before.

I actually did that for 3 years! Travelled a lot. Spent even a couple of months in Asia while working remotely. But my day was still planned around the work schedule. The work was still the same with meetings I didn't like. So even tho it was still a good job with great conditions I wanted something different for my life. Owning my time is probably the answer.

Wow, thanks for sharing! ❤ I’m at a crossroad now, as an unemployed senior product designer (and former front end developer). Last year I went from being laid off to a startup going bankrupt. Highs and lows like crazy. Now I feel I question my whole identity and what to do. I love creating and have jumped back into React (from stopping 2018). I’m trying to find my bearings and get “back into the job market” but it’s so tough, even as a senior. Now I’m thinking of picking up 1-2 of all the ideas I have and simply try go for it! Why keep telling myself I have to play it like “they” force us to?
@gobienan3 ай бұрын
It sounds like you’ve been through a lot! Heard a lot of designers struggle at the moment to land a new job. Turning your ideas into projects could really reignite your passion and showcase your talents. Keep believing in yourself and go for it!

Thanks for the awesome video Gobie! When you quit your job, can I know how long was your runway? How many months could your savings last you before you went broke and had to find some sort of job to pay off your monthly expenses? Am thinking of quitting my healthcare job to build SaaS / mobile apps. Have a fair bit of money saved up, and my savings could easily last me at least 2 years (I'm not married, no kids and no mortgage to pay). Have been learning programming on the side for about 8 months now, 2-3 hours every night after work and 5-6 hours on weekends. But still unsure if I should take the plunge because I kept thinking of the opportunity cost - if I quit, i will be losing X amount of money which I could have earned had I not quit. How did you get over this feeling?
@gobienan3 ай бұрын
Hey there! Thanks for your kind words and for sharing your thoughts. Deciding to leave a steady job is indeed a big step, and it's normal to feel apprehensive about the opportunity costs involved. Before I left my job, I ensured that my savings could cover at least 80% of my monthly expenses for a considerable period. This gave me some peace of mind to focus on what I really wanted to pursue. Currently, I might be earning less than I did before, but the satisfaction and freedom I gain from doing what I love outweigh the financial difference. It's truly liberating to follow your passion, especially when you can align it with your personal and financial boundaries. If you have a solid financial buffer and a clear plan, taking the plunge could be worth the trade-offs. Keep honing your programming skills and perhaps start with small projects to test the waters before fully committing. And most importantly, do what feels right for you! Good luck!
