    As someone who is a similar life stage, I really appreciate the perspective of both structure and freedom that you are approaching this situation with! I’d love to hear more about the tactics you are using to work through the “HOW / WHAT do I ACTUALLY want the next stages of my career to look like”!

    Great to hear you're taking time off with a sabbatical, as someone who is in a similar situation (10 years in corporate). I'm currently in the middle of mine (although I resigned from my employer and am travelling through SE Asia at the moment basing in Bangkok). Also a runner, so its great to see you run Paris. As an Aussie who spent time in London its always great seeing your Europe videos. Hopefully you'll be able to post more while you're travelling, Cheers !

    Hey Kchoi! Congrats on your journey! I've been following you for a while, but this is my first time dropping a comment.
    I can totally relate to your experience. I spent six years in the corporate grind, doing PR and marketing for Tencent and NetEase, pretty much around the clock.
    When the pandemic hit and everything got topsy-turvy, I decided to hit pause and embark on a journey of self-discovery. I quit my job and became a freelancer. I landed in Dali, a tranquil spot in southwest China, and enjoyed a blissful year on sabbatical.
    Then, I jumped into the crypto rabbit hole and spent nearly three years as a researcher. It was a wild ride, but deep down, my love for film and drama never waned. so I take another break and I'll be starting at NYU Tisch this fall (I even had this daydream of bumping into you for coffee in New York!)
    I guess we deserve a break after putting in the hard work, and sometimes, the journey itself matters, just like a marathon.
    also a marathon runner, Your Paris marathon sounds like a dream. Enjoy every moment of it!

I'm not sure whether to step in this domain bcz I have worked in different jobs, and everyone's saying management consultant job is hard. Can you shed some light on this pleaseee ❤

    2 years ago I faced a similar predicament after starting my grad role at Goldman Sachs.
    I wasn’t finding the work meaningful or fulfilling and pivoted into the tech industry to work at Microsoft.
    I was put on instant gardening leave and I had a 6 week gap to re-evaluate my priorities. It gave me the opportunity to start Techpods, spend time with family and think about my medium to long term goals outside of my career.
    It sounds like you’ve put in a great deal of thought. Hope it provides you with the same opportunity!
