I gave up my Big Tech salary and perks to bet on myself. Within 5 months, I made $100,000 in revenue.
Briefly

"When I had an opportunity to leave with three months' pay, I decided to give up my last salary of over $300,000 a year. I took it as a sign to bet on myself as a full-time solopreneur; it was the best decision I ever made."
"I was extremely nervous to leave behind the stability and comfort of Big Tech. In addition to the salary, I left behind a lot of great perks and tech benefits that I'd had in every role, from free food to gym memberships and massages."
"I help program managers land fulfilling roles and share actionable tips on careers, business, and life on LinkedIn, in my newsletter, and on Instagram."
"I had a loose benchmark of hitting $100,000 by the end of the year, but now, nine months in, I've more than replaced my tech salary."
