I quit my $200k tech job to be a meditation teacher

Today's video is a bit more vulnerable than I'm used to being on the internet, but I hope it finds someone who needs to hear this today 🤎.

ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Amber! By day, I'm a consultant working in tech, and this is where I teach meditation for people who live in the modern world. I help you go from being stressed, overworked, and using unhealthy coping mechanisms to having a regular meditation and self-care practice so you can feel content, in control, and confident that you have their own back no matter what challenges you face.

Yesss I relate so much, I left my $220k job in tech because I could not do it anymore, it was so soul sucking but I think we need to have those experiences to learn what we don't want

I resonate so much with all of this. the struggle with giving up the super cushy tech salary seems on the outside like a crazy thing to do. but I think you said it perfectly - "my inner world was not in harmony with the environment I was putting myself in." the money is just not worth the unhappiness and stress. I didn't know there was a term for it, "misalignment burnout," so interesting!

Absolutely 🤎🤎

Amber, first you have a real soothing and nice voice. It's like silk in my ears and just calms me down. I love it and you would make great guided meditations. Second, I understand the challenge you are on because I am in a similiar situation. I am 38 and making $200k in a remote position. My parents are also immigrants and I was born in Pakistan but came to US when I was 9. It's incredibly difficult to just quit your job, espcially as my company has invested so much into me in the last 3 years. But I am so misaligned as I don't want to work in a corporate environment again and want to quit and find something else. I am just drained at the end of the day. On the other side, I don't know what i want but I find it very hard to discover anything because I give all my energy to my job. I plan on leaving but fear takes my mind, same as you where I think I can do things better or I won't land this kind of job again. I am glad you had the courage to trust yourself and go with your gut feeling, especially after you tried fixing everything else. Looking forward to seeing your progress on this.
