Abe Chong, after 13 years as a copywriter, transitioned to become a senior recruiter at Airbnb following a period of dissatisfaction with his career. Fired in 2018, he reassessed his career goals and determined it was time for a radical change. He prioritized earning potential and job satisfaction, ultimately embracing a role that offered more objective criteria for success. This career shift allowed him to significantly increase his earnings, more than doubling his salary to $250,000, and find fulfillment in his new role.
I was over everything about the job... I hit rock bottom in 2018 after getting fired by a manager I didn't agree with.
I could stay the course and make a decent living, but picturing myself as a 55-year-old copywriter... was downright depressing.
I knew the title I badly wanted of creative director would never happen. I didn't have what it took to get or succeed in the job.
I decided to try something entirely new... I set my sights on becoming a tech recruiter.
