I Quit My Job as a Software Engineer to Stay True to Myself

[@maisyleigh]

If you stay true to yourself, you'll make it through anything. This is my story of how I quit my job as a software engineer to pursue my passions, find my purpose, and embark on this crazy journey! Exploring cozy entrepreneurship, content creation, & creating Cozyleigh Studios with my family, where we're able to create without bounds, and bring our ideas to life for the world to experience. I hope my story inspires you to find your destiny, and to always stay true to who you are. It's okay to evolve. After all, that's what makes us beautiful, unique, and human. See you in my next video :) Love, Maisy [P.S. Sorry for the mic blowing out! 🎙️💥 My mic settings were wrong and I only noticed after! Hope you guys still enjoy the video!]

Let me revise your bs title. "I QUIT BECAUSE I AM FUNDED BY MY PARENTS SO I CAN BE A FREELOADER."

[@endingit12]

I started crying with how you speak of your sister, like how you wanted to pave a way for your sister to be able to follow her dreams and explore her art in a way where she can have financial stability too. You are an amazing big sister

[@extranight7798]

I’m trapped in a job in which I’m told what to do, even though the person who manages me doesn’t have any idea, and of course you can’t complain or make any constructive criticism. It’s a company and a job without any kind of future. If I haven’t quitted yet it’s because of the salary to pay the bills, of course, but if not I totally would quite today. My dream is to start a digital business and start working on my own. I hope one day I can be in this position like you. This video has been really inspiring ❤

[@maisyleigh]

Wishing you well, and cheering you on to go after your digital business dream! So happy my story & this video inspires you.

Is it just me, or is KZbin now flooded with young Asian women who are quitting their engineering jobs to become product managers/designers? I am just noticing this trend on my KZbin feed. Anyway, do what makes you happy. :)

[@imjuststoppingby7820]

I've been noticing this trend as well

[@mizunopearl]

There has been a lot of layoffs in the tech sector due to the over hiring in during covid. Given the cost of living crisis and high inflation I'm skeptical there's a huge market for this new wave of product designers with people prioritizing feeding themselves.

[@itsyagamerkels8015]

Yes, maybe because they were raised to be a software engineer, for example, when they really wanted to be an interior designer or something. This means they quit their job to go on KZbin and explain their journey. I've seen this been happening too.

[@ChristyScronce]

Yep, seeing this all over my feed as well.

Truly inspirational story. Most people go to college believing that they are owed their dream job after graduation, instead of deciding to use what they learned to create their own opportunities.

[@carolinesromancereads]

I understand what you’re saying but not everyone is fortunate enough to be able to create their own opportunities, and these things are often out of our control. And actually, it is people’s right to be able to work and make money because otherwise we’d be homeless. I’m stuck in two crappy retail job that don’t earn me enough money or hours and I earned a college degree, why should I have to work retail? I was the last semester to graduate before covid and never stood a chance.

[@lopche808]

@@carolinesromancereadsagain, college degree’s are only a tool, they usually don’t guarantee anyone dream jobs and they won’t guarantee you to not have “two retail jobs.” It’s the skills and work ethic developed throughout years in college that help in achieving your dream job or goal.

[@CreativeSteve69]

I still remember finding ya when ya started doing coding stuff during late 2020. It's been a fun journey watching ya evolve through the years though Maisy into a indie business through the years. Also finding you helped me to not only stick with coding, but also get back into other hobbies as well such as 3D enivorment creation learning and gamedev on the side as other hobbies. I also hope someday to start up my own indie studio in the upcoming future. you've been a inspiration. I would love more videos like this on indie entrapanuritships. :)

[@maisyleigh]

So happy to hear that my story & content over the years has inspired you! Thanks for watching my videos all this time, I'm so appreciative of you!

[@namratapawar1523]

Hello, I recently quit my architecture firm to start my own studio and it is rewarding with the work that I am able to do, with the projects I am able to work on . But there is always this tinge of fear of what’s next after a project ends - despite having a more rounded life in all aspects since my departure for my desk job , I often worry. I am glad to come across others regardless of the field to see doing so much better and it motivates me. Thank you . Cheers 🥂

[@mounishdholakia3774]

I am walking on the same path. I love the design and web application development. Your videos allow me to connect to my passions and interests especially in programming. I love historical inventions and archaeology and want to design products that bring back the memories of the past to the present and future and let people enjoy using it. Keep going, I love your videos.

[@ProtossHyrdalisk]

Hey! I started following you after I saw your shorts. I'm a software developer, but I was actually between Creative Writing / Computer Science when I was entering College. I feel pretty similar to you. I enjoy creating things or exploring things rather than actually doing software development. I've been in the field for almost a decade, and I've decided to go back to school to grab an anthropology and creative writing degree. Your videos make me wonder if I dont need to waste the money. Maybe there's a spot for me to work and to learn independently without classes. Appreciate your videos!

[@maisyleigh]

I taught myself design without taking any classes, and currently learning a bunch about marketing & business as I run my own business now! It's definitely possible to learn without classes, but do what is best for you! Thanks so much for watching my videos!

[@jeriheggie]

I love your evolution from coding to physical products. I actually think you could make a video about the cozy way you clean the bathroom and I would still watch it 😂 As a woman in STEM I totally get not feeling as valued as my male counterparts. I’m outnumbered and I have different life responsibilities as a mother of four so I don’t have the same capacity to work the same hours. Sometimes I spend hours in the evening and weekends catching up with my projects and that’s exhausting. I’m hoping to eventually replace my income with other creative projects like creating content for KZbin and then I can just do design work on the side on my own cozy terms 😉

[@maisyleigh]

Thank you so much for loving my story! Appreciate all the support. Dabble in creativity, explore, and "just do it"! You never know what may happen!

[@ДанилоНовосад-ь7х]

You found something that many people can't find throughout their whole life. Really happy for you and your closest people ❤ Best wishes

[@maisyleigh]

Thank you so much!

[@aurore_perles]

I understand the difficulties of a software engineer and woman, I saw that myself. And I am searching for something else, but maybe I found the right spot. I would like to work with my husband also but for now, it's impossible. Maybe one day ! I will follow your videos, I like all kind of cozy stuff ☺️

[@yuffieh3860]

Self taught/bootcamp software engineer for the last 7+ years, I was recently laid off. Your videos have always given me comfort and I am happy to see your journey thanks for sharing ❤

[@MidnightLibraryx]

I spent 10 years in retail trying to find my true purpose after college. During that time I was making KZbin videos and posting on social media which turns out makes me so much happier. Of course living in a traditional life style, I chose to keep working for the money that caused my mental health to take a huge dive. Growing up in my generation, I felt like a failure because every one else was moving on to their high paying careers while I was still confused. Now I am almost 30, burnt out, and not wanting to return to the workforce. Social media has definitely changed so much that now people can make a living off of it and pursue their dreams. Your videos have always been inspiring and motivational to me and maybe this is a sign to go back to what makes me happy. :)

[@Beer_the_Husky]

Dear Maisy, your cozy videos resonate deeply with me on many levels. Beyond just providing a comforting escape, they offer a sanctuary in a chaotic world, reminding us to slow down, appreciate the small joys, and find solace in simplicity. Your dedication to creating such genuine and nurturing content is not only inspiring but also a testament to the power of authenticity in connecting with others. Thank you for curating spaces of tranquility and warmth in a digital landscape often dominated by noise and haste. Your work is a beacon of light, guiding us back to what truly matters. Keep shining brightly, Maisy. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@maisyleigh]

Aww, thank you so so much!!

[@vanillaclaud]

Hello Maisy, such an inspiration! I've been following you since your coding video days and I can really relate to your experience. I'm also a Software Engineer, but I have a strong passion for design and I crave more free time to explore my creative interests. I recently made the tough decision to resign, hoping that pursuing my passion is the right choice. I believe that following what you love is important, even when the path is uncertain. I'm optimistic that this decision will lead to a more fulfilling career and a better work-life balance. 🙏🏻✨

[@benjaminfosse3064]

i experienced health mental because of work more than a year ago. I gave up to take care of me. Since i moved place far where i come from, i am reviving and get a job who fits my personality and what i like to do. But i am keep in mind to learn and do what i really want to do. It is a very though moment and i am lucky to sort of this cage. We all must support to make it through no matter the time and the price it cost. Best wishes and keep waiting your progress in the close future.

[@swaggitypigfig8413]

Hi maisy! Im a lurker in your channel but I’ve been watching your channel for quite sometime now and I’m happy to discover your content. Back then I used to work in a local animation studio in my country but i felt so burnt out and felt like what i’m doing, depite learning a lot, is not making me grow as an artist. I left the studio and I couldnt be happier but now I still have to find my purpose or being as an artist. Im still lost but this video made realize to not rush things and take time to discover what I wanna do in my art career. Thank you so much for sharing your story 🥰

Started working retail in 2020 at the height of COVID and have stuck with it since. Worked my way up to manager at my current job even. Despite that, I'm becoming more aware each day my mental health is declining. About ready to quit and and find something else.

[@WeSleepForever91]

Same, I moved from events to home based retail customer service and while I love working from home and the decent pay, this job is slowly killing my mental health, I've never been more miserable in my life but I can't just quit as the job security and pay are better than I've been able to find elsewhere

your warm and cozy videos is what got me to follow you. i agree with you - the other tech channels weren't my style either 😅 as someone who was unsure about getting an engineering degree, followed through with it, and didn't really care for it, i loved hearing your story

[@stringsofpain]

Hello Maisy! Greetings by one introverted art soul from Bulgaria. The cozy environment and your race brought me to your channel. I love asian cultures, especially Japanese (because of the architecture, history, the way that words are drawn, philosophy of life). I am also in the tech industry but since my early years I was always into arts. Drawing especially. Recently I read Ikigai as well. Wish you luck and success with your journey. I'll be coming to take notes, because I am on the same journey (from tech to arts). On top of that I've always wanted to work for my self with people sharing same values and visions. Thank you for evolving Maisy! Thank you for all of your work up to that point - it's immensely inspiring for me and reassuring that the path I am on is the right one. Blessings of health, wealth and happiness to you and your family 💜

I found your channel because my daughter is into 3D printing! We love your videos and she wants to start her own 3D printing business. I love your essence. Keep creating.

[@eri002]

I'm so tired of my current job, both mentally and physically. I'm trying to start my own business and am already getting pulled back from the first step of starting a business: registering the LLC and dealing with all the government paperwork. Not going to lie, I'm stressed and confused right now. I keep asking myself if I'm on the right path. Your videos bring me a little bit of calm. Maybe someday, I can also have the freedom to do what I love and still be able to make a living. Thank you for sharing the story behind your brand♡

Is it normal to cry while watching? I feel exactly the same struggles: being bored of masculine setups, being a woman employee whose works are judged all the time, and craving design! What a muse you are! Thanks for the video.

[@brendev]

It's so weird that you described my exact situation! hahah I'm currently taking a break after almost 10 years acting as frontend engineer. And I feel exactly as you described. I'm not a designer by no means, but I always liked to create stuff from the ground up. However, lately I've been kinda being told what to do, so I was really not having much exposure to my creative side in my job. I am currently teaching myself electronics and I don't have any ideia if this will become a job in the future (maybe I'll also pivot to product design?), let's see... By the way, it's pretty nice to hear that someone else took the same path and it's working out! I'm happy for you!

[@withloveandchills7674]

Love this video! I'm one of three and both of my siblings are non verbal. I worked a corporate job and quit to make my side hustle my full time. I do it all for them because I want to have a flexible schedule and work life balance that allows me to build a future where I can spend time with them whenever I want. Like you said, my siblings are my joy. They really do drive us to be the best version of ourselves.

[@minsungderstandings]

Girl, I've actually cried (I'm still crying xd) when you've shown the graph and said you definitely not want to spend less time with family, because I am the exact same. My family is my world. I would even say my family are my actual true friends, my best friends, specially my mom. In fact, I spend most of my time with her, more than 5 hours a day for sure. Most of the time, whenever I have free time I spend it being with my mom, because we're basically the same and even our differences make us stronger and we always learn from each other; also, we enjoy the same things: K-Pop, animals, KZbin videos, design and art, philosophy and psychology... We're the same in almost everything. So, I can definitely feel how it must be for you, the need to stay with your family and loved ones. I wish all the best to the three of you, I hope you succeed wonderfully

[@johnsmithsbedroom]

It's interesting I found this channel while going through a transition myself; my startup is currently trying to get acquired and I'm sort of at an impasse where either i should get a new job or just take a break from the workforce entirely. I've been working in application development (front end, back end, cpp, etc.) for 9 years now and I've been feeling uninspired by it. I've always felt really happy when pursuing my own projects which is what I'm doing now. I'm actually really considering going back to get a masters in EE because of my frustration with not being able to break into jobs that are doing some really cool stuff like in reverse engineering and fpga development. I don't really know what will happen in the future but I'm excited regardless. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@halfwit2]

This is so cool. You've created some amazing things! I resonate with what you're saying, it feels similar in that you are driven to create things out of knowing it could be better or like just the way you want it. Computers allow me to do all of that *for free* which I think is why I was drawn to it so heavily, but the lustre was gone once it was doing other peoples things, their way; not that I want to disparage the work I do as not being important or meaningful. It's just not deeply aligned with those dreams.

Not sure if anyone can relate to this, but that is my struggle at the moment, so caught up in the busy life and external pressures that I've lost clarity in who I am and what my core values are.

Just a few years ago tech workers were kings, with generous perks, benefits and management constantly bending over to every whim. As soon as the economy went south they all showed their true colors with massive layoffs, constant threats of layoffs and push for productivity.

[@ninatapia2073]

Hi Maisy! I originally watched your videos for your Cozy desk setup (cause honestly your work space is so cute!!) as well as my curiosity to see you code. I still feel coding is an area I’m still unfamiliar with but it does interest me. For years I was thinking about what I want to do and only had two things in mind; Design and Technology. So what could I do having those interests in mind? Through research I’ve discovered Industrial Design. Still unfamiliar about the occupation and not 100% I’ll like it, I found myself moving to California and majoring in it LOL. It was such a big risk but omg am I happy I did that because I’m so much happier and finally out of my depressive endless black hole of uncertainty. Within the major I’m able to sketch, CAD, prototype physical mockups, render, and just keep creating! I love the creative freedom to explore and design for others. Other than designing physical products I’m also minoring in UI/UX and completed my first UI/UX project! So while it’s a lot and I know I’m rambling but years ago my highschool self would have never imagined what I’m pursuing right now, both designing physical products with Industrial Design and digital products with UI/UX. Love to hear about your journey and I’m cheering for you! I’m also a believer to never chain yourself down to something and go out there and step into new opportunities because you’ll never know where it will take you!

Obrigada por sempre compartilhar suas perspectivas e nos deixar tão próximos de vocês através da internet. Sempre me sinto renovada, inspirada e animada para minhas escolhas de vida também. ⚡ Infelizmente não faz sentido financeiramente adquirir seus produtos físicos para enviar para o Brasil, quem sabe um dia se eu tiver oportunidade de passear por onde vocês moram eu faça uma encomenda especial. 🤍 Que sua jornada continue sendo aconchegante e evolua sempre, que vocês possam estar sempre experimentando a alegria de viver com muita criatividade! 🪐🎠✨

It's scary how much I can relate. Except I'm black and male. But had many of the same struggles as you explained in this video.

Very inspirational. I’m not happy in social work. I would like to get into content writing. My degree doesn’t match the field.

[@AryanMajithia-t4u]

I was having a lot of anxious time and yet I am sometimes felling insecure . thus I even have a dream to start a script writing , art , and even getting better and better in my grades.

[@jo_io2332]

So inspiring! Thank you for sharing this, all your content inspires me in a big way!

[@maisyleigh]

Maisy, will you ever release that game you were developing? I wish I could play your game someday! By the way, your story is amazing, I hope you can get where you aim to get!
