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.

[@MyThoughtzAndOpinionz]

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

[@Careerdriven918]

Exactly!

[@derrickrocha2069]

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.

[@daevdel2993]

agreed!

[@herbbaines1909]

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.

[@derrickrocha2069]

In the same boat. Working on getting my CDL now. Tech just wasn't for me. Id rather do software development as a hobby.

[@mthokozisimyende787]

Wishing you nothing but luck on your future Journey

[@maggieindata]

That is very kind. Thank you! 😊

[@YoutubeStandardLicense]

Stop listening to these people. Do not quit unless you have something lined up. I mean it. I did this once before and spent 4 months struggling to get a role despite having an impressive CV (I have 20 years experience in Tech and have postgraduate qualifications in Machine Learning) Yeah the first 2 weeks were bliss but then the dread kicked in, the wallet got smaller, the bills/rent still came out and my plans for vacation later that year was thrown out the window. I ended up taking a role 4 months later that I would never have taken and was worse off than the role I quit (my salary was lower, I had way more of the same issues that caused me to quit in the first place). It took me a while to get back what I lost monetary wise and after that I was able to move on to a better role

[@NoName-gy6qr]

None of these were good reasons to quit

[@ecor150]

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.

[@TMeyer-ge5pj]

Tbh...I had a job as a teacher. Many people think that job is "meaningful" and "impactful." But at the end of the day you get sick of that too. Now I just try to make the most money with the least work.

[@loresowhat]

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!

[@maggieindata]

Yesss thank you 🙌 let me know what you think!

[@thereal_JMT_]

wait a second, you quit your job because you didn't feel interesting enough and now you sell courses on how to get the job you don't want anymore? Have you ever thought about selling coaching sessions on how to pickup your ex- boyfriend that you dumped?

[@Dee-zy2xv]

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😊

[@Olly-jb2ph]

Better to be depressed while getting paid rather than depressed not having a job at all

[@dziedzorm0]

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!!

[@maggieindata]

Thank you so much! I am really excited too and thank you for coming on the journey with me 😊

[@realalexnguyen]

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!!!

[@maggieindata]

I love that! Best of luck to you as well 😊

[@jussfati]

I appreciate how well spoken you are. I enjoyed hearing you speak and the wisdom you have even in your twenties. Life is beautiful!

[@maggieindata]

This just made my day 🥺 thank you for your kind words!

[@ArunKumar-bp5lo]

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.

[@maggieindata]

100% 🙌

[@ecor150]

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.

[@chriskarnes3410]

6:13 This is why I quit my data science job. I could not stand having my work trashed when it could be so useful for a customer. It’s so tiring to see GenAI displace other ML techniques that are so tried and true.

[@rajranjanojha4539]

Best of Luck for your next job search. You will get it soon.

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.

[@maggieindata]

Let’s chat! Sounds like you have a lot under your belt

[@adammorra3813]

@@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.

[@loner007]

​@adammorra3813 Maybe transfer to a different department.

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!
