  • After a lot of thought, I quit my engineering job because I felt that was the best thing for me to do in this season of my life. In this video, I explain the things that led me to this decision, my thought process, how I prepared for life as an unemployed queen and so much more.
    I made this video in the spirit of transparency and honesty that I want to uphold on this channel.
    Thank you for being here.

    Good for you Mutombo. I saw this coming because you didn't seem enthused or challenged at work, plus overworking yourself with editing plus the recent travel vlogs😉 Congratulations on a courageous decision to improve your quality of life and chase your passions.
    2 suggestions: pls make sure you have something saved for medical emergencies as well /medical insurance not just day-to-day living expenses because you never know when something serious is going to hit you. And 2. try to stay on top of your engineering standards, best practices, certifications etc by participating in workshops and seminars periodically so that if the perfect opportunity arises to go back into engineering in the future, you'd have kept your skills up-to-date so you can easily slip back into the job market (just as a backup plan)

    • @mutomboinprogress
      @mutomboinprogress  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      😂😂 @ you saw this coming. Haha! Love that you recognise that taking a step back was improving the actual quality of life. At a certain point, not everything is about income or money. Though of course, we all strive to have enough and then some. Loool.
      Love the two suggestions you put forward. Very valid and I totally agree with you on this, especially since I am still interested in the industry. Thank you so much for taking time out to write this! I'll always appreciate it, Ella ❣

    Mmmh Mutombo. This is the perfect reality of alot of women abroad. Ontop of all the depression and all you still have to be a FULL TIME MOM to 1,2,3.... Children. And you can't just quit cuz family back in Cameroon depends on you. As you rightly said, that's why I took so loooooong breaks from TH-cam cuz I couldn't just manage my full time job, days of hours at my 9-5 which slowly turned 7-8 with no help, motherhood....aarrrrg 😩😩😩....it's reallllllyyyyyy tough. If I had my way I would have abandoned everything and go into hiding for a bit😮😢

      😭😭😭😭 Please don't make me cry this evening... Too late. I'm already sniffling ❤❤
      I'm glad you feel validated in how you have been feeling because sometimes, one just needs that acknowledgement that there is nothing wrong with how you are feeling and that it's completely normal.
      If ever you do decided to leave, please make sure you have a plan before you leave and of course save save save money... In fact, even if you aren't planning to leave, save as much money as you can. Having a good cushion just helps you walk taller and sometimes gives you more confidence and backbone to tackle day-to-day issues.
      Thank you so so much!

    Wow, I’m sure quitting wasn’t easy but just from your appearance I can see the difference, the weight lifted off you! There’s a sense of calm, relief/ease and light about you! 😇😍Bravo to pursuing what is best for you at this season of your life. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾I had to slow down (cut back) at my job too last year even though my job is fulfilling, because the previous year I was working too much and was feeling overwhelmed. Even though it meant making less financially, the peace I gained (and the extra time to visit/be with family and engage with friends) has been totally worth it for the me. I might pick up again later but for now I’m just grateful to do with less. Less can truly be more sometimes!

    Thanks for the update Hun! One thing I have learned during COVID is that we must find what not only makes us happy but what our body wants. Unlike you I am an extrovert and being MOSTLY online for months at a time affected me greatly but thankfully I was able to figure it out and actively plan how to go forward better! Keep doing what works best for you! IT'S IMPORTANT!

      What you said about learning more about yourself during Covid is spot on!! I am an introvert but I also learned that being an introvert doesn't mean I should go for several days without human interaction. It's terrible. There's a reason why solitary confinement is extra punishment in prisons. Anyway, that's beside the point, I think. Haha. I didn't know you were an extrovert, omg! It's always nice to learn something new about the people who have been here from day 1.
      Thanks for the encouraging words, I really appreciate you taking time out to share. Full disclosure, I read this comment a while ago but I didn't want to respond until I was able to sit down and write all the above... and that brings me to today. Thank you so much, once again.

    Wow! You are such an inspiration!
    Watching you take control of your life and make such a big change is truly inspiring.
    Social exhaustion or introvert burnout is a true thing and crucial to one’s mental well-being.
    It takes a lot of spine and stomach to leave a great job and pursue something you’re more passionate about, but you did it!
    Keep pushing forward and never forget how amazing you are. You are a true inspiration to anyone who wants to but is afraid to take that first step.

    I applaud your boldness
    It's quite a decision to take... but
    Have you considered working remotely.. There are a lot of remote engineering jobs... I wish you the best on your journey to self-employment and may God guide you😊😊😊😊

    • @mutomboinprogress
      @mutomboinprogress  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Remote work is actually one of the non-negotiables I was alluding to at the end of this video (or at least, hybrid coz I don't mind going to the office a few times a week), so I'm definitely open to that... but we'll see. I trust that once I find the right role, I'll be back in the game!
      The main reason I'm not in a rush to get into that now is that I want this channel to gain momentum and reach a point where I can actually take a step back and go back into an engineering career. Looking at the African landscape, I realised that there is a reason why all the biggest African creators are full-time creators. If I can pay for assistance with some of the work, then for sure, I will be able to do both. It takes a lot of dedication and I want to see how far this can go.
      Thank you for the well wishes, Patience, and for always coming back ❤❤

    I can relate, I worked in project management/ administrative roles for a while. It really sucked, plus I have adhd and I hate meetings. It was one boring meeting after the other, and constantly communicating with random people in different teams and multitasking many things. I was always depressed and drained on my way home. Went back to school and retrained. I’m a web developer / designer now, I’m happy just coding and fixing things for hours on my own. Nobody bothering me. Of course still have meetings but just once a week 😊
