First few seconds hits home :( I'm almost 5 months in and have been constantly watching 'how to quit your job' videos in youtube. It's just painful how much energy and time this job drains from me and yet I can't see myself enjoying even if I did advance in this career :(
ethylalcohol - My heart goes out to you. In such jobs, we tend to feel powerless, particularly when we're unsure of what direction to move in. I understand it's easier said than done, but I hope you remember that no matter what, you retain the power of choice. Choose to look inward, to use your experience as a mirror to find your way. Choose to control what you can, and let go of the rest. Above all, choose yourself. I'm fully confident that you'll find your way, even if you feel lost or discouraged at times - you're on the right path. Keep being you, and doing what you can. I believe in you!
Hi Dennis, Thank you for this video! I haven’t personally quit a job before because I just graduated this year. I’ve always loved art and design, and I took a step and created my first web design and it was SO COOL, but for some reason, there’s this voice telling me I can’t be like other designers (designers that make you think: why am I existing ? haha), so I started learning Data Analysis about three months ago (which I’m regretting right now, LOL). Your video literally popped up, and I felt like I had no choice but to click. Now, I’m taking it as a sign to do what’s best for me and to do what I have always loved to do, not just what others expect me to do. I also appreciate how you emphasized that quitting isn’t a black-and-white decision. It’s easy to watch short videos or stories and think it’s a quick, simple process, but I can imagine how much thought and emotional energy goes into making such a life-changing choice. Your perspective sheds light on that complexity, and it’s something I’ll keep in mind for my future decisions! Wish you all the best! Best regards, Mona
@@Mona-Ali.Hey! This is really affirming for me to hear. I’m glad to hear you’re pursuing what you love and are clearly excited about! Following your joy will serve you more than anything else in life. Wishing you all the best! And keep me posted on your journey - I’d love to see some of your designs some time. Dennis
@dennisxiao i relate very much to the first 5 mins of your video. I've spent 8 months now watching these videos, reading books about quitting, yet still afraid to pull the trigger. What if i dont have enough money? So i say let me work another few months to secure my bonus. Then another 3 months for this 401k vest. Viscous cycle and worst since ive spent 15 years into this career. I dont even know who i am or what i have without this job.
@@adammorra3813 Hey Adam, I hear and see you. It can be quite scary to step into the unknown. As you’ve mentioned, beyond the financial instability, the loss of identity can be quite destabilizing. Wishing you well during this time, let me know if a continued conversation would be helpful

@@dennisxiao Thanks a lot, Dennis! I really appreciate your encouragement. I’ll definitely keep you updated on my journey!
Just found your video while I was searching for this topic, thanks for your sharing. I still need to do a few things before I can officially quit.
@@SreaputhmesaSun glad you made it here - wishing you well in your journey leading up to and after quitting 🙏

There’s a whole bunch of Asian parents slapping their foreheads about the impact of these “I quit” videos on their high achieving offspring. 🙂
