I Quit My 6 Figure Tech Job - What's Next?

[@cobra2966]

The Software Engineer to Developer Advocate to Full-time Content Creator pipeline needs to be studied

[@philippe7977]

It's mind boggling right?! Why did I study CS?!

[@kannonpatterson]

@@philippe7977 I’m literally sitting here thinking the same thing . Why am I grinding out college , leet code etc just to have a short career ? Something needs to change in software if this industry causes so much burnout

[@GyasiLinje]

@@kannonpatterson honestly guys it wasn’t really because of the swe that caused the burnout it’s really the creator work + really any demanding job no matter the industry that can cause burnout

I honestly enjoy this than just software engineering videos. For the first I watched your videos from beginning to the end. Those software engineers videos were little too repetitive but this new transition is 🔥

[@omarij2925]

Hey Gyasi. Just wanted to drop off a comment and say thank you for being an introduction for me to the field of software engineering. 6 years ago in high school I watched your day in the life of a swe and it completely changed the trajectory of my life seeing a fellow black man working in the industry. Because of you I am a 4th year computer science student blessed with opportunities in the tech space that I likely wouldn't have gathered/been introduced to had I not seen your video. Your lifestyle videos in NYC infused with tech + fashion + traveling are pretty inspiring and something I am actively chasing for myself, and I'm wishing you the best with your transition from the software engineering to the full time creative space. Nothing but love and support from my end :)

[@Bukola1]

OMG Congrats! So excited to see your journey!

Such an incredible journey man, so excited to see what full time content Gyasi creates 🔥

[@MABACTS]

As someone who works in IT and is planning to move to NYC early next year to pursue an acting career, this video is perfect timing! Congrats on the transition and I look forward to seeing what you produce next!

[@InstantLuc]

Proud of you brother. I quit my job back in 2018 to travel. Worked in Asia and Europe before settling down in Japan last year. Met my now wife along the way. Wishing you safe travels!

[@KevinNaughtonJr]

good luck Gyasi! :)

[@CODIGGZ]

You dropped this video right at an important time in my career journey, thank you! May your new journey be a blessed one.

[@brianruizy]

Congrats on the big move! 🎉 Can’t wait to see where this journey takes you and all the awesome content you’ll create!

[@kanikamirchandani]

Congrats Gyasi! I've been following your journey since your early videos, and watching you grow has been inspiring. Would love to see a behind-the-scenes 'day in the life' that shows the real ups and downs of content creation - from the creative blocks to the editing marathons. Taking the leap from your 9-5 must be both thrilling and terrifying. Hope you'll share some of those raw moments too. Keep crushing it! 🎉

[@GyasiLinje]

@@kanikamirchandani thank you for being a day-one and thrilling/terrifying is a great way of putting it lol

[@cxjcole]

As someone who found your channel as I was starting my SWE career, it’s bittersweet as you were the only black man I saw in the engineering space making content related to being an engineer. Sad to see you go but happy that you’re following your passion. Hopping the next chapter is fulfilling for you🙏🏽

[@JulianSteve]

First off, the camera quality is amazing! Second, I totally understand why you’re changing your career path. Corporate has not been the best for me. So, if I had the opportunity to change my career path I’ll take it. Like you said, there was a pattern indicating that you wanted to adjust. The job hopping was a giveaway. Thank you for always being transparent with us. I truly enjoy your content⭐️!

[@GyasiLinje]

@@JulianSteve I appreciate this and I hope that you can find a career path that is both rewarding and fulfilling 🤞🏾

[@francischeung7174]

Hey Gyasi, you made a right decision. This is the perfect time to do something you enjoy while you are still young and with no kids. Explore the world and see different cultures. I always enjoy your videos. Good content, good flow, and good background music. Can't wait to see where you will go next. Good luck!

[@kdub6898]

Do it my bruh! I'm tuning in fa sho!
